Patient is virtue.

Silence is peace.

Honestly is power.

Responsibility is strength.

Problem is when we think they are not the same.

We often are told of stories to build morale from our childhood till date, maybe someone from our family, a good teacher, a book or a movie. But have we ever looked upon the moral of the stories and wondered of the dual nature of the stories or the duality in each moral attribute? Each moralistic characteristic is always attached to the desired outcome or a fruit. That is where all the gravity of the story is lost. The messages get adulterated and the confusion sticks and there is no moral taken from the story. It ends up being a nice story to be passed on to someone else. We take the story and the moral is left behind.

If for instance, I am sure everyone would have heard or told of “Patient is virtue”. There is patient and there is the virtue. That is duality. Duality makes us think virtue is an outcome of being patient. Being virtuous sounds good but being patient, not that cool ah.

Another example, “silence is peace”. You guessed it right, we all need peace. But have we ever invested in the silence part? Most parts not. And caught up in this dual nature, we are neither peaceful not silent. We feel entitled to peace and reject the efforts to be at that state. Take “morality is good” for that matter, we all like to feel good but morality? oh please! We desire consequences without taking required actions or the process to get to the consequence. So the desired consequence will always be a distant dream.

Not just a statement or any sentence but even a single standalone word has a dual nature. Can you really understand “good” without “bad”? Can you really understand “right” without “wrong”? Human perception is such that it cannot understand the singular without dual. In that state, we just cannot accept things as they are.

Who can we blame here for all the nonsense stories not really making an impact? The story, the storyteller or ourselves? I can bet a good blame on the language. Language is the first place of bias. But, that is a different topic. Here we are talking about something even more abstract.

So none indeed. The story and the moral is true, the storyteller’s intentions are honest and we are humans.

Now how do we fix this so that the message is perceived and is put to implementation?

The answer is abstraction.

We need to enhance our perception to the level of abstraction from where it is all singular. Now, what heck does that even mean?

All it means is try to abstract up from the message or even a word instead of dissecting it. See things as is, instead of from the view of your stories built in your mind. Abstraction gives you the perception of seeing things as they are, all you need to do is keep abstracting till you get to a state of singularity from the initial state of duality.

Duality is the natural state. Duality is the state of confusion and hence inaction. Singularity is the state to be. The as is. Singularity is clarity and hence undoubted action.

Is this as simple as that? All I can say is, so far only Lord Siva is at that state of singularity. I will let you make that judgment. After all, it will be your perception.

Be Siva. The purest form of abstraction and the only singularity.

In the same way, most of the life duality can be answered by abstraction. Try this and let me know how it worked for you.

This is just a try and I would like to know from you of what do you think. Please write in with your comments.
