You see a wrinkled shirt. What happens to the wrinkles when you iron the shirt? You see an ocean with waves. What happens to the waves when the day is nice and calm and the ocean looks like a lake? Where do the waves go? It is the same in our lives. We have a life full of dualities. The dualities are the waves. When we go within into calmness, what happens to the dualities? The difference is this: When we look at the shirt and just see the cloth, there are no wrinkles. The wrinkles are an illusion. The ocean is made of water. There are no waves. Similarly, when you see life as just life itself, then there are no waves of dualities. It is just life. It is when we do not realize the truth, we see the ripples in our lives. — Satish Daryanani
