MADHYA*
MADHYA
So much to be said
For balance, for harmony
And the middle way
~~~~~ ~ ~~~~~
* Yogapedia explains Madhya
In the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, madhya used in the sense of it being “moderate” or “tempered” is advocated because Krishna warns that a medium approach without too much or too little work, food or practice is the best for long-term development. At the same time, too much mediocrity can slow progress and as such, it is recognized that at times more intensiveness can be helpful.
In Kashmir Shaivism, madhya can refer to Supreme Consciousness, the self or the heart. Here madhya can also be used interchangeably with sushumna nadi, the pathway through which kundalini energy rises. Meditations in this tradition may be described as “pathways to madhya.”

When this and that concur
And harmony is restored

When you make a mistake
then you say, “That’s not right.”
Then you say, “You’re not wrong.”
That’s how you stay balanced.

This point of balance,
Poised indeterminately,
Awaits the next breath.
