Life…in a balance!!
Life in itself grows on balance and that balance has got nothing to do with moderation.This is the most misunderstood concept. Had it been moderation then we wouldn't find Vivekananda or Pele… Michelangelo or Martin Luther King impacting millions till this age.
A clock wouldn't budge if the pendulum doesn’t go to extremes…!!
Nature is not moderate..its extreme.. and yet beautifully balanced because the balance is internal quality not external. External manifestation of balance is in the results it produces.. Vivekananda’s spiritual heights, Pele’s world famous Bicycle Kick .. Michelangelo’s St Peter’s Basilica or Martin Luther King’s ‘I have a dream”.. All everlasting masterpieces or magical experiences.
Sun shines with certain intensity, water flows with a vigour, winds are robust, clouds light up with some vehemence… but they have a balance ..inherent in their power.
Now you think and tell how are you living your life…with intensity or with moderation…A mother’s pain knows no boundaries when she gives birth… that's when a new life comes into being… imagine a seed forcing itself so powerfully out of the earth when new leaves spring out of it… where is moderation here… i only feel intensity and then joy!
Dreaming and fulfilling your dream is not being moderate.Accepting and being who you are is anything but being moderate.
Stretch the limits of your thoughts and you have that Eureka moment !
Expanding the boundaries of your mind or contracting your whole being into a naught is when you really experience the joy of being human… two extremes of a pendulum and in perfect balance.
Elation and sorrow…victory and loss…courage and fear…and countless other states of mind the opposites we keep dangling in between…putting all efforts into avoiding the extremes…
But can you really experience life in a real sense without experiencing the opposites?
Would love to read your thoughts here.
