This Is The Novel Man

This is the novel man.

Now he knows no duality. He does not make any distinction between a sage and a fool. He makes no distinction between a man and the woman. All dualities have come to be united, all dualities have dissolved. Once you drop the words, dualities drop.

Language creates duality, language exist through duality. It cannot indicate the non-dual. If i say 'day', immediately i create night. If i say 'life', immediately I create death. If i say 'good', immediately bad is created. If i say 'no', just by the side of the no, yes is existing. Language can exist only through opposite.

That's why we see life as always divided -- God and Devil. Drop language, drop this linguistic pattern. Once language is no longer on your mind and you look directly into reality, day is night. Suddenly you will start laughing at why you missed it for so long! Day -- every day turns into night; night turns into day every morning, and you have been missing. Life is always turning into death, death always turns again into life, and you have been missing. They are not two, they are one whole. This is the non-dual, advait. This is the most essential religion.

Because his consciousness is no longer divided by language, he is no longer looking at the world through words. He looks insane: he is absorbed in his own being, he is lost in his own vision. And the vision is so vast, as if a thousand and one sun have risen together. It is so dazzling.

Lost in his own thoughts, he seems insane to the others.

He open his arms to welcome the world,

calling all the ferryboat tied to the coast of life.

And he goes on calling, "Come to me, come if you wish to meet the novel man," and the boat is ready. And his boat is not against life, it is tied to the coast of life. He is not negative. And he says, 'Come, and I can take you to the other shore. Come, and I can make you new. Come and I can take you into eternity."
