The document discusses different mental states like apathy, agitation, and super-activity. It suggests that being indifferent to pains and pleasures leads to apathy, while agitation prevents fulfillment. It asks if regularly remembering God (Namasmran) can help achieve a state of appropriate influence and balance through intellectual, emotional, and physical actions, which one must ponder and verify for themselves.

2. The concept of being above pains
and pleasures appears to be akin to
being apathetic and indifferent.

intoxication and inaction on the one
hand and agitation and aggravated
assertion on the other, do not give

objective influence on the inner and
outer environment, besides

and physical actions?
It is for everyone to ponder and
verify.
