No. 3 - Equanimity
The third exercise is the development of balance between joy and sorrow,
pleasure and pain, the heights of pleasure and the depths of despair. Strive
for a balanced mood. An attempt should be made not to become
immoderately angry or annoyed, not to become anxious or fearful, not to
become disconcerted, nor to be overcome by joy or sorrow. Rather should
your natural feelings be permitted to be quietly felt. Try to maintain your
composure. This leads to an inner tranquillity and purer feelings of the soul.

No. 5
For this exercise, make the effort to confront every new experience with
complete open-mindedness. The habit of saying, "I never heard that" or "I
never saw that before" should be overcome. The possibility of something
completely new coming into the world must be left open, even if it
contradicts allyour previous knowledge and experience.
No. 6
If you have been trying the earlier exercises of thinking, will, equilibrium,
positivity and tolerance, you are now ready to try them together two or three
at a time, in varying combinations until they become natural and harmonious.
