CHARACTERISTICS OF SAMATA (EQUANIMITY, સમતા)

 When there is manifestation of one kind of Samata, we can see the reactions and counter reactions that arise within us from all the activities of the nature, the vibrations arising from many kinds of attachments, many kinds of plays of duality, plays of ignorance and illusions and many kinds of subtle impurities. We see them as if they are kind of separate from us. These activities may express but at this stage we almost stop taking part in their activities. If we have alive, awakened and perceptible knowledge at that time that all these reactions of the Jiva-Nature is not our real form, then only we should understand that we have the beginning of achieving Samata. Once this kind of Samata takes hold, we can keep complete awareness with consciousness towards tendencies that arise from Jiva-Nature. We are not affected by such Jiva-Nature at this time and can keep separate from it. We have developed the energy and awareness with consciousness to keep separate from the plays of lower nature at this time. That is the manifestation of Samata. When such Samata matures further, it starts ruling over and in our own Prakruti.
