Conent with what comes to him without effort of his own, mounting above the pairs of opposites, free from envy, his mind balanced both in success and failure; though he acts, yet the consequences do not bind hi,

Indeed something has come, or apparently so. Not what I was expecting. Far from it. But then the question is one of purpose. What is my purpose in this? How does that relate to a higher order purpose. Where is the illusion? I don’t have an answer to this one. Or am I making this difficult for myself?

I agree in surrendering claim to the results of one’s actions. But acting with wisdom. Interesting.
