Equanimity
💡 Explanation:
The term 'Upeksha' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'ksh', which means 'to see' or 'to observe'. It is often translated as 'equanimity' or 'indifference', but it more accurately refers to a state of calm and steady attention to the present moment, without judgment or attachment.
