symmetry means lesser energy.

if a system has lesser energy then it is more stable.

like in the filling up of electrons in the subshells, symmetry is having exactly half filled or fully filled subshells.

 
mathematics is the food of my soul.

yes , this is bcoz. while symmetrically filling the atoms / groups around a central atom/ion , the energy is lowered much more in com parison to asymmetrical distribution
