Changes

The first business of the sadhaka is to see whether he has the perfect equality… There are four things that he must have; first, equality in the most concrete practical sense of the word, ''samatā'', freedom from mental, vital, physical preferences, an even acceptance of all God's workings within and around him; secondly, a firm peace and absence of all disturbance and trouble, ''śānti''; thirdly, a positive inner spiritual happiness and spiritual ease of the natural being which nothing can lessen, ''sukham''; fourthly, a clear joy and laughter of the soul embracing life and existence.
