Spiritual balance is not something that is really achieved through self-effort. Spiritual balance occurs largely through being yourself.

To be yourself is a most difficult process for most persons, because they really have no idea who or what they are. To determine who and what you are, you have to gain a sense of who and what you are not. By subtracting who and what you are not from everything else in existence and non-existence and beyond both, you will definitely discover who and what you are.
