divided into lakhs and crores of miseries. Man is an enemy of man, tiger, leopard etc. mosquito, bed bug, other insects etc. Some are friendly with some and some are enemies with some. Water is the enemy of fire, bitterness is the enemy of sweet, shadow of sun, disease is enemy of health and the pleasure is that they live together. They are never apart for a moment and get their work done at every opportunity. Where there is lotus in water, there are flight of birds also, thorns along with flowers. Poisonous insects are inside the petals of rose. Unhappiness is with happiness. Therefore this world is called the creation of duality. This is a mixture of contrary powers. In this planned and composite creation unity between contrary forces is inevitable. There is Prakriti along with Purusha. Creation certainly will be of other type.

People sitting near by were surprised; no body is able to understand and no body can solve it but every body is observing the result; reason is not known. The reason of all this is heart.
A strong heart is needed to keep an eye on the boundless waves of the sea. Who will set to cross without a heart as capable as a river.
An ocean without a shore was in spate. Huge waves as if talking to the sky, rise in it. Ebb and tide come in it and onlookers feel fear. Waves of Vrittis are rising in the mind, some times pleasant some times unpleasant. When a
