Tirthankar Mahavir remained in an Equanimous state even when He had to roam for 6 months, without food, for Gochri (alms). He neither got extremely happy when He got Gochri nor was He extremely disappointed when He did not. This was the kind of poise He had!

This Mahavir Janma Kalyanak, let us PLEDGE that we will try to be Equanimous for all the food that we get and be content. We will not complain or crib about our food.
