The balanced state, called samadhi by the Buddhists, is not the result of effort without aim, called shikantaza in Japanese.
The balanced state of samadhi is the way that effort without aim is expressed, It is the journey, not the destination.
The samadhi of shikantaza is the journey. The destination is your life-and-death. In other words, we engage in practice in order to fully experience life-and-death, we do not live-and-die in order to engage in practice.
