Chapter 4 Shloka 22 यदृच्छालाभसंतुष्टो द्वंद्वातीतो विमत्सरः समः सिद्धावसिद्धौ च कृत्वापि न निबध्यते Yadricchaalaabhasantushto dvandvaateeto vimatsaraha Samaha sidhhavasidhhau cha kritvaapi na nibhadyate Content in whatever comes of its own accord transcending duality free from envy balanced in success and in failure, One is not bound even when performing actions. Karma yoga inspires us to work relentlessly. The output of our project may be sometimes favourable and sometimes not. The follower of Karma yoga knows that he is one of the many variables that determine the output of his work and is therefore content with whatever comes his way. He does not let unfavourable outcomes impact his level of work. This is the Prasaada Buddhi. Favourable and unfavourable success and failure heat and cold praise and criticism are duality. It arises because our minds tends to one aspect of nature as Positive and reject the other as Negative but the follower of Karma yoga knows that nothing is absolutely good or bad. It is all part of Ishvaraa and therefore remains EQUANIMOUS which is nothing but Samatva Buddhi. The follower of Karma yoga knows that ultimately we are all part of the same higher ideal Ishvaraa.
