Serene Equanimity promotes imperturbable Peace:
Equanimity just looks on and observes, while calmly settled in composed
neutrality.
Equanimity is characterized as promoting the aspect of impartiality among
beings..
Its function is to see the equality of all beings. It is manifested as the
quieting of
both resentment and approval. Its proximate cause is seeing and
comprehending
the ownership, and efficacy of kamma thus: All beings are
owners of their actions,
born, created, and conditioned by the accumulated effect of their past
intentions!
Whose, if not theirs, is the choice by which they have become happy, or
unhappy,
or will break free from suffering, or have fallen down from their past good
state?
Equanimity succeeds, when it makes both resentment, and endearment subside, and
it
fails, when it instead produces a bored, indifferent, and careless state of
negligence.

Non-involved and even Equanimity is a subtle form of happiness... By
stabilization it
completes, perfects, and consummates all the other six links to awakening: Awareness,
Investigation, Energy, Joy,
Tranquillity and Concentration. Equanimity is the proximate
cause for knowing and seeing it, as it really is.
Equanimity silences any stirred agitation!
When seeing and noting:
"All this is constructed, conditioned, gross, and
transient decay:
But this state of
serene equanimity is indeed exquisitely peaceful...", then instantly right
there ceases any arisen agreeable or nasty feeling, when
Equanimity
takes its stance...!
