Educational Q&A
Equanimity toward both the dear and the disliked, together with sense-control, dissolves karmic bondage; inner discipline and non-attachment are presented as direct means toward liberation.
Śrī Maheśvara is speaking as a spiritual authority, summarizing a criterion of the liberated person: one who treats friend and foe alike and remains self-restrained is said to be freed from the binding consequences of action.
