What is the relationship between enlightenment and dualities in the context of wars and politics?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Enlightenment transcends all dualities, where even war cannot disturb your inner peace; until then, choose wisely, for discrimination is the provisional path to the choiceless awareness that renders choice unnecessary."
According to Osho, enlightenment ends all dualities and choice: in choiceless awareness, even war or political upheaval cannot disturb one's peace, and notions of good/bad dissolve. Yet until that awakening, you must consciously choose—oppose war, favor truth over superstition, right over wrong—as a provisional 'stick' to walk by. Use wise discrimination now, aiming for the seeing that renders choice unnecessary.
Until you're fully awake, pick peace and truth like using a walking stick; when awake, you just see the path and walk without choosing sides.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you act ethically in turbulent times without losing inner balance.
- Encourages choosing peace and truth now while cultivating awareness that transcends conflict.
- Prevents paralysis or cynicism by framing choices as temporary tools on the path.
