How can one be total yet not extreme in all experiences?

Totality is not extremity; it is the balance found in the middle, where opposites dissolve into each other, birthing compassion from the choiceless awareness of love and hate.

— Osho
According to Osho, totality is not extremity but balance: it happens in the middle when you stop choosing between opposites and let them dissolve into each other. By remaining choiceless (neti-neti), love and hate cancel, birthing compassion. An undivided, nonsplit awareness acts wholly without leaning, so you are total yet never extreme.

Don’t pick sides inside—hold both feelings gently, stand in the calm middle, and your whole self can act kindly.
