The Dance Of The Opposites Poem by Amrit Rathi
The Dance Of The Opposites
Between the storms of sorrows
and rains of happiness,
you stand like a mountain rock;
savor both of them with equanimity;
do not cling to one or the other.
That’s the essence, that’s the key.
Between the glistening tides of success
and slipping ebbs of failure,
you stand like a deep, calm sea;
contain both of them with equanimity;
do not cling to one or the other.
That’s the essence, that’s the key.
Between the sunshine of hope
and the darkness of despair,
you stand like a day well aware;
fill both of them with equanimity;
do not cling to one or the other.
That’s the essence, that’s the key.
Between a freshening friendship
and throbs of enmity,
you light a candle of Loving Kindness;
win the hearts of both with equanimity;
do not cling to one or the other.
That’s the essence, that’s the key.
Between the glitter of riches
and shackles of poverty,
you open your contented heart;
enjoy both with equanimity;
do not cling to one or the other.
That’s the essence, that’s the key.
Between the rush of anger
and a glimpse of quietness,
you witness your alert awareness;
sense both with equanimity;
do not cling to one or the other.
That’s the essence, that’s the key.
Between the high notes of music
and the lower, whispering tones,
the dance of opposites shines,
creating melodious, musical harmony;
do not cling to one or the other.
That’s the essence, that’s the key.

Excellent work of art filled with metaphors. The younger generation of today particularly have certainly a lot to learn from it. Please keep illuminating our dark world with your torch of wisdom. A 10+ again, no doubt. Savoring both of them with equanimity, But not clinging to one or the other. Very impressive and a nice interpretation of the Bhagvad Gita.

the last part is really a summary and says it all very well expressed cheers Between the high notes of music and the lower, whispering tones, the dance of opposites shines, creating melodious, musical harmony; do not cling to one or the other. That’s the essence, that’s the key.
