Human life is replete with all dualities. Good, bad; pleasure, pain; piety, sin; strong, feeble; gentle, wicked; rich, poor; happiness, sorrow; heat, cold; light, dark; dynamic, static; active, dull; to mention only a few dimensions.The tendencies in one's life are to acquire bad things easily when compared to good ones. Destruction and devastation can occur within no time but to build a thing, it takes concerted effort, money and time. To be spoiled by bad company is matter of minutes but to become gentle by courting only the company of noble persons is difficult to realise even in months and years. Uphill hours, downhill minutes. In general, to acquire good things it requires much devotion and effort. Even in the case of one's becoming aware of the Supreme Knowledge by turning inwards, grace of the Almighty is essential.
Human nature of tendencies is explained in grass root level simplicity, in the sankeerana of Pedatirumalayya, "Papamu Cheruva Pranuniki"........
'Sin seems to be within reach of the being, but where is 'piety'? Why it is not nearer to the beings?
'Emotion of anger triggers very fast within us. But 'peace' is not to be found anywhere nearby. Unbridled desires and aspirations are looming large within our mind. But the sense of 'detachment' is not to be sighted anywhere nearby.
'Looks of passion and lust are in my own sight. but where is the sight of 'Spiritual Wisdom'? My tongue utters in the vein of timid and pitiful condition. But it doesn't know what is being 'bold, brave and chivalrous'. What a pity?
'Lo! My body is ridden with ignoble and impious deeds. But I am not able to find anywhere nearby, the 'righteous deeds' behoved of me to perform. However, despite all the above mentioned perplexities of life undergone by me, I am happy to assert that I am being blessed with fulfilling the purpose of this life by the grace of the Almighty' !.....
We are all of normal intelligence which accepts the fact that 'to err is human'. And our wisdom lies in the act of realising the way of disentanglement from the avoidable tendencies in the dualities detailed above and treading the path of enlightenment in the company of the spiritual nobility!
