It is the poise of a great nature, in harmony with itself and its ideals. It is the moral atmosphere of a life self-centred, self-reliant, and self-controlled. Calmness is singleness of purpose, absolute confidence, and conscious power, --ready to be focused in an instant to meet any crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sphinx is not a true type of calmness, --petrifaction is not calmness; it is death, the silencing of all the energies; while no one lives his life more fully, more intensely and more consciously than the man who is calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fatalist is not calm. He is the coward slave of his environment, hopelessly surrendering to his present condition, recklessly indifferent to his future. He accepts his life as a rudderless ship, drifting on the ocean of time. He has no compass, no chart, no known port to which he is sailing. His self-confessed inferiority to all nature is shown in his existence of constant surrender. It is not, -- calmness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Binker North","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47615970607255,"sku":"9781774416211","price":1772.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781774416211.webp?v=1775103837","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-majesty-of-calmness-individual-problems-and-possibilities-9781774416211","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
