- padmanandanasya vairagya shataka

You may find many people who are good at arts and whose fame has taken them places. You will find others who will give away all their wealth to the needy (even if they are undeserving) as if it were just a blade of grass. You will find courageous people who are ready to lay down their life without any hesitation for the sake of their masters. All these people are common. But you will find only two or three people in this entire world who treat both their enemies and well-wishers alike. That level of detachment is rare.
