018 The Yogic Way—The Balance of Emptiness

When imbalance is experienced, the common error is to attempt to create or construct balance. And these attempts of control are endless and fruitless. The art of balance is ruthlessly simple: hold nothing. The mind that abandons holding itself dissolves the cause of imbalance. It co-emerges into the emptiness of appearance and so everything is automatically in the right place. Nothing needs to be arranged or ordered – actions that spill out of this emptiness are the natural harmony of effortless effort.
