balance
Life and health are sustained by maintaining balance, even as
the environment changes. Whenever there is imbalance, there will
be discomfort. On the other hand, the state of being known as
"well being" is really a state in which everything is
in balance – a state of harmony exists in all aspects of one's
life. It is easier to fall out of balance than to remain in
balance. Doing anything to an extreme is contrary to this basic
premise of maintaining balance. Attaining a balanced life is to
simply avoid extremes. Balance is central to the attaining and
maintaining of Radiant Health. This balance is of a dynamic
nature, governed by the principle of Yin and Yang.
The following quote was extracted from an recorded lecture by
Bagwan Shree Rashneesh on the subject of Dao. He quite
eloquently describes the importance of balance:
"Who can maintain his calm for long? Calmness comes,
silence comes – but who can maintain it for long?
By activity it comes back to life – by activity you can
maintain it. If you try to maintain it by inactivity
continuously, it will be impossible. One has to move into
opposites, to remain always transcendental.
In the day you work. In the night you sleep. If you work
continuously twenty four hours that will be death. If you sleep
continuously twenty four hours that will be death also. In the
day work hard. And in working hard you are gaining the capacity
to sleep. In the night sleep completely. In sleeping completely
you are rejuvenating and refreshing your energies to work hard.
Move into a rhythm. Lean to the right, lean to the left and
always keep the balance. Repose, calm cannot be maintained by
remaining inactive forever and ever. Be a householder, be in the
world and be out of it also, together.
Remember always that Life is a togetherness of opposites, a deep
harmony. He who embraces this Tao guards against being overful.
Whosoever comes to know that Tao is balance, God is balance,
guards against being overful.
Then don’t move too much to one side for the balance will be
lost. An imbalance is the only sin for Lao Zi. To be balanced is
to be virtuous. To be imbalanced is to be in sin. Because he
guards against being overful, he is always fresh and young,
he’s never weary, he’s never tired.
Balance gives him eternal life. Balance is vitality. Balance is
life."
