Balance is not Absolute there Exist Octaves of it - (4109)

Balance changes as we integrate. Balance is not a fixed or set thing.

For a beginner to work on him or herself forty minutes a day could be the right balance in his or her day. Spending that time allows the beginner time to tend to all his or her chores, duties, responsibilities and pass times.

As the beginner practices more he/she manages to change things in his or her life and works on him or herself for one hour, then one hour and a half and that seems to be the magic balance in relation to the various things of his or her life.

Then he or she practices more and even brings the work into their tasks and interactions of their daily life and of course priorities in their life change and certain pass times that were used to balance the work out before are reduced. Resulting that a new balance in their life is struck.

For example we are told that the masters work all day and night even. Their balance would be to rest by working less intensely in another direction or by working on something else, to give themselves time to rest and recuperate. That's their balance but the beginner works, then has to spend some time watching a movie, working, talking etc. to balance. If they don't do that they become a bit strange, a bit fanatical, or either very weak in their studies, just depending on which side they go to.

So a balance is always struck according to one's needs and structure. Balance for a beginner is very different to balance for someone advanced and vice versa etc.
