From Duality to Neutrality

Ever wondered at how the absence of one thing means
The presence of another?

Consider Truth, for example
The absence of which, identifies
The presence of a Fallacy
Just as the absence of Life ascertains
The presence of Death

Boolean values, you call them, don’t you?
Which constitute the very foundation
Of this Information Age
Digital signals, magnetic and optical storage
What have you!

Think of a Day
Whose Death itself
Gives Birth to a Night
The End of which in turn
Marks the Beginning of yet another day
This phenomenon of oscillation
That drives the universe…

Yet, existence and non-existence
Are not distinct entities
There has to be an interface that binds them
So that they don’t face each other, or get interwoven

Neutrality, I call it

As long as we “feel”
We remain part of the oscillatory wave
Vibrating between the two extremes
At our own frequencies

I perceive these, as anxiety and pleasure
Our velocity is what keeps us in motion

Ironically, during oscillation
We pass through this state of being neutral
But only momentarily

If you notice, that’s the moment
When we experience freedom
From both, joy, as well as grief

The key lies in reducing our velocity
And gradually, we’ll settle down
To this median of Neutrality

…The result of Nirvana
Derived from the Principle of Duality
