Since the moment I realized the meaning of balance

I wonder in awe and try to align the mind-body-soul.

For I know, once this balance is achieved

Everything falls into place.

I see every particle of this universe

is dwindling, in the rhythm of the supreme

Altering between zero and one,

Ultimately balancing the art

Of creation and destruction.

A spiritual poem on Balance

    I couldn’t agree more with you, Swarnali! Balance is everything in life. Without balance comes chaos!

    Indeed this is the truth! Balance is not stillness; it is the dance between creation and destruction, the rhythm of the universe itself.

    Nice. Even though it tilts towards being preachy.

    Indeed! Balance is the core of what we should achieve but is quite elusive and hard to sustain! Lovely poem!

    Reminded me a line that Tanmay Bhat said on a show recently, “There is a thin line between bringing justice and doing injustice’

    Mind-body-soul – you begin with finding personal harmony – holistic.

    From the inner balance, you begin to explore the equilibrium of the universe.

    I spent some time to grasp your concept of zero and one – creation and destruction? balance of the universe in elliptical path – near and far? Near and far sound apt to me.

    Balance rules the world, when it is disturbed, the unimaginable can unfold.

    good one. Like to explore other poems too..

    All the best.

      the poem clearly says – creation and destruction; asking us to acceptance of duality!!

        Duality and non-duality, both.

      Though I have my own interpretation of the ‘zero’ and the ‘one’, I would like my readers interpret them on their own. Here lies the beauty of this poem. Thanks for reading, means much!
