Question: If I have to make a decision and there are two options, my thoughts don’t bring me any further. Then I try to listen to my heart, and that also does not bring me any answer. So, how can I find a way to the solution?
Acharya Prashant: If there are two options, if there are two paths, then do not choose any of them. When there would be a right path, then there would be only one path. The right path never comes as alternative to something existing. The alternative to that which is existing, would always be related to that which is existing. In some sense, it would be an opposite of that which is existing.
A thing and its opposite are always in the same dimension, in the same plane. Never say, “I have to choose between A and B.” A and B are both in the same plane. If one side of the coin is not good for you, the other side too will not be good for you. Because with the other side will come the first side as well.
If a thing is not proper for you, mind you, its opposite too cannot be proper for you. Shun both the options.
This is the fundamental law of duality.
The two sides of duality, appear as opposites, but are always together. So, if you choose either one, you have also chosen the other one. Do not choose any of the ends, do not say ‘yes’ to any of these options.
