Magic of moderation

Moderation seems to be so magical and liberating. 

Chariji says " God is neither this nor that but at the same time both this and that ". 

Babuji says " Grey is the colour of reality ".A mix of black and white gives grey.

Lalaji says " Moderation is a saintly attribute and the most important quality of a spiritual aspirant".

Khalil Gibran on his book The Prophet -: " some of you say that joy is greater than sorrow, some of you say that sorrow is greater than joy but I say they are inseparable.  Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember the other is asleep upon your bed" .

So two avoid extreme oscillation we need to keep our oscillation minimal.

God is zero, God is negation so to realize God the means is moderation.

In our journey we move from multiplicity to trinity then to duality and then to unity in our perception of things.

Moderation is not sometimes this and sometimes that, but moderation is at the same time both this and that.

Sahaj Marg says just like a bird with two wings find a balance between both the spiritual and material aspects of life. Daaji uses a more refined term  " integrate" instead of "balance".

If God is negation, God is love and moderation is the way to God then love is moderation! Love is not opposite of hatred. Love is our natural condition.Love is effortless effort, love is forceless force, love is powerless power. Love is beyond the dualities of senses  which mind can understand, love is unity, it begins when dualities ends.

Though all of us have all the combination of personalities within us yet the percentage of it varies. If we are 90 % introvert and 10 % extrovert or if we are 51 % introvert and 49 % extrovert makes a big difference.

1. Moderation between thinking and feeling.To take inputs from our environment we need to use both our thinking and feeling aspects of our personality.
