Quote
We can't see any object fully at once. When we see it from front side, the back side remains unseen and vice versa. One side always remains unseen to us at any given time.Every story also has two sides, be it your family drama or news stories served by media. Try to see both sides if you want the divine power of oneness on your side.

Quote
When we are telling something about others, we are telling a lot about ourselves too. "The Sun rises and sets each day." This sounds like a statement about the Sun. But it is actually a statement about us, about our planet. It tells that we and our planet is moving, not the Sun.

If you have got used to living life of a king, it would seem ordinary to you. Plus you will get nightmares at the thought of losing it all. If you are used to nothing, even food on your plate and roof on your head will seem like heaven. Everything is relative.

Movies, travel, restaurant etc are pleasure for you because they help you escape your routine life. Imagine the pain of people who have so much money that all this has become routine and unexciting for them. Addiction is the only thing left for them to escape the routine... addiction to money, sex, political power and substances .

Suppose a Sun many times brighter than our Sun comes up in the sky. After we get used to its light, it goes away. Then our Sun will feel like moon to us and what we call as “light” will seem like darkness. So light and darkness are relative terms. Darkness is just less light.

Suppose a person has been having constant headache since he was born. He doesn't know what it feels to not have a headache.For him, headache won't feel like headache. It would feel like a sensation very much like sensation of heart beating in the chest. You can not experience pain if you haven't experienced lack of pain.
