What is the balance in life we all must maintain? Bhagawan lovingly explains so we may march towards our goal.

Man walks with two legs: iha and para (this world and the other), Dharma and Brahman, righteousness and God! If he is totally engrossed in this world, he is choosing to travel all his life with a handicap; hopping on one leg. That is fraught with trouble; he may fall any moment and break his shin. And he does! Goodness in this world and Godliness for life after death – equal attention to both, and vigilance while taking a step, with either foot – these are essential for a happy journey through life! You must put the right foot, the Brahman step, when you enter the region of realisation. Your senses must be conquered by then. ‘Go’ means ‘senses’ and ‘Go-pi’ means the person who has subdued the senses, as a result of surrender to Go-pala, master of the Go (senses). Krishna once told Arjuna that he can enter Vrajamandala (the region where Gopis lived), only after mastering his emotions and impulses, and his tendency to yield to the senses!
