When everything is dual like day night hot cold matter energy need definitions for NON-DUALISM?

Question

DWAITHAM OR ADWAITHAM Which is ultimate?

Answer 1

You perception that everything is dual is false. Many of the things that are called dual are just asserting being there and being not-there.

Take heat. This is scientifically understood to be motion of molecules. You may increase or decrease molecular motion, but the motion is still there. Thus there is heat, but no opposite. Cold - if anything - is the opposite of warm in describing which direction the heat is moving. Heat itself just is or is not.

Likewise with matter. Your definition of matter is likely an arbitrary line on the energy spectrum. Any particular photon, if made energetic enough, behaves like - AND IS - matter. This is the core of Einstein's e=mc^2 thing. There is no matter and energy... just one thing. If you felt like it, you could draw your arbitary line anywhere...

And before you suggest that existance and non-existance is a dualism, I would beg you to describe how a not-hamster is different from a not-aardvark. Nonexistance isn't a thing. You can't fill a bucket with nonexistance. The experience of something not being is only in your mind, and likely not even there most of the time (unless you're really obsessed with aardvarks).

So most of so-called dualism is just drawing arbitrary lines and saying that there's two of something. One might just as well draw a hundred lines and say that there's a hundred of everything. Either one is a fiction.

Answer 2

Dualism is like an analysis of a comparable relationship that can be broken down into specifics. I would say that these specifics would have to be non-dualistic, because they have intervals for more accurate description.

For a mathematical metaphor, a scale of 1 to 10: 1-5 = hot; 6-10 = cold, instead of 1=hot; 10=cold (actually the more logical relationship would be 1:2). The (-) indicates the inclusion of the intervals between "1 and 5" and "6 and 10".

However, the interval descriptions do not necessarily have to be between the parent descriptions (1 and 10), but "among" them. For instance, if the parent descriptions are indistinct ones (hot and cold), then the domain of intervals may go beyond the range of the parents. "Very hot" does not fall between Hot and Cold; it extends beyond the left end of the spectrum. But since Very Hot is a more accurate description than just Hot, it qualifies as an interval "among" the descriptions. Bottom line: the words hot and cold are not definite boundaries of an opposing spectrum.

Answer 3

My answer is based on the very limited knowledge that i have...

The e.g. you quoted above as dual is not dual at all... Night is nothing but absence of light. Cold is nothing but absence of heat. They are actually not opposites. When a person reaches the state of ultimate self realization, one feels that s/he is nothing but the whole universe. There is no more two entities. Because s/he cannot differentiate him/her with what the other people perceives as different entitites. It is the range from which the person feels away from the self realization state makes them feel about the existance of different entities. when the range between you and the entity that you perceived is zero, you are nothing but that entity itself.

Regarding dwaitham or adwaitham, i can give you simple analogy. You can take answer from that. If you and god where happen to live in the same house, which one of the following sentence you would like to make.
1. I want you to be inside me and make me feel that you are there in each and every cell of mine. (Adwaitham)
2.Always i want to live in your shadow (Visishtad dwaitham)
3. Always i want to live closer to you (Dwaitham)

Answer 4

adwaitham is the ultimate. everything is of , by and from only one brahman which is the fact. with one electricity, we get light, heater, air conditioner etc., etc., eventhough electricity is one. so dwaitham is like a mirage seen on the road on a sunny day, when in reality there is no water. adwaitham is a knowledge which has to be understood. sun is always there. because earth is rotating the day and night is seen. still we all say sun rise and sun set when it does not rise nor set. so dwaitham which is visible to the eyes and felt by sense organs are like mirage even though one can feel the pain and pleasure , in reality it is the mental attitude of the person to feel both in different degrees and there are human beings for whom both are equal.

Answer 5

Whoa! Day is a period of time when there is light. Light is energy. Night is a period of time when there is no light. I never turn on the dark switch, I simply resist the light. If what you call dualism fits that description, then I am mistaken in my interpretation.

Answer 6

Hot and cold are not dualities they are continuum's. IE there is a range of temperatures from hot to cold. The same is true of many things that are said to be dualistic.

Indeed, one of the problems for many people is to see things as opposites where in face they are continuum's or compliments.

Answer 7

very sturdy question. it somewhat is an occasion of "Preaching something and doing the different". i think of, Sankara replaced into interior the Hindu faith in his previously degree and hence wrote stotras as you stated. On a latter degree, he realised the actuality and gave up his non secular outlook and started thinking rational. it somewhat is provided in each and every philosophers. Non-dualism is a fabricated from his rational suggestions.

Answer 8

There is no dual things.It seems like that.Truly it is a chain.End to end.Top to bottom,good to bad,high to low likewise up to yes to no.

Answer 9

Adwaitham is ultimate.

Answer 10

Neither. Nothing on this side of an event horizon lingers forever.
