| dualistic aspects and against the other. Such a fight makes transcendence impossible. Let me demonstrate this in | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| in illusion, conflict, and confusion. The more you fight this way, the greater the confusion becomes. Human | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |

| the more weapons you use to win the fight, the deeper your difficulties, until you actually damage | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| appeasement robs you of self- respect and you fight against that. Whether you use this solution or | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| it is a total wrong, or continuing the fight. Admitting a wrong means death, in a sense | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| you find death, loss, annihilation. The harder you fight for and against, the less there is to | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| for and against, the less there is to fight for and the more all alternatives turn against | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| importance of observing your soul movements. When you fight against one dualistic aspect and press for the | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| of consciousness so difficult, for giving up this fight against the other appears to imply self-annihilation. The | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| other appears to imply self-annihilation. The more you fight others, the less they will comply with your | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| as a danger equal to giving up the fight itself. So every way you turn seems to | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| symbolic representation of your inner quarrel where you fight for life against death, for existence against annihilation | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| happiness, freedom, and mastery over life. When you fight for this birthright according to dualistic principles, you | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
