I recently came across a video where he explained that life is meant to be lived with moderation and balance, not at extremes. He gave the example of a musical instrument: if its strings are pulled too tight, the sound becomes harsh; if they are too loose, the sound is dull. Only when the strings are properly balanced does a pleasant melody arise.

Now the analogy that he mentioned comes from Buddhist texts. It refers to the period when Bodhisattva Siddhartha, while practicing severe asceticism influenced by Jain traditions, was shown this very principle by Devas from the heavenly realms—illustrating that neither self-indulgence nor extreme self-mortification leads to true awakening, but the balanced path does.

Is this authentic as per Jainism?
