The Perfect Balance

October 2, 1996German Academy, (Bad Antogast, Germany)

People who are free regret that they don't have discipline. They keep promising they will become disciplined.People who are disciplined look for the end; discipline is not an end in itself, it is a means.Look at people who have no discipline; they are miserable. Freedom without discipline is absolute misery. And discipline without freedom is suffocating. Orderlines is monotonous and chaos is stressful. We have to make our discipline free and our freedom disciplined.People who have company all the time look for the comforts of solitude. People who are in solitude feel so lonely and want company. People in a cold place want a warm place. People in a warm place love something cool. This is the dilemma of life.Everyone is looking for perfect balance.Perfect balance is like a razor's edge.It can be found only in the Self.
