As a child I
had learnt while studying science the importance of ‘equilibrium’. I do not
clearly remember its definition. It meant to me the natural ability for a thing
to stand up on its own – to maintain its stability. It was taught that if the
centre of gravity is closer to the ground, it increases the stability of
anything in adverse circumstances. Like extreme push or pull, a jump or a fall
etc.
Today, I
find that equilibrium is equally important for human beings. What is means to
me is the ability to retain our feet on the ground. Extreme emotions may tend
to shake the feet but adequate control of the mind helps us develop the ability
to remain on the ground.
