Everything in the physical universe follows a cyclic pattern. Nothing remains the same forever; energy is constantly flowing from lower to higher states and vice versa. The high point of the cycle of birth, growth, and decay is the point of death, destruction or the end when everything that visibly exists changes form. There is a neutral gear for everything in this grand creation. It is the gear that brings everything to stillness, neutrality, balance and renewal.
There are laws of motion and other laws in physics that explain the dynamics of how energy flows in the physical universe. Things in motion come to rest to start again and this is the pattern that defines various energy cycles in nature–the seasons, the day and night cycle, the water cycle and several other ecological cycles. Ecologists say that even natural disasters such as forest fires, floods and earthquakes are nature’s way of balancing.
When driving a car we shift gears via the neutral gear to change the speed of the vehicle. When we stop the car we put it in neutral gear. When things are in neutral gear they are at rest. They get aligned properly so that they can move in the right direction.
Neutrality brings balance and fairness in all actions. In India at several places they have Dharam Kaanta for weighing goods in commercial vehicles such as trucks. It is believed that weighing at such a place assures accuracy in weighing standards. It is again a way to ensure neutrality and fairness in commercial transactions.
In political and social affairs mediators play a vital role. They act neutrally to find a solution for different parties or groups of people involved in a conflict or disagreement. There are mediators even in families and communities who help resolve family disputes. Meditation helps in looking at a problem or dispute from a neutral perspective which facilitates a balanced and unbiased decision and choices.
It is only through spiritual awareness that one can act neutrally and be free from the bondage of karma. It is only when we perform neutrally that we can empower others or do welfare and constructive work.
