Non Violence

judge people, places and things. In doing so, one takes sides with either the right side or the wrong side. “‘Non-duality’ (Sanskrit word ‘Advaita’), simply means ‘not two’ and points to the essential oneness (despite the compelling appearance of separation and diversity, wholeness, completeness and unity of life), one reality, which exists here and now. Oneness is all there is – and we are included.”  It points to an intimacy, a love beyond words, right at the heart of present moment experience.

In reality, dualism is illusion and there is only one world, one people, one creation, one choice. But humanity, being collective, has split the quality and value of people's choices into their choices. This split is “duality consciousness” when really there is simply “non duality”. It must be understood and accepted that all citizens of Earth (and other creatures and matter) are one. It should be understood that one’s good or bad act vibrate in cosmos and affect all equally. It also means perpetuating violence against other is illusion and is ultimately violence against self. It is just like teeth cutting own tongue. Thus moving from duality to nonjudgmental, unity consciousness, will save energy, time and create world peace as there is no conflict and violence.

As a rational student of science one might be skeptical about all that is stated above. But, interpreting this in context of “Quantum Field Theory” and “String theory” in Physics which, in simple words, states that we all, including matter, are not separate particles as considered in classical Newtonian Physics. It is all a part of big wave and governed by single force.  So is any vibration, sorrow or happiness at one place spread all through; all are not separate but only manifestation of one and connected to other. Ultimately there is no other to inflict violence upon.
