Life and Balance

Life lived in balance consists of harmonizing the spiritual and material aspects and recognizing the benefits derived from life experiences. A man enjoys the riches of the Earth and is grateful for them, but not always for the important lessons learned from mistakes.

A sunset spent in the soft, golden light of gentle rays, alongside a faithful love in which nothing is lacking, comforts a man and makes him better. The circumstances are favorable, and he makes sincere promises, for life smiles upon him, and he begs for time to stop.

When things go well, a man thinks that God is an advocate of freedom, a divine promoter of beauty. The tyrannical image of a merciless and unkind god is false and has been planted in the depths of man since the beginning. In his moments of despair, when he implores mercy but is condemned even by his own heart, it is not God who speaks through it.

Love sees everything and knows our struggles. The tears that the world does not see, and if it did, would shrug and not care, are counted and transformed into wreaths with which divinity will adorn us later.

On some days, I see myself toiling from dawn until evening in a glass factory, under conditions hard to imagine, reliving fragments of memories from a past life. I sigh emotionally, as if I know it’s true, and I analyze the difference.

Back then, sweat soaked my shirt, and the skin of my face burned, but my heart was immense and full of love. My palms were calloused from labor, yet at home, the woman I returned to with all my being awaited me. Her tenderness and the evenings spent in the garden colored my modest reality, where two living treasures, with the innocent voices of children, would play.

Today, I understand that as a man becomes wealthier, he grows poorer in love. This unbalanced reality of the family is merely a transitional period, during which the collective mind goes through a gray phase.

Young people beautify themselves zealously on the outside, but their intention reminds one of a beast ready to tear apart any innocent fly that buzzes by. They seek revenge even on those who wish to make them happy, and their satisfaction lies in displaying power.

In general, those who victimize themselves are cunning, arrogant, frustrated, while the wealthy are the poorest. Those who act superior in a crowded room lack wisdom, and the friends who laugh a lot for no reason are empty on the inside.

Sophisticated living distances people from the true essence of things and the reason they descended into form, for daily chaos opposes constancy. Turmoil arises when they realize that life does not give them what they want, but rather what they are, though they remain unaware of this primordial law.

The intelligence of the masses has been reduced to identifying clothing styles and the value of brands, and more recently, to nutrients and the superficial use of devices. Even scholars no longer think about the purpose for which the wonderful world they roam was created.

The Key to Stability

The spiritual crisis faced by the masses can be understood through an analogy. The soul that is born into the world is like a man who enters a grocery store to buy what is necessary, but forgets or ignores the reason he is there. Thus, he spends the rest of his days among the shelves, convinced he has been condemned by God.

The acquisition of qualities discovered through trials that, at first glance, seemed to weaken him is the first sign of the awakening of consciousness, which means lucidity. The degree of maturity, demonstrated by the taming of character and detachment from people, places, and things, shows that the soul has surpassed the level of the animal man and steps into the higher realms of existence.

Those who are disturbed by the fact that the heart’s voice is hard to digest will realize, through their difficulty in understanding, how far they have strayed from the human essence, which is similar to the image of God, reducing their activity to what they see and bring to their mouths.

Therefore, it is not the matter itself that is important, but the benefits that the spirit, eager to experience happiness and sadness, extracts through it.
