उदर समाता अन्न ले, तनहि समाता चीर I अधिकहिं संग्रह ना करै, तिसका नाम फिकीर II
Life is full of beautiful things. Some are good to eat, some are good to smell and some are good for health. But none is good if consumed in excess. The most delicious and nutritious food can be devoured only to a limit, after that it will cause discomfort. Money in excess is root cause of many evils. Exercise in excess can damage muscles. Child care in excess is called pampering and spoils the child. Sleep in excess produce laziness. Work in excess makes us workaholic. There is no place for excess in life. Life is beautiful if things are present in balance. Life gives us enough opportunities and resources. It is up to us to manage it well. A good life is all about balancing and optimising resources. Anything in life in excess may not be good for us. We need to strike the right balance for everything.
"Kabir says, eat to kill your hunger and wear clothes to cover your body but do not amass things when not needed, for all worry is born of excess. If you can't be content with what you have, you are unlikely to be happy with more."
