________________ elopment and for the development of society, nation and mankind. One Point Programme of Equanimity : The basic formula of equanimity is dominance of conscious on matter-not the vice-versa. Life is to be based on the principle of equanimity. The habits and attitudes be developed in the light of equanimity from one generation to other generation on such a strong footing that not only mankind but all the beings may come under the net of cooperation and sympathy. The equanimous vision will increase the capacity of Seeing the actuality of the seer. To see in actuality what we are, will motivate us for transformation. A mirror should reflect what is real but whether it does so or not can be known only by seeing the mirror. If we see that mirror is dusty and dirty then this actuality will motivate us for cleaning it. So is true about ourselves. First we must know in what distorted form our consciousness is under the clutches of inequanimity, then knowing this, we have to make efforts for its removal. Therefore, the first ladder for self progress is self-knowing, in actual form whatever it is. This self knowing in actuality will lead to self-modification and ultimately to the perfect equanimous state. Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
