LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
with objects or from surprise, performs actions
without any despondency or fear or without any
desires in objects so as to be merely a witness to all,
is never affected by fear or happiness and does not
rejoice or repine, through an equal vision over all.
Know also that his mind will be undisturbed,
whether in birth or death, appearance or
disappearance (of objects).
He is the great true enjoyer who does not, through
anger, long for or reject anything but enjoys fully
only those things that befall him. We shall say
more about him. He will not lose his equilibrium of
mind even in the enjoyment of the illusory
pleasures and pains productive of excessive fear
and no bliss; he will consider in the same light and
enjoy things productive of dotage or death, regality
or adversity; he will taste, with neither joy nor
sorrow, dainties of all tastes whether bitter, sour,
sharp, or saltish. Like salt, he will associate with
both the virtuous and the vicious. Such is the true
enjoyer.‟
