Ability to react evenly in any situation ensures lesser extremity of reactions, thereby ensuring easier recovery from a situation.
Aparigraha means "hands off" or "not seizing opportunity." On an extended scale it can mean equanimity.
The human safety system is designed to evaluate any situation on the basis of “Do I like this or not”/ “Is this good for me or not”/ “Is he friend or foe”. This evaluative system then takes a position based on the data available and prepares a coping action. In many cases, the brain decides based on previous information available with it, and this may not be appropriate to the situation and result in over-reaction. This is why equanimity is important.
Equanimity is the non-judgmental attitude that we take to ensure that we are fair to ourselves & others when taking a decision. It removes bias, hasty, ad hoc & ill -considered decisions.
