Keep your balance….

Keep your balance….

But what does it mean?!?

To meditate? To make yoga? To do breathing techniques? To smile?

“The balance is in your mind!” This phrase is even more buzzy than the phrase “keep your balance.” Why? Because these are just fancy philosophical words, and if you do not dive deeper beneath the level of words, all of these will be only nice phrases for public speaking and writing texts.

Everything is really in our mind, but if a person does not understand that his/her mind is conditioned (egoic) and doesn't see all ego manifestations in his/her behaviour, this person does not control his/her life and cannot evolve. Balance is always about the integrity of duality: bad and good, soul and mind, internal demons and internal light, spirituality and being grounded….

When a person sees his/her inner darkness and is capable of already controlling, lowering, and transferring it, this is about true balance; all other is an illusory distraction, or spiritual distraction.

When you fall down, are in the harsh and difficult outer circumstances that are not under your control, are overwhelmed with your ego, but you see all of these, you fall on your “two legs” feeling grounded and changing only your inner darkness that was revealed, that is balance.

If you play the role of proclaiming buzz phrases, making fancy spiritual techniques, going to retreats and vipassanas, etc, but you do not see your egoic mind, you are not balanced.

The difference between who I was and who I am now is in the ability to see my ego and its tricky games. Not all the time I can see it, but mainly yes. There are times when I see it and shut it up. There are times when I see it, hate it, but at that moment cannot do anything to stop it or shut it up. There are times when I feel this integrity of being spiritual and grounded at the same time. There are times when I am too spiritual and detached from reality; or on the contrary very realistic and grounded forgetting about my spiritual part. The balance is in between, and this is always a hard inner work.
