There is no possibility of ever having pleasure without pain, good

without evil, for living itself is just the lost equilibrium. What we

want is freedom, not life, nor pleasure, nor good. Creation is infinite,

without beginning and without end, the ever moving ripple in an infinite

lake. There are yet unreached depths and others where the equilibrium

has been regain, but the ripple is always progressing, the struggle to

regain the lost balance is eternal. Life and death are only different

names for the same fact, the two sides of the coin. Both are maya, the

inexplicable state of striving at one time to live, and a moment later

to die. Beyond this is the true nature, the Atman. While we recognize a

God, it is really only the Self, from which we have separated ourselves

and worship as outside of us; but it is our true Self all the time, the

one and only God.
