Mix
the contradictions. Make a paste. Mix the duality. Grind it well. And you get
nothing in the so called ‘everything’. Is there any hard and fast line between
the so called two ends of our perception? Is ‘black’ only ‘black’? Is ‘white’
only ‘white’? No. They seep into each other and define each other, apparently,
relatively. Dark is not just ‘dark’. And light is not just ‘light’. Dark is
only ‘less light’. And light is just ‘less dark’. Duality sustains on our sense
of ‘ego’. It turns our consciousness into self-consciousness. Is there any
pure, unadulterated ‘pleasure’? No. Pleasure is a state of having lesser pain.
Pleasure has a mild dose of pain in it. Always. Find out a person who has no
trace of pain in him. Is there any condition of just having ‘pain’? No. Pain is
just having lesser degree of ‘pleasure’. Pleasure carries pain in it, and pain
carries pleasure in it. Our ego stretches the point of reality in two
directions for suitable duality, of contradictions. Imagine ‘twilight’ when day’s
rising light mixes with the night’s vanishing darkness. The balance. The
melting of duality. Is there any state of something being perfectly ‘cold’ or
perfectly ‘hot’? No. Cold is just lesser hot. And hot is just lesser cold. The reality
just gives the illusion of apparently getting stretched in opposite directions.
It’s the see-saw battle. We look this way, then we turn to the other side. By
subduing the element of ‘self’ from ‘consciousness’ one can get a balanced
vision. Then the funny mirage of seeing two avatars of the same thing becomes
visible. The two things are inseparable, and are just our conveniently defined
two points on the plain of reality. Death is not just death in itself. It is
the beginning of life, of birth. Birth is not just birth. It is the beginning
of death. Same is the apparent duality of creation and destruction. They don’t
exist separately. For an event and happening to occur, there has to be a
balance between the two. Like human body survives on the principle of the
balance between creation and destruction. New cells are continuously being
created and old ones are dying. The circle. It holds the key to the mystery.
The reality has loops of the so called dualities going side by side, at all
points, at all points. The counterweights. The balance. Going on and on in
loops. The ever-expanding universe and the ever-dying universe. In loops. In
circles. At countless points. Forever. Explosions and implosions. Blasts and
suction. Circular loops. Creation and destruction. Creation and destruction. On
and on. In circles. Expansion and suction. Going from nowhere to nowhere. And passing
through the point where you happen to read it presently.

About Me
- Sufi
- Hi, this is somebody who has taken the quieter by-lane to be happy. The hustle and bustle of the big, booming main street was too intimidating. Passing through the quieter by-lane I intend to reach a solitary path, laid out just for me, to reach my destiny, to be happy primarily, and enjoy the fruits of being happy. (www.sandeepdahiya.com)
