Yin and yang balance as depicted by the feet of the lord saint atop the polarities of life |
Yin and yang must go in tandem and have perfect harmony for there to be ultimate peace. The worldly life we know must go with spiritual life but not displace spiritual. Spiritual practice does not mean one forgoes worldly life. This Lord Bo Tien wants us to know. There is no renunciation of worldly life. If there be need for spiritual practice to displace worldly life, this would mean escape from life. There is no escape but the more correct spiritual life would mean one will embrace life and be at peace. To do so, one must be in control of life and not be controlled by life. One can do so when there is balance of the yin and yang in life --- the spiritual and the mundane.
