Those who are equanimous can eradicate both good and bad deeds. Therefore, strive for Yoga - the art of working skillfully. The wise, with equanimous minds, relinquish the fruit of their actions and are freed from the bondage of life and death, attaining a state that is devoid of suffering. When your intellect is freed from delusion, you will attain indifference toward what has been heard and what has yet to be heard. When your intellect remains steadfast in divine consciousness, you will have attained Yoga.
