Udasina means indifference towards sorrow and joy, loss or gain, honour or dishonour. You must be concerned only to see whether your actions are pure and selfless according to your Conscience; nothing else matters, neither the praise nor the blame of other people. When your conscience tells you that what you are doing is good, you may go ahead regardless of the others, whether they are your kinsmen, friends or others. This is the true meaning of Udasina (indifference). You should not be swayed by fears or threats. In this context, it is advisable for ‘sevaks’ to keep away from politics. Sometimes, out of desire for recognition or publicity, one may be tempted to cultivate men in power. This temptation corrupts your mind. By developing the spirit of indifference (Udasinata) in its best sense, you must seek to serve all with a feeling of love. ‘Indifference’ should not assume the form of arrogance or ostentatious condescension. Adhere to what is right and turn away from what is bad. That is the highest Udasinata. (D3 , p. 358)
