Introduction
          Silence is the abode of God; and quietness, the gateway into His presence. But, unfortunately, people negelct to practise silence, quietness and meditation, due to general spiritual blindness, ignorance and laziness. All because people do not study Spiritual Science. The ability to stay calm over life changing situations is called Spiritual Equilibrium, being calmly active and actively calm.

          Everyone can attain the glorious state of peace and poise by:
  1. Being moderate in every activity: he does not eat too much or too little; he does not over sleep or under sleep. He does not play too much or too little. And so on.
