UNDERSTANDING DUALITY

We cannot experience Sukkha (happiness) for eternity or continuously from our external implements but we can train our mind, intellect, prana, chitta and ego in such a way that we can experience happiness. We can think in such a way that this arrangement is designed for duality. Light and darkness are together. Happiness and Dukkha (misery) are also together. There is darkness in light and happiness in misery. This happiness and misery will remain as long as there is such duality. So, when you experience Dukkha, if you bear it with mental harassment and disgust, the time period gets to be stretched and there is reduction in the capacity to bear misery. We should thoughtfully find the key to live life in such a way that  we bear the misery with affection. The reason being, misery, conflicts, friction, problems etc., are going to be present in our lives and it is not going to go away on its own. It will be there and will present itself. When Dukkha is expressed in our lives, may we develop patience to think about it with steady intellect, with peace and with happiness.
