Essence of j4š fourth JhÄna
* work on imperturbability (aneƱja), as exemplified in
MN 125 with the war elephant in battle doing his job fearlessly despite being assaulted on all fronts.
* the quintessential quality of sammÄ samÄdhi, righteous undistractible lucidity, is
khanti, patient-endurance: The ability to bear the onslaught of dukkha arising at all six doors of the sense.
* You can see how upekkha, equanimous-observation, becomes purified in fourth jhÄna, with patient-endurance and imperturbability coming into prominence.
