There are opposites, but no opposition.

To divide and particularize is in the mind's very nature. There is no harm in dividing. But separation goes against fact. Things and people are different, but they are not separate. Nature is one, reality is one. There are opposites, but no opposition.

~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

You know, intellectually I can read and understand the words above, but I don't think I really understand the whole concept of 'different but not separate'. I fool myself (and others) sometimes with pretending to understand this, but I really don't. I suppose in time, with more practice, I will come to a clearer more experiential understanding.
