Tao of the middle Path!!

Tao of the Middle Path
Why no satisfaction in indulgence?
Why no liberation by crushing body and mind?

Once upon a time a recluse from royalty, Siddhartha was suffering from this dilemma. Born and brought up in surroundings where only objects missing were need, scarcity, pain yet it failed to provide him the peace his mind was dying for.
But what did he get, as he left all behind, embraced the hunger and thirst of a yogi, the meager shade of trees against thunderstorms and fiery skies and company of few others practicing the same and yes all the wilderness of the forest. Nothing, nada, zilch!!! So he left the above company and after months of meditation he found the enlightenment, the light, the answer to all questions, The Tao, The Tao of the Middle path.
Some say ‘Pravriti’ (indulgence), others say ‘Nivriti’ (Detachment) is the Tao, the path to freedom. Both are true, but only for a few. For the most the middle path is the Tao!!
Eating not as per the taste of the tongue, but almost much as your tummy can take, and maybe a wee bit more or maybe less. Not chasing the desires and aspirations which instead of being satiated give berth to more, like the daemon ‘Raktbeej’ gave berth to more of his clones where any drop of his fell, but fulfilling your needs of live and maybe a bit more. Not sitting all day in padmasana, or kneeling daylong in worship, but remembering him once in a while, and doing good,never hurting others, this all is middle path.
This all is middle path of the Tao!
