Equilibrium

“a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.”

We have all heard this term as kids. Yes, during our science studies. Isn’t it?

How many of us have forgotten this term?

Well, many of us.

Recently I encountered an episode and a thorough introspection finally brought this word to me, this morning.

Equilibrium : A state of balance.

A state of balance when you get entangled in who is right, who is wrong. A state of balance when you get entangled in who said this, who said that. A state of balance when you realise there are no answers but only depths of unending questions. A state of balance, when you seek peace.

The episode also brought forth importance of many things like, the need to communicate, the need to wait till you know what you wish to communicate, the need to know if the person opposite to you is ready or not, for what you express, will not let your intentions reach that person if, they aren’t ready. They aren’t awakened.

How does awakening happen?

I would say, ultimate pain brings Awakening.

Pain results in restlessness. Restlessness results in Courage. But if let loose without direction can go do irreversible damage like an unaimed arrow. Only control and belief in doing the right thing opens doors to right way of communication, right way of expression, right openness to listen, understand, fathom and eventually accept.

Acceptance of what?

Acceptance that, two opposite forces are at play. Each right in their own way. But our clouded mind, doesn’t let us see it clearly. Our way of perceiving things clash. Our ways of thinking clash. Our ways of doing things clash. Our ways of wants and needs clash. And we get entangled in the mad rush of proving who is right, who is wrong.

Why do they clash ? They clash as we have our own journey, own history, own circumstances, upbringing, cultural and moral knowledge, habits and principles.

Step back, breathe, let time pass, time helps you to introspect. Go inwards. Silence the world. Breathe, sleep over the tensions, analyse, jot down, get fresh air..

Let Time help you. Surrender.

Learn to believe that We are complicated species who think, act, behave, feel, express, communicate differently. And still we are living on this one planet – Glued by Gravity.

Answers you seek will come to you!

And.. That… is Equilibrium – A State of Acceptance that two opposing forces can be right and wrong, black and white, yin and yang, positive and negative, but still be in a state of Balance.

Seek Equilibrium.
