Spiritual balance is the ability to remain happy, to not be hostile to your neighbor when they are being hostile, and not to get caught up in the trivia.
If you can be agreeable to each and every person or situation with which you come into contact - no matter how "difficult" it is or how much you think you are in the "right" - then you are demonstrating control.
Right and wrong are concepts that only have meaning in this world, so by sorting existence on those characteristics, we are defining ourselves to exist only in this world.
So what you are accomplishing is entrenching yourself more and more in this world.
Spiritual balance is how you deal with opposition, outside of yourself and within.
Go through the things that life gives you to go through, happily. You have to loosen the grip of time, gradually.
You can do anything. You can perform miracles, but it won't fulfill you. What will fulfill you is the stillness of eternity.
You don't force change; you just open yourself to its possibilities and let it work through you.
It is possible to exert a power over all things, all beings. But we must begin with intent always.
Trust that life is guiding you and showing you every step that is necessary to learn to be perfect. Have faith in yourself. You'll come through OK. Have faith in existence.
Whatever you need will be provided. Eternity takes care of everything perfectly. So never want for that which you do not have; you have exactly what you need.
Use power carefully. Don't be afraid to have it. Learn balance and wisdom in addition to the unlocking of the kundalini, if you wish to have a happy and enlightened life.
Keep a sense of humor, that keeps you balanced, and you'll do quite well with it all, I'm sure.
We could go to monasteries. I could show you people who are very wise and they have great willpower, but they're not happy. They lack balance. They take it all too seriously.
In Buddhism balance is the most difficult thing, because it is overlooked.
I don't think you have to wait for knowledge and balance to come before you seek power because you need a certain amount of power to gain knowledge and balance.
There are also places of power that reference the fourth and fifth chakras, which are places of balance, and places of power that reference the sixth and seventh chakras, which are places of wisdom.
Pure and simple, balance is happiness.
Learn not to be attached to other people, to certain types of experiences. Allow the flow of life to guide you wherever it is supposed to and accept with equanimity, with balance, with poise, whatever happens.
If there is no way out and confrontation and battle is inevitable, one can use power and strategy, balance and wisdom and enlightenment to win, of course. But the best battle is the battle that is never fought.
Find a teacher and devote yourself to the study, but in a balanced way, not a fanatical way.
Throughout the day remind yourself that you are moving through eternity. Be focused. Be centered. Be in the now. Know what is going on in the world. Read a newspaper once in a while.
Some people just chase the glittery stuff and they have no substance to their life whatsoever. Actually all they really want is power. But they pretend they're interested in enlightenment.
Power plants break up the way you see the world; they can push you into the second attention; yet to continuously take them, weakens the subtle psychical body.
You can detach your attention from yourself and go anywhere. You can wander the universe. Big deal!
