SELF-POISE
When the equilibrium is disturbed, oscillation takes place for a while. This is true of the living beings too. All activities are meant to regain the lost poise.
The calm sea becomes boisterous when the gale blows. The mind similarly becomes restless when desire sets in. Frenzied activities take place. This unbalanced state of mind needs quelling through discrimination.
Be free from the pairs of opposites, ever-balanced, unconcerned with getting and keeping and centred in the Self.
--- Bhagavad Gita

RÉFLEXIONS OU SENTENCES ET MAXIMES MORALES
65
Il n'y a point d'éloges qu'on ne donne à la prudence. Cependant elle ne saurait nous assurer du moindre événement.
66
Un habile homme doit régler le rang de ses intérêts et les conduire chacun dans son ordre. Notre avidité le trouble souvent en nous faisant courir à tant de choses à la fois que, pour désirer trop les moins importantes, on manque les plus considérables.

65.—There is no praise we have not lavished upon Prudence; and yet she cannot assure to us the most trifling event.
66.—A clever man ought to so regulate his interests that each will fall in due order. Our greediness so often troubles us, making us run after so many things at the same time, that while we too eagerly look after the least we miss the greatest.
