“Mind divides opposites. Wisdom reveals opposites are indivisible"

Article ‘What does wisdom reveal?’
by Dr. Vijai S Shankar
It is commonly believed that more knowledge is wisdom. But more knowledge is just knowledge and not wisdom. Wisdom is revealed when knowledge is deeply understood. Surely, wisdom does not and cannot reveal knowledge, because knowledge has evolved in the human mind much before wisdom. Therefore, the question is what does wisdom reveal? ......read further

To understand that man and world are illusory is a very big step for Humanity, and not easy to accept. This article can make man ponder with logic and reasoning that the Enlightened are very correct. To understand is what is needed for Humanity that it's belief systems are illusory, so that they may live life as it is. Never has this been declared and so clear in simple words. Thank You Dr. Shankar for making us understand

Article: ‘What is oneness’
Gerard Benerink, Netherlands
Mind interprets/ judges because of opposites and they are real for the mind. The patience in explaining from so many sides that opposites are illusory and in fact is oneness is part of sharing understanding, which was not declared so deep and clear till now. Gratitude cannot put in words about value of this article as every article what is published. It’s a great opportunity for Humanity to live life as it is, when understood, and impact of understanding is what’s needed in the world. Each disadvantage has his advantage. (Cruyf) Thank You !!
Article: ‘Nature’
Gerard Benerink, Netherlands
Mind separates because of opposites. Man does not accept he is nature too. Man tries to influence nature in many ways and think he does because he thinks he is separate from nature. This article makes clear that man is nature and nature is not apart of him or her. To understand this is a big step to enlightenment. Life is preparing us through Dr. Shankar to understand the very huge intelligence of life. Thank You Dr. Shankar!!

What truly strikes me in the article ‘Nature’ is that our thinking of what should happen and what should not happen is unnecessary, and is equivalent to happenings which are unnecessary in nature as well. That the intelligence present in nature is present in man as well. Particularly the aspect of what should not happen always creates fierce resistance and emotional anger. To understand that it is the deception of thinking what should not happen, while everything that is meant to happen keeps happening, just as it is, to everything else in nature. I am so grateful for the care and compassion Dr. Shankar has for our well-being, this article is of great value to me. Thank you, Dr. Shankar.

Thank you for a good article. What it brings up for me is that... When we are born it is natural, and when we are ill, it is natural and when we heal it is natural And then, when we die, it is natural. It seems that our belief in what to do, when to do it, where to go, and when to go there, is the source of our fear, and so we try and 'fix' nature. I appreciate the understanding that Dr. Shankar brings through this article. Meanwhile it feels that my 'beliefs in doing' are fading slowly. Response Dr. Shankar to Derek,
The source of fear and the trying to fix nature too is natural, albeit illusory. Derek Ayre, UK.
Yes, I understand. All happens in nature.. So believing something to be unnatural is natural, albeit illusory. Response Dr. Shankar to Derek,
Correct Derek.

Wonderful article. In spirituality there are many way’s to become freedom. In reality they bring NOT freedom, maybe for a short while. This article if understood brings freedom every moment of daily life. A gift from life to whoever become to read it.
Article: ‘Harmony’
Gerard Benerink, Netherlands
Wonderful article!! Man is in harmony if life is going smoothly. This is harmony in time. Dr. Shankar makes clear that constant harmony in mind is impossible
Many think courses, meditation, hugging a tree etc. brings harmony in the mind.
The key is not to bring harmony in the mind. The key is understanding the mind, that mind is not the doer in life. Thank You Dr.Shankar!
Article: ‘Incredible Life’
Gerard Benerink, Netherlands
Incredible explained!! This article Dr. Shankar gives so beautiful analogy the 'life-dream' in relation with 'sleep-dream' and so Humanity gives a wake-up call. An invitation in LIFE. Man is blessed when understanding happens.
Article: ‘Mental Treasures’
Gerard Benerink, Netherlands
This article explains key to real happiness is understanding. The biggest belief that mind conducts life has to be pondered. The explanation that man cannot be the doer is again clearly pointed out. Thank You Dr.Shankar!
Article ‘Colourful life’
Sigrid, Germany
For me it feels like the new articles perpetuate and intensify the sculpturing. Like a sculptor working on a stone you are hammering onto the believes of our conditioned mind. Reading the article COLOURFUL LIFE leaves me in awe and admiration of the miracles of life. I have to look at nature differently now and cannot take it for granted any longer. I am amazed by the potential of this brilliant mind and its capacity to imagine. Recognising this magnanimous variety expressed by an extremely intelligent source I can only bow down in gratitude. What a wonderful gift from life. Thank you for pointing it out over and over again!!!!!!
Articles on website
Sigrid, Germany
Iam so grateful that life gives you the strength to write all these wonderful priceless articles on the website. Especially the issues 'THERE', 'WHAT IS TIME? ', 'WHERE DO THOUGHTS COME FROM?' and 'QUANTUM LIFE' ignited a surprising clarity in me. Though you use simple language the light of wisdom shines through the points of ink. For me your words are the most precious support to bring the attention from the mind to life, which is present.
What goes does not come back, and when it goes we do not know. What comes, you cannot stop it from coming, it will come, and from where it comes that too we do not know. Where events come from, where thoughts come from also we do not know, we cannot stop it also from coming. When you cannot stop that which comes, is there any need for us to plan or to expect? Very much enjoyed the satsang. Dr. Shankar also gives enlightening answers to questions about karma and discipline, and I find the elucidation on parenting very touching. Big satsang with lots and lots to ponder and enjoy. Thank You.
