Balance is key. Balance is a virtue. Balance is next to godliness, maybe. We should all aspire to better balance. Too much of what is said in this world is one-sided, and we need more balance – in our speech, in our music, in our art, in everything

This exhibition sets an example and convey the message:
Earth and the entire universe are run by The Almighty with a perfect balance in every sphere of that vast expanse. Our lives are a mixture of different roles. Most of us are doing the best we can to find whatever the right balance is. A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful center. It neither craves others’ approval nor rejects others’ presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants. While carrying out our responsibilities on earth, each one of us will have to go through various situations and circumstances and deal with different people. This forms a very basic system of collective life where we are required to fulfill our responsibility with care by dealing justly with others. Life is like surfing. Challenges, like tidal waves, must surely come. It takes a balanced life and a firm trust in God to ride the waves of life.
