My take: Seems to me unless you live in an ashram or in a secluded religious community *more on that* - the world here
is hitting us in the face all the time with bills, and house repairs and
car issues, family responsibilities....
so balance is 'forced ' on us. This world is "in our face"!
Lemme tellya, having lived just short of 6 years in a monastic order...your
brothers and sisters will drive you batty....so you have 'the world' there, ALSO!  
Even if I sat 6 hours in meditation...there is still dinner and people and a roommate and then, group spiritual 'rituals',
then breakfast...so the 'world of balance' is even there!
Oh, the trials and tribulations of dealing with personalities no matter where you are...
this is where growth occurs..Oy, lol.
linen53....loved it....'the young soul'...yes, all a process...stages...
Very wise. xo

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.
