13.How can Grace (Fortune ;what we value and hope13) and Disgrace (disaster; what we fear) be called equal ailments? We have fears because we identify ourselves with a self (a body). For were one without self (bodiless), what evil could befall him? What do these two sentences mean? How can " Grace and Disgrace be called equal worries”? The first means that the care required to keep in favour, and the fear of losing it, fill the mind with worry. [Why should we "welcome disgrace as a pleasant surprise"? Because a lowly state is a boon: Getting it is a pleasant surprise, And so is losing it! That is why we should "welcome disgrace as a pleasant surprise."] What does it mean, to say That "rank, like self, Involves acute distress"? I suffer most because Of me and selfishness. If I were selfless, then What suffering would I bear? Therefore value the world if it were your self then you will be entrusted with the government of the world; Love the whole world as if it were your self(see the world as yourself) And then you will truly care for all things.
