Be a spectator of Consciousness/119
To maintain one's internal balance in the right-left directions of every success or failure, favour or disfavour that come in life, is the practicality of trance. Haven't you seen any artiste dancing on the rope tied to the bamboos ? Balance between right and left is the basis of the rope-dance of life.
Therefore only he is entitled to get entry into the tension-free empire of peace who had made balance (rationality) an inseparable part of life. After all, trance too is but the extension of rationality. ‘Samwar' (beautification) is also originated from 'sam’ (balance or rationality). 'Samyakatva' (propriety) and 'Sambodhi' (the rational knowledge) also giggle on the lap of rationality. If rationality is placed in the middle of every tendency of mind, speech and body, then materialism also would be devoured by spiritualism. The love of mind, thought, body and deed that wakes up from the inner consciousness is the prologue of the 'Chaitanya darshan' (philosophy of consciousness).
