I think what he’s trying to say in this passage, like all the other readings this week, is that there needs to be complete equality. Everything has its opposite but one can’t exist without the other. If we never went through any pain or suffering, then we would have no idea how happiness could really feel.
“Those who divide fail to divide.” If you try to find the difference between everything, you won’t find anything. For example: trying to find the difference between hot and cold. You can’t find hot without the cold. Sooner or later, you will experience the cold that comes with the hot. Like a hot shower, it’s nice and hot but as soon as the shower ends, you experience the cold. If you’re always trying to differentiate everything then you’ll only make your life more complicated. Just take things for what they are.
“There is a beginning. There is a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be a beginning.” I think what he’s trying to say in a different way is that there is a now. Then there must have been a before. And there must have been a before to the before the now. There is no end to the forward or the past so why focus on anything other than the present.
