Om Swami
How can I stay calm among friends, enemies, praise and insult?
Stay even-minded toward enemies
A person who has risen above the gunas (the three qualities of nature: sattva, rajas, tamas) stays steady and even-minded among friends, enemies, praise and blame. Someone is not dear just because they said kind words, nor unfriendly because they said harsh ones.
Whether among enemies, or whether he is being criticised or praised, he stays steady and even-minded. This is the mark of a person who has gone beyond the gunas.
