To Be As One Ought Be

"He is the wise man who has by perfect living gained the instinct of rightness by which he guides himself, whether in thought or action, who has found that centre of balance which is always over his point of contact with circumstances. He is the man whom Nature pours the riches of all her instincts."
- N. Sri Ram, Thoughts for Aspirants

Every morning we enter society where corpuscle masses entangle themselves in the "if's, but's, and when's." We live by these, a pencil line on a Gregorian calendar. To attain peace we have to find the balance of joy vs. overpowering selfishness, contentment vs. boredom, free will vs. kindness. N. Sri Ram said it perfectly, to obtain happiness one has to know his boundaries.
