Imperceptible Truth
Somewhere between mad materialism and sleepy spirituality is the path of wisdom, the path of yoga.
On account of its subtlety, it cannot be pointed out as 'This is it'.
It can only be described as the Middle Path.
It is not broad, like the huge middle class in society.
It is the finest centre, the middle, the imperceptible truth.
Clinging
Can we live without clinging and kicking?
Appropriate Action
One had to observe this in a great master like Swami Sivananda to know where self-respect ends and arrogance begins, where timidity ends and humility begins.
One has to learn the difference between meekness and weakness, when to bend down and when not to, when to fear and when not to.
Both bending down and not bending down can be attributed to arrogance.
Here one sees the beauty of appropriate action - and it needs an awakened intelligence which is sattvic.
Life
But life is not something that stands in front of you - life is in motion.
Humility
You are extremely humble for you see that the lowliest person in the world is you in another form.
