whatever happens , you remain unaffected , just as you are.

[Guest guest]

Have compassionate love for others but keep it secret;

do not make a display of it or talk about it. If your desires

are fulfilled , do not be elated , and if you are frustrated

do not be dissapointed. The elation may be deceptive ;

it should be checked , for initial joy may end in final

grief. After all , whatever happens , you remain

unaffected , just as you are.
