The Bowl of Saki Commentary

In the first place, thoughts divide experiences between pleasant and unpleasant. By thinking of something as pleasant, one creates at the same time the thought of what is not pleasant. That is to say, there is dualism; there are two thoughts instead of one thought. Whenever the discriminating mind operates, the thought is double; it has two aspects which may be called good and evil, pleasant and unpleasant-these are the fruits of dualism.

All the great prophets have described the Celestial Realm as a place or condition where there is no day and night. That is to say, it is a sphere of universality, all inclusiveness. When one abandons the fruits of self-action, action is not abandoned but there is no attachment to qualities. Consequently, overcoming an existence which is conditioned in any way, one attains to a state of bliss which leads to highest cultivation of mind.
