In this podcast, we look at how a concept of logic known as the Unity of Opposites can empower us to see the truth within us all. Host, Jeffrey Besecker explores this topic today with author, and wise sage, Troy Hadeed.

In Sanskrit, the word Samhita literally means “put together;  to join; union.”

Yet, as humans, we often struggle to put things together. Nowhere is this more true than within our concepts surrounding truth.

All of us have heard the old saying that every story has three sides, yours, mine, and the truth. Despite this, the truth is fluid, ever-changing, and constantly evolving. 

In our daily lives, we often encounter situations where opposing perspectives or contradictory information are valid in different contexts or from different points of view.

We humans, therefore, may not always see things eye-to-eye. 

Both things can be true, as we often find. 

And in this struggle, we sometimes neglect to find a common ground, and to get our collective shit together.

However, in this basic Vedic mantra, we find a hymn, that becomes our only hope or prayer for truth. It is the union of our opposites - we discover the ultimate truth.

We join author, yoga teacher, and wise Vedic sage, Troy Hadeed to reflect on this one key objective, putting our differences aside, and to simply love one another - to find the unity of opposites.
