Balance is a stasis of sorts, however, as it implies an equality of amounts. I agree that a perfect balance is difficult to achieve, but what I mean by my above explaination is that balance can provide the stability required for numerous actions and perceptions, but balance is a part, a starting point, or a controlling factor, and not a total achievement. Balance is required for a person to stand up, but it is tipping that balance forward that one begins to walk forward. It is motion (read: change) that allows us to continually "fall" forward as we walk, and balance keeps us from falling on our faces. Balance alone is nice, but not enough.

Balance allows you a point of reference. When you sense that things are the same, then you know a definite point from which you can judge a differentiation as things change or the balance is altered. You can say, "This is more than it was when they were the same, and this is less." be that more or less a distance, a volume, a speed, an emotion, etc.

By finding one's balance, you gain control, as at that point, you can then make a decision as to what amount you want to vary that balance. You can introduce a defined amount of "chaos" into the order, and thereby upset the balance at your will, either to observe, or to achieve a desired condition.

Balance. It's what's for dinner.
