How to lead a balanced life?
Man walks with two legs: this world and the other, Righteousness and the Divine!
If he is totally engrossed in this world, he is choosing to travel all his life with a handicap; hopping on one leg.
That is fraught with trouble; he may fall any moment and break his shin. And he does!
Goodness in this world, Divinity for the life after death - equal attention to both and vigilance while taking a step with either foot - these are essential for a happy journey through life.
You have to put the right foot, the Divine step, when you enter the region of realisation. The senses have to be conquered by then.
- Divine Discourse, Jan 13, 1968.
Whatever work you do, do it in the name of the Divine and make your life sacred. You should not think that worldly life and spiritual life are different.
