The sun comes out, exposing the duality for us every day.
The night falls, turning all the dualities into a non-dual state of darkness.
Whether it is a million-dollar Picasso painting, a Kohinoor Diamond, or a begging bowl of a beggar, they all get equalized in the darkness of the night.
Day divides, night assimilates.
Awareness is the light that plays in the dual world, but the inner silence ( Shunyata) is where all dualities become homogenized, and “no-thing” remains.
The cycle of days with their dualities and nights with their homogenized non-duality are well balanced in our lives.
Similarly, obvious duality and the non-dual state of Samadhi are well balanced in the life of a samadhist.
But when we want one and not the other, when we chase and choose, this delicate harmony gets disturbed. 
It is a result of the mind’s ignorance.
In no-mindness, total acceptance happens, and the harmony of Samadhi surfaces.
When we stop trying to change the world, when we see things without our projections, when we stop labeling people or emotions arising within, we rise above the world of names and forms, and an amazing peace prevails in life.
The whole life becomes a gigantic happening, an enigmatic magic, where “I” is no longer needed.
Life can’t be figured out, but can definitely be lived, sip by sip, moment by moment.
