581. Samah – " The Calm. " One who exists without the mind running out into the

passions of the sense organs? " In Samnyaasa, He teaches the life of calmness

and quietude and in the accumulated inner peace, the final experience is gained.

The Smriti prescribes the duties of the four stages as: " The duty of the

`Brahmachari' is service; for the `House- holder', charity; for the

`Forest-dweller' is the duty of restraint, and for the `Samnyaasin' `Calmness'.

Samnyaasa without Sama is inconceivable and this `Calmness' is His nature.
