True balance

Nature is always in balance. It self-regulates according to divine will. 

Balance exists among animals, divinely regulated. The same holds for plant kingdom. Something strange happened to humans, though. Despite having greater abilities & potential, they started diverging from God, causing disbalance in plant kingdom animal kingdom and within themselves. 

Hard to say when divergence started happening and how it will end. In any case, events will be guided by God. Goal for every human should be to find balance between current chaotic self and the divine spark within. This is the only way.

Yet, people are not concerned with this, their concerns are elsewhere: they seek balance in relationships, finances, health...

Of course, all this needs to happen, but this should not be top priority. First priority should be to reconnect with the divine. Given such connection, everything else will follow.
E.g., you cannot attain health only by balancing nutrition, eating supplements, taking diets, and surgical intrusions. All these lead to suffering, and without connection with god this will be fruitless, and energy will be expended in vain. 

The same pertains to family and relationships. One cannot find happiness by visiting psychotherapists or taking pills - same idea.
This is not news. All religions appeal to the same thing: reach out to God! That is precisely why religions do not emphasize mundane matters, health, etc. because highest priority should be to attain God.
People do not understand this, however, they take the long way, through many detours, such as through medicine in its present form, psychotherapy, etc. 

Then special beings appeared on earth, and they tried to help people become healthy and to have good relationships while maintaining bond with God. This gave rise to oriental religions. However, many took them as heresy and rejected them. 

And only nowadays did convergence with this approach begin to happen. Still, many people still lack an objective aligned with the divine, and they employ only social handling of problems. All social methods can help only if people are tuned to the divine. In that case, God will provide methods to deal with any issue. No matter which method is chosen, however, it will not provide balance by itself. It will only provide a temporary relief, and disbalance will shift elsewhere. Such process will continue as long as people do not pursue both.
