DAY 6
The One Unshaken by Joy and Pain
기원전 2세기경 편찬(서사시 전승)
ORIGINAL
yaṁ hi na vyathayanty ete puruṣaṁ ... sama-duḥkha-sukhaṁ dhīram
📜 THE VERSE
The steady one whom these do not disturb, who meets pleasure and pain alike, is fit for a peace that does not fade.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Do I soar at good news and crumble at bad, handing my center to the outside each time?
📝Reflection
I do not mistake the old teacher's 'peace that does not fade' for a state without feeling. It is an unshaken center that feels both joy and grief, yet is not capsized by their waves. It is the same place the Stoics called the inner citadel. I am learning that practicing to soar a little less at good news is one body with the strength to crumble a little less at bad.

If something very good happens today, rejoice — but respond one beat slower; that restraint guards you on the bad days.
