In plain words
How does this newborn person give us joy? When there is a kind of attachment, my son, my child, my grandson, my granddaughter, he rejoices that a grandson has been born to him. Were it not so, how many are born in the world every day, how many die every day! Is it to be weeping and laughing all the time? That is not right. In the same bazaar, a marriage in one house, a death in another: one is rejoicing, another is weeping. If dying itself were what brings sorrow, it would surely give sorrow to all. It does not. When we inquire in this way, these ties of nature, all of them, have come about only in attachment. They have come through ties of kinship. Other than that, we can see the truth that this birth and death do not give joy and sorrow. When we inquire into the evenness of nature in this way, the two, this and that, are found to be linked. When we recognise the evenness that, just as joy and sorrow, heat and cold, dark and light are natural to nature, these two are natural to our life as well, we will not brood over it.
The second is evenness in society. What is this society? This thing called society has no form of its own. It is not a body with the five vital breaths. What ten people make by coming together, that is society. So society is just the group of individuals; it has no separate form of its own. So if one recognises well the divinity in individuality, the whole of society will be happy. What comes in here is evenness. To develop evenness in this society, the government makes plans of many kinds. How does this evenness come about? The government's plans: everyone must have land equally. Everyone must have equal property. One man has ten acres of land. Another has two acres of land. To make the two equal, he takes four acres from the one and hands them to the man with two acres. Then each comes to have six acres, evenly. The government has managed to share out land evenly, but who can share out desires evenly? So if we develop our desires evenly, property easily becomes even. Take four acres from the man with ten and give them to another, and he weeps. When the man with two acres gets four acres, he laughs. Where is the evenness here? So evenness of mind is itself evenness in society. These: honour and pride, blame and praise. In this kind of evenness, man must try to restrain it to some extent.
