Now success and failure cannot really matter because neither can they inflate you nor diminish you. Why won’t they inflate you? “Because I am already alright. Now, what can the fruit of my action give me? I require no fruit.” Ah, wonderful word: I require no fruit.
“That doesn’t mean there would be no fruit. There would be fruit, of course. Each cause bears an effect; the tree would bear the fruit. But I require no fruit. If I get a fruit, wonderful. Nice fruit, nice taste! Ah, a little bitter? It’s okay. I require no fruit. I am already alright.” This is Yoga.
