The message about the necessity to strive to let go the hell of attachment via the ego, and realize that Whole of which we are an infinitesimal manifestation, comes in various forms. Here is one;
You live in illusions
and the appearance of things.
There is Reality,
you are that Reality.
When you recognize this
you will realize that you are no thing and being no thing are everything.
Kalu Rinpoche – 20thC Tibetan Buddhist p. 201 in the excellent Essential Spirituality by Roger Walsh
PS from RP – But for an educational, developmental perspective duality is as vital as achieving experience of singleness. The two are like a pair of scissors – not just for cutting into reality but to understand how we grow and develop.
We don’t so much come back to earth with a bump, we re-enter duality with a jolt so as to enable the impulse from oneness to take us a bit further.
We need duality as well as oneness just as we need form as well as spirit.
