समत्व
Samatva
concepto“Equality,” “equanimity.” State of balance before opposites: pleasure and pain, success and failure, praise and criticism. The Bhagavad Gītā presents it as the essence of yoga: samatvaṃ yoga ucyate — “equanimity is called yoga” (BG 2.48).
Samatva is not indifference but clarity: one who has attained equanimity acts with full presence without being swept away by reactivity. It is the foundation of karma-yoga and the gateway to sthitaprajñā (stable wisdom). See upekkha.
