Remember that there can exist two opposite extremes. It’s all about finding the middle way so we know and understand the true nature of all these things.
Welcome back to The Smart Zen Podcast! Today, we learn how to embrace the two opposites so you can live your life fully. It becomes difficult if we see everything in rose-coloured glasses, and vice versa. Yumi Merricks advise that we should aim for balance within us so we can benefit from the oneness of our body, mind and soul. By taking the middle way, we ensure that we achieve success and happiness not just for us, but for the next generations. Start listening in to know more about these.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
One of the great teachings of Buddhism is that life can be difficult sometimes. Learn how to inculcate this in your mindset also, so you’re ready when you’re presented with obstacles.
There are always two sides to everything. There are successes, and there are failures. You can be happy, and you can be sad. It could be black, and it could be white.
There is an understanding of how your body, mind, and soul work if you are aware that there are also polar opposites that exist within you. It’s easier to behave appropriately if we know what can be capable of.
Aim for harmony and the right balance in the society and the universe. Think of what legacy will you leave behind to achieve and maintain this. Start with how you can share more knowledge, compassion, and love around you.
BEST MOMENTS
“We find it very hard to experience happiness without also experiencing the opposite.”
“The universe is made up of two opposing elements: light and dark, good and evil, etc.”
“Denying that one side of you keeps you on the edge. If you can’t accept that there is a side of you that can be horrible, you are a danger to society.”
“Being at peace with oneself comes from accepting yourself as a whole, and therefore being in the place to accept others.”
