Duality Quote by Robert Wolfe
““Do not find any duality. The wise do not see “this” and “that,” they do not perceive the “relative”. Completely give up distinctions—the “world” of the relative is transcended by the wise. Free from the pairs of opposites (such as better-worse), the sage sees the same everywhere—his perception is nondual. Duality is the root of misery.””
