You want to remain humble, that’s all right. But that does not mean that you should be sad always. Be cheerful. You are afraid that you would get weak if you smile. You think that now its moment of joy so I am smiling but to maintain the equanimity perhaps I should not smile such that when its the turn of sorrows I can still maintain the balance. But see it the other way. You smile when it’s the time of joy and feel that you find strength and give others strength too to face the tough moments too with the smile in your face. Is that not also the maintenance of equanimity? Someone might say that I am going on the wrong path but in times of crisis when we shall maintain our strength then we can prove how pure the relationship is.
So to be humble and to maintain equanimity it is not necessary to be sad but instead necessary to face all joys and sorrows with equal courage and smile.
