"Out beyond the ideas of right doing and wrong doing, there is a place I will meet you there"- Rumi
While religious journey is more about vice and virtue, a spiritual journey is more about negation and holy nothingness. A state of Reality is a state in which moderation is practiced in every aspect.
"Moderation is a saintly character" says Lalaji. White and black gives grey, Babuji says grey is the color of reality .Chariji says God is not either this or that, He is both this and that.
Just as a bird flies with both the wings, just as humans walk with both the legs, moderation is all about integrating the spiritual and material aspects of life.Moderation is all about integrating the heart and the mind.When this integration is achieved we move from duality to a state of unity which is the beginning of reality.
Moderation between silence and words,
Moderation between holding on and letting go,
Moderation in knowing and applying,
Moderation in being and doing,
Moderation in activity and passivity
When we start applying moderation in the small things of day to day life, the big things will automatically be taken care by itself.
Moderation in eating, moderation in doing, moderation in speaking, moderation in expressing and above all moderation in thinking.
Moderation is raising above dualities, moderation is a liberative state and a reality condition which we need to practice and achieve permanency in it.
