The Necessary Balance
As a Chartered Accountant, I appreciate creation law of balance in day to day work that I do.
As a Chartered Accountant, I appreciate creation law of balance in day to day work that I do. There must be a corresponding entry for each transaction, otherwise, the book will simply not balance. In simple terms, there must be TWO WAY entries at all times.
In practice, if this is not followed, there are difficulties in getting the accounts ready for External Auditors who must ‘’investigate’’ all aspects of the company’s incomes and outgoings and report to shareholders.
Balance Is Essential In Our Life Too
I look at our lives in the same way of applying a balance in all we do. Balance, in what we do, eat, drink, rest and leisure inclusive. Idleness and indolence are as harmful as overworking our systems. No matter how much we love food, we must not become gluttonous and overeat. Otherwise, tilting the balance can spell doom for us.
Why The Need For Balance?
The law of balance, which is part of the creation, enables healthy upbuilding and maintenance, which invigorates and refreshes the spirit. There’s harmony in life when this balance is observed.
In the law of giving and receiving, for instance, the Great Sage once said, ‘’It is more blessed to give than to receive.’’ This does not necessarily imply tangible gifts, otherwise the poor would be unable to give. Gifts of love, listening ear, help and support around the needy, and heartfelt expression of gratitude are all reciprocal way of balancing tangible gifts.
In life, we express this law in many ways. One is ‘’Success comes only to those who are ready to work hard for it.’’. This is expressed by Goethe as ‘’What from your Father’s heritage is lent, earn it anew to really possess it.’’ This simply means the art of earning means exerting of oneself to work which must first be given in order to receive and possess something.
The Law Of Balance Makes Exchange Imperative
The value in nature and those bestowed on us as individuals are enormous. This means that gifts are not meant to be with-held by us, but rather are to be shared and given out to help others, who are in need of these for their completion.
Andrew Carnegie (1835–1919) once said, ‘’He who dies rich, dies disgraced’’ simply means that the values in us can enrich others. We don’t have to be like Andrew Carnegie who donated all his wealth to charity, but we will do our best if we trust and believe that our wealth is for the greater good of the society.
In Spiritual sense, all needs (not want) are met. And there is enough for all. The fact that you have does not deprive any other of his needs. That is nature’s way of providing values for all, through others who make exchange imperative.
