Too much of too little

Yes. It is the ‘too much’ of too little that keeps us busy in the rat-race of life. We realize having missed many wonderful things in life a bit too late….

Now, I do not wish to add too much to the already too much of too little, that is ‘other-wise’ occupying our mind already too much.

But, it is worth taking a look at what could be the ‘middle’ . It was the mention about the middle that persuaded me to take up and attempt an answer.

May be, it may inspire some of us to ponder.

Tell me, spiritually or otherwise.. what is the difference between "too much" and "not enough"?
What happens in the middle?
Have anything to add?

My answer:
Well, spiritually, the middle is not actually in the "middle" itself.It is the fuzzy middle. It is the real middle of a balanced mind, which is equanimous to the outside situation, and as a result of which, invariably 'looks' at everything as that 'middle'!

Please see, wherever the mind is involved, it says not enough or too much according to getting some benefit or misery!

Where the mind is 'disallowed' to involve and judge, the real middle matches the person's middle. When we are invited to a feast, and if we are quite hungry, and all the dishes are tasty and excellent, very soon we will reach that middle, and announce "enough" (the middle), at least till we are once again hungry. It seems there was a place (Nottingham or so...), where people have some community feast (some town hall or so), where, the diner goes to the wash basin nearby, puts two fingers deep into the throat, and invokes a vomit, to be able to fill in more food! Even in this extreme example, the 'enough' is merely delayed!

Our own physical limitations can demonstrate an "enough". Continuous movie-viewing, carnal pleasures and such other...

But coming to wealth, it is usually 'not enough'. Allotment of work-load at work place is usually "too much"...

When a person "experiences" quite deep enough, in full awareness, being quite alert, and very conscious, that "the mind and the body belongs to the being" there is scope for that middle, that joyous state, whatever the outside situation. That is the spiritual part of it. We all know what it is "other"-wise.....

Nice 'tickle', this question. Thanks
