About Me
"The opposite of every truth is equally true! To wit: a truth only allows itself to be expressed and wrapped in words when it is unilateral. Everything that can be thought with thoughts and said with words is unilateral, everything one-sided, a moiety, everything lacks wholeness, roundness, unity. When the exalted Gautama, having spoke of the world, he had to divide it into Samsara and nirvana, into illusion and truth, into suffering and release. One can do nothing else, there is no other way for the one who wants to teach. But the world itself, that which exists around us and inside us, is never unilateral. Never is a man or a deed wholly Samsara or wholly nirvana, never is a person entirely saintly or entirely sinful. It only seems so, because we are subject to the illusion that time is something real. Time is not real, Govinda, I have experienced this often, very often. And if time is not real, then the span that seems to lie between world and eternity, between suffering and bliss, between evil and good, also is an illusion"
