"I am neither happy nor sad. I am shaken neither by success nor by failure. I am not numb".
Please this is not me, at least not yet. These are the words of a Sthitaprajna person, described in the Gita. My question is does someone like this exist in today's world. The one of steady wisdom, unshaken by pleasure or plain, who "neither craves nor craves".
On the outset it looks like a difficult target to achieve but going deeper, you know it is a work in progress. The ancient systems focused and stressed on consistency. Small repeatable tasks done daily. So even if we aspire to reach a Sthitaprajna state it cannot be like "from today". It has to be a state which we become over a period of time.
And only time will tell if people really misunderstood the unmoved or was the unmoved the most reverred person.
