Samayika's maturity is Vitragta, freedom from worldly attachment.Purity increases with the growth of detachment and equanimity. It is possible to stop inflow of karma by detachment and equanimity. Equanimity is a protection from the praise and blame, success and failure, pleasure and pain, fame and disrepute. The practice of Samayika will teach us how to preserve inward integrity and balance of mind and how to conquer the world from an environment both hostile and intractable. The strong presence of inner calm, well-being, confidence, vitality, or integrity can keep one upright. As inner strength develops, equanimity follows and one begins to let go of the reactive tendencies. When the mind is calm, without hostility and without ill-will it produces a radiance and warmth of being. Equanimity comes from inner strength or stability. Inner peace ultimately leads to external peace. Samayika stands for equanimity whereby one can go along the path of liberation in the form of right knowledge, right faith and right conduct.
