Equilibrium is when things happen effortlessly, leading to peace, not having to worry about the myriad variables in our lives which affect us. We put a lot of effort to push things towards this equilibrium. We push with great fortitude with all our conviction. We refuse to recognize that equilibrium is not a way of nature. It is simply unnatural. On the way, we even award ourselves countless medals for courage, patience and even intelligence. Yet we strive towards it, well knowing that it will definitely last for not more than a few moments.
Ironically, it is the pursuit of equilibrium which causes much of the anxiety and pain. What would happen if we let go of our quest for happiness/equilibrium? Would it lead to happiness? But then how can that be?

nice musings...
a balanced approach to equlilibrium rather than rushing to find the 'inner-equlibrium' is probably the key ...what makes many falter and trip is this rush to find 'equlibrium'. Buddha and Krishna talk about patience as a virtue. It takes time to know your inner being with all its warts and good things. Identifying one's failing is probably the first step in the process of rectification. Another big hurdle is 'ego'...it is easier said then done to put one's ego away. Many have tried but failed.
Anyways just on a different subject...have you read the famous 'Ozymandias'...captures neatly the destruction of ego by the all powerful 'time'...
It has been great to read your blogs...
take care and stay happy...
