Contradictions

Our holy teachers taught us that contradictions are not good. We should avoid contradictions. Contrarily, I find contradictions very beautiful when analyzed carefully. Often contradictions turns out to be complementary. First of all, what is required is a clear mind free from illusions which just see the reality as it is. But how do you know what is an illusion and what is not an illusion? Now this is a million $ question. There are two separate distinct school of thoughts at this point. The thought of eastern civilization originated mostly from India - "This is unreal, that is real." And the thought of west - "This is real, that is unreal." This is where east and west contradictions in proposing the reality.

I feel that these school of thought should be merged to - "This is real, that is real" - Even unreal is real. We cannot simply deny the unreal. Since unreal is the part of this very existence, it should be merged to real. So, everything is real as far as understanding is concerned. Then east and west are in consensus at this point - the convergence of reality.

Now coming to practical aspect of my life. I have not cared for good and bad. I simply live experimentally. Experience can be good and bad with which I am not concerned. But, I am concerned with the experience. I simply don't believe in just living a consistent "so called" good life. I hate the word - "consistent". Really really hate this word - consistent. But if it happens on it's own, naturally, it's okay. Then it's perfectly okay. Anything which happens naturally, be it consistent, inconsistent, good, bad, is good. However, the life in general remains mysterious and inconsistent. As a student I have received, both good and bad feedback. One teacher told me you are a very intelligent student. Never seen an intelligent hard working like you. The other teacher told me you are a fool. The deviation of complements received in my life varies too much. Even in professional life I received both very good performer and then average performer. Have you ever think on "average". This is such a beautiful word. I will write about average sometime later. Meanwhile keep thinking on - "law of average" :)

Contradiction

We think that contradiction is a bad word. And we always tries to avoid it. But no. I do not consider "contradiction" as a bad word. Contradiction is also a part of totality. Sometimes, it does appears to be contradictory to intellect. But the more you go deeper into that contradiction you will find them as complementary reality. At root level of existence contradictions are complimentary. If one disappears others also disappears. For example - there cannot be a positive number if there is no negative number, god and bad contradicts - but good cannot exit without bad. If there was no Adolf Hitler forget about Stalin, if there was no British rule in India then forget about Mahatma Gandhi. Contradiction is just a part of totality. Some people do not like contradiction. They always like to be consistent through out their life. But they miss the totality. The great is one who is beyond consistency and contradictions. They walk on the cutting edge. Neither this side nor that side - in between. Those who are consistent, they are bounded to be consistent. Life of consistency is like - "कोल्हु का बैल". Contradiction is the matter of intellect. It's not the reality. If you meditate on contradiction it will disappear. Only pure existence will remain. When the Universe started that time there was nothing, no contradictions, so how can contradiction exist now? Because universe at the root level is still same as it was when it started. That doesn't change. As the consciousness manifest grosser more and more contradictions arise. But they keep on compensating other aspect i.e. consistency. A wise man will see contradiction and consistency as a floating reality over the non-changing substratum of the universe. It's like this - Say a disk is moving in a pure circular motion. Everything moves except the center of the disc. Everything cannot move. One thing has to be immovable in some absolute reference frame. Everything moves around that. It's impossible to have a perfect circle with no center. I am excluding Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This is the most stupid principle the world has ever seen. Heisenberg uncertainty principle is nothing but human inability. A day will surely come when Heisenberg uncertainty principle will be discarded. Also stated by Einstein.

So friends, love to accept contradictions :)
