To realize the deepest levels of equanimity, we need to let go of all our ideas of what equanimity is, and this is what drops us into the unmoving stillness.
Patience enables us to remain steadfast in the face of adversity and change. One of the noble qualities of mind, patience is the forerunner of compassion.
We steady our mind through developing concentration and come to know our own innate nature as still, yet firm and supporting. We discover a ground to our being that that allows us to meet the challenges of life in a balanced way.
