Equanimity is a state of calm and balance, even under stress. Rooted in Buddhist teachings, it blends compassion with detachment, embracing impermanence and interconnectedness. Through mindfulness, reflection, and balanced action, we cultivate resilience and freedom. True equanimity arises not by avoiding challenges but by embracing them with a steady mind and open heart, fostering lasting peace.

QuoraWHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN A SPIRITUAL MASTER IS ALWAYS IN SANYASAThe term "sannyasa" is derived from Sanskrit and refers to a state of renunciation or detachment from worldly pursuits. In Hinduism, a sannyasi (also spelled as "sannyasin" or "swami") is a person who has renounced worldly life and has dedicated themselves to the pursuit of spiritual enlightenmen...
However, as we have just pointed out, brains which are absorbed in some bit of wisdom, or folly, or, as it often happens, in both at once, are but slowly accessible to the things of actual life. Their own destiny is a far-off thing to them. There results from such concentration a passivity, which, if it were the outcome of reasoning, would resemble philosophy. One declines, descends, trickles away, even crumbles away, and yet is hardly conscious of it one’s self. It always ends, it is true, in an awakening, but the awakening is tardy. In the meantime, it seems as though we held ourselves neutral in the game which is going on between our happiness and our unhappiness. We are the stake, and we look on at the game with indifference.
[Du reste, comme nous venons de l’indiquer, les cerveaux absorbés dans une sagesse, ou dans une folie, ou, ce qui arrive souvent, dans les deux à la fois, ne sont que très lentement perméables aux choses de la vie. Leur propre destin leur est lointain. Il résulte de ces concentrations-là une passivité qui, si elle était raisonnée, ressemblerait à la philosophie. On décline, on descend, on s’écoule, on s’écroule même, sans trop s’en apercevoir. Cela finit toujours, il est vrai, par un réveil, mais tardif. En attendant, il semble qu’on soit neutre dans le jeu qui se joue entre notre bonheur et notre malheur. On est l’enjeu, et l’on regarde la partie avec indifférence.]

Playing in a team tournament in a couple months. Don’t expect to win.
My guard army is only
Deathriders + Lord Marshall
Baneblade + Tech Priest
Basilisk + Artillery Team
So a lot of strategems or army rules don’t apply.
I’m almost certainly spending 1CP a turn to pop smoke on the baneblade.

"Detach yourself from all that makes your mind restless. Renounce all that disturbs its peace. If you want peace, deserve it. By being a slave to your desires and fears, you disturb peace."
– Nisargadatta Maharaj
I give thanks to Providence for granting me the opportunity to come and venerate the relics and recall the figure and teachings of St. John of the Cross, to whom I owe so much in my spiritual formation. I came to know him in my youth and was able to enter into an intimate dialogue with this master of the faith, with his language and thought, culminating in the development of my doctoral thesis on Faith in St. John of the Cross. Since then, I have found in him a friend and teacher, who has pointed to the light that shines in the darkness, guiding me always toward God, “with no other light or guide / than the one that burned in my heart. / This guided me / more surely than the light of noon” (The Dark Night, stanzas 3–4, trans. Kavanaugh and Rodriguez).
The Saint from Fontiveros is the great teacher of the paths leading to union with God. His writings remain relevant and, in a way, explain and complement the works of St. Teresa of Jesus. He shows the paths to knowledge through faith, for only such knowledge in faith disposes the mind to union with the living God.
How many times, with a conviction born from experience, he tells us that faith is the most fitting and appropriate means for union with God! It is enough to cite a well-known text from The Ascent of Mount Carmel, book II, chap. 9, sec. 1: “Faith alone … is the only proximate and proportionate means to union with God. … Just as God is infinite, faith proposes him to us as infinite. Just as there are three Persons in one God, it presents him to us in this way. … Only by means of faith, in divine light exceeding all understanding, does God manifest himself to the soul. The greater one’s faith the closer is one’s union with God” (The Ascent of Mount Carmel, book II, chap. 9, sec. 1, trans. Kavanaugh and Rodriguez).
With this insistence on the purity of faith, John of the Cross does not wish to deny that the knowledge of God is attained gradually from the knowledge of creatures, as taught in the Book of Wisdom and echoed by St. Paul in the Letter to the Romans (cf. Rom 1:18–21; cf. Spiritual Canticle, st. 4, sec. 1). The Mystical Doctor teaches that in faith, it is also necessary to detach oneself from creatures, both those perceived through the senses and those reached through understanding, in order to unite oneself cognitively with God Himself. This path that leads to union passes through the dark night of faith.

When the crowd erupted in excitement, officials began placing carpets along his path, which he bypassed to continue his custom of kissing the ground. That same day, before departing Rome, he had canonized two French nuns and led the Angelus prayer in St. Peter’s Square, as he did every Sunday. This marked his 15th official trip, covering sixteen locations in nine days at an intense pace. Image credit: Marisa Flórez / prisamedia.com

If you were to tell me that detachment from becoming was the answer to my troubles, that realizing that no matter the specific content the result will always be the same, you would be right. My "problem" is that at this point in time, i don't care. Or rather, i'd still rather experience the *intimate vitality of failure*.

SCRIPTURE
Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life?
READING
It’s true that each person has a cross to bear, but there are some for whom it is heavier than others. My dear sister, you’ve already begun to see that life is not a bed of roses. God wills this to detach us from the world and raise our thoughts toward Heaven.
Yesterday, while going with the doctor to see my little Thérèse, who is very sick, I noticed a beautiful chateau and some magnificent properties. I said to myself that all of that is nothing. We’ll only be happy when all of us, we and our children are reunited in Heaven, and I offered up my child to God.
Saint Zélie Martin
Letter CF 90 from Zélie Guérin to her sister-in-law Céline
30 March 1873
PRAYER
Saints Louis and Zélie,
you who in your life as a couple and as parents
have borne witness to an exemplary Christian life,
by putting God first,
by fulfilling the duties of your state in life
and practicing the evangelical virtues,
we turn to you:
Help us to have unshakable trust in God
and to abandon ourselves to His Will,
as you did through the joys,
as well as the trials, grief, and suffering
that marked your lives.
Help us to love God with all our hearts,
to persevere through our daily difficulties,
and to abide in the joy and hope
that a living faith in Christ gives us.
Intercede for us
(Mention your intentions here)
that we may obtain the graces we need
today and every day of our lives.
Our Father…
Glory be…
Saints Louis and Zélie, pray for us.
