Pros and cons and looking before and after have no place where loyalty unto the Lord is concerned. All things mundane are a clash of good and evil, of the light of knowledge and the darkness of ignorance, which have constant sway over man who suffers from unease by permitting of the display of pleasure and pain on his mind and in consequence succumbs to fears arid pines for relief therefrom. Reality perceived in one way is sorrow, perceived in another way is pleasure, each being a name-and-form of the same (name-and-form-less) entity. Asleep you know nothing; awake you know all things. Knowing nothing and knowing all things belong to the same category (of Avidya, Nescience), each being identical with the Ground (namely, Existence-Consciousness, which appears now as nothing and now as all things owing to primordial Adhyasa).
