shops. You cannot have the words ‘dwaita’ or ‘adwaita’ on
their own anywhere. People do not even understand the
meaning of these words and yet they have opened ‘shops’ under
these headings. As long as there is a body, the pure Soul is
dwaitadwaita. No one can become only adwaita. Adwaita is a
vikalp and its existence is based upon dwaita. The vitarag Lords
were marvelous beings. To quarrel and argue with others, in
order to protect adwaita when one is immersed in the ocean of
adwaita, is in itself dualism. To enter into a debate for the
protection of adwaita, is itself dwaita.
The Lord considers adwaita to be a ‘widower’ and
dwaita to be ‘married’. The Lord is dwaitadwaita. You will find
a solution only when you become dwandvatita (beyond all
dualities). The process of the worldly life will not leave anyone
alone. It gave a very hard time to the Pandavs. Sitaji, Lord
Rama’s wife was abducted even when they were living in the
forest. That is how this world is.
Vitarags say, “This is Chandulal and he is also not
Chandulal.” There is existence and there is nonexistence – it is
and it is not! He is Chandulal if he is not Self-realized, and he
is not Chandulal if he is Self-realized.
The world is ekantik (one track minded); people in it
decide on something and stick to their view points. Gnani Purush
is anekantik, not partial to any viewpoint, hence accepts all view
points, and thus stands out amongst all in the world.
A poison does not have just one quality or attribute and
neither does nectar. They have dual qualities; therefore one
should not say only one thing about anyone. One should not say,
“This doctor is bad” or “All doctors are good.” One should be
aware that things differ from different perspectives. There are
also many good qualities to ‘poisons’; if taken within certain
limits they can also cure diseases and if taken beyond that limit
they can kill.
