1.22  mrdu-madhya-adhimatratvat-tato pi visesah

Per Govindan, Thus the characteristic difference as to how quickly cognitive absorption is reached depends on whether the yogin’s practice is weak, moderate or intense.

OUCH!

A mild (mrdhu) practice is uneven, sporadic, full of doubts, ups and downs and full of distractions, which carry one away.  A moderate (madhya) practice has periods of intensity and devotion, alternating with periods of forgetfulness, distractions and indulgences in negative thinking and habits.  An intense practice  is characterized by the constant determination to remember the Self and to maintain equanimity through sucess and failure, pleasure and pain, growing in love, confidence, patience and sympathy for others.

EQUANIMITY is quite a challenge for humanity.
