- A paradox is any observation you make that seems logically contradictory, but a different kind of perspective makes it cogent.
- Contemplate on the 2 paradoxes from Isha Upanishad below, and write your own paradoxes.
- अन्धं तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽविद्यामुपासते।
ततो भूय इव ते तमो य उ विद्यायां रताः ॥ isha 9
- अन्धं तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽसम्भूतिमुपासते।
ततो भूय इव ते तमो य उ सम्भूत्यां रताः ॥ isha 12
- Reflections 💭 - What is Knowledge?
- Other paradoxes that I can think of:
- The more we seek to control our lives, the less control we have.
- The more we give to others, the more we receive for ourselves.
- The more we resist change, the more difficult it becomes to adapt to new circumstances.
- The more we learn, the more we realize how little we actually know.
- The more we seek individual freedom, the more interconnected we become.
