'''Titikṣā''' (devanāgarī: तितिक्षा) is a [[Sanskrit]] word often related as "endurance, forbearance, patience". The ''Vedāntasāra'' (v. 22) translates it as "the endurance of heat and cold and other pairs of opposites". In the [[The Crest-Jewel of Wisdom (book)|''Vivekachudamani'']] of [[Śankarāchārya|Sri Shankaracharya]], he defines it as follows:

<blockquote>The endurance of all pain and sorrow without thought of retaliation, without dejection, and without lamentation.<ref>Mohini Mohun Chatterji (tr.), ''Viveka-Cūḍāmaṇi'' (Adyar, Madras: Theosophical Publishing House, 1968), 15.</ref></blockquote>

The book [[At the Feet of the Master (book)|''At the Feet of the Master'']] lays out a series of virtues similar to the ones used in [[Vedanta]]. The point corresponding to ''titikṣā'' is translated as "cheerfulness" and explained as follows:
 
<blockquote>You must bear your karma cheerfully, whatever it may be, taking it as an honor that suffering comes to you, because it shows the Lords of Karma think you worth helping.<ref>Jiddu Krishnamurti, ''At the Feet of the Master'', (???), ???.</ref></blockquote>
