ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Samatva (Equanimity)

Samatva is a big word that means being calm and steady no matter what happens. Imagine you are playing with your favorite toy, but suddenly someone takes it away from you. You might feel upset and angry, that's normal. But being in samatva means that even though you feel upset, you don't let it take control of you. You take deep breaths and remind yourself that it's just a toy and there are other things you can play with. Samatva helps you stay calm and balanced even when things go wrong. It's like being a superhero who can stay cool under pressure!
