[A question by Mrs. Latika Chawda, Wardha (Maharashtra)]
Swāmi replied:- When you are balancing both Pravṛtti and Nivṛtti, it means that you are travelling in the path of Spiritual knowledge to reach the ultimate Divine goal. When you are exactly in the middle of the path, you will exactly balance both Pravṛtti and Nivṛtti as two pots having equal weight standing on your both shoulders. This means that you are treating God equivalent to your worldly bonds. But, this balancing or equilibrium of weights is true when you are in practical devotion or Karmayoga only. The path itself is Karmayoga only. There are several intellectuals, who maintain the equilibrium in theoretical knowledge-based devotion!
