The Beauty of Duality

The most beautiful opportunity of being human is to be able to be in duality.
Duality is the inherent paradox existing in life. For example, I might be unable to grasp what tall means, if there is no short to define it. If there is no dark, light is not comprehensible. Good-bad, Right-wrong, beautiful-ugly, love-hate, free will- surrender...there are so many such examples of duality in our every day life.
The beauty of being human is an opportunity to experience the delicious pull of this duality, and be in a state of peace, flowing with life.
Dr. Wayne Dyer says - "Effort is one piece of the whole; another piece is non-effort. Fuse these dichotomies, and the result is effortless action without attachment to outcome. This is precisely how you dance with someone:You make an attempt, assume a position, listen to the music, and let go all at the same time, allowing yourself to easily move with your partner."
Similarly meeting a beautiful and attractive person is sometimes a enticing duality of amorous attraction and platonic congeniality.
The duality of free will, and at the same time having the surrender and faith on that invisible power that things fall in place as per the bigger design, makes ones existence a lot meaningful.
Feeling that deep attachment, being aware the subject of attachment is ephemeral, adds intense richness to the relationship.
Knowing that one is absolutely unique and special, and at the same time being part of the whole, creates greater awareness and harmony.
Being in love with the favorite deity, and at the same time being aware that God is formless, omnipresent and at source of everything manifested, is an interesting awareness.
The duality of growing old and weak, but at the same time being at prime of ones existence and understanding of life, is interesting.
The duality of the certainly of the will, and the randomness of reality is eye opening.

The unnecessity of identifying  with one particular notion - one way of being is pretty apparent. Rather it adds lot be beauty in life being in fusion with the paradoxes thrown by our existence, and dance with the rhythm of life.
