Under whatever situations or circumstances, adverse or favourable, the mind is imperturbed, and is at rest or unmoved in the midst of all activities. One is always at ease without grasping or aversion. In short, one is always equanimous. The Buddha-nature is fundamentally unmoved or at rest. Therefore, the imperturbability of the mind accords with the innate nature of the mind which is the Buddha-nature. Immovability of the mind is in harmony with the Supreme Way (Buddha- Path). Wherever one goes or wanders, one’s mind is appeased without any vexation. One’s body may be afflicted but one’s mind is unafflicted. One is thus considered detached from the activities of the six senses. One experiences both pleasant and unpleasant or agreeable and disagreeable without any attachment and aversion respectively. One is mentally liberated. A liberated mind is the state of No-mind. The Delivered One is equanimous under all circumstances or situations of life. No- mind connotes that the ordinary consciousness is dead and the Universal Self or Buddha-mind is resurrected. One dies before one dies. It is self-redemption in the cave of the Heart.
