Effort is also of great importance but it is not the only deciding factor either. Destiny and karma play a very important role but they are not everything. Nobody has monopoly. All of them are complete within themselves and incomplete outside them. The knowledge of limits lends balance.
Balance is the bridge
This world is one of conflicting benefits, of conflicting interests and conflicting ideas. If there were not a balance everything would go topsy-turvy. The body works because there is balance in it. Two contradictory streams of energy are flowing within it. Pran or breath is contradictory to apan and vice versa. Man lives because of the balance between the two. There are many glands in the body. They have different functions to perform and yet there is a mutual understanding and balance between them. As long as there is balance, the body is fine and once this balance is lost, trouble begins.
Balance is the bridge between two opposing claims. It prevents a clash between opposites. Anekanta has clearly explained balance.
