Neither desiring nor rejecting: na kAngkshati na dveShTi

If in all transactions with the external world (including human relationships) one stops wanting or desiring something, and yet also not rejecting anything that comes one's way, but acting always established in sattva guNa, a very dramatic change happens. Suddenly a plenitude of giving from the world inundates one. Contrary to popular belief, one does not actively have to set out to give in order to receive. The world is already giving perfectly to us what we need for liberation. Only the angle of vision, of thinking, needs to be changed. With lemons only lemonade can be made. So too, knowing the svabhAva of each thing in the world, by skillfully understanding its purpose, one must build the raft.
