Quote by Kabbalah

Every phase of evolution commences by being in a state of unstable force and proceeds through organization to equilibrium. Equilibrium having been achieved, no further development is possible without once more oversetting the A journey of a thousand miles starts in front of your feet. Whosoever acts spoils it. Whosoever keeps loses it.

Summary

This quote suggests that the process of evolution or change begins with a state of instability and undergoes organization until a state of equilibrium is reached. However, once equilibrium is attained, further development or progress can only occur by disrupting or overturning the existing equilibrium. The analogy of a journey of a thousand miles emphasizes the importance of taking action to initiate progress, but also warns against impulsive actions that may spoil or hinder the journey. At the same time, it cautions against complacency or inaction that may cause one to lose the opportunity for growth and development.
