“Upeksā: It is not merely a feeling of disdain or contempt for the person who fallen into vice (apunya) or one of indifference or superiority towards him. It is a searching self-examination to find out how one would have behaved when faced with the same temptations…The yogi understands the faults of others by seeing and studying them first in himself. This self-study teaches him to be charitable to all.”
