Questioner: I am seeing Shiva’s statue here, how it is dual? How duality is there?
Acharya Prashant: You close your eyes, this statue would no more be there.
And if there is nothing then even your eyes will not be there.
Do you know if the universe disappears then your eyes are not there at all?
Eyes are defined by the capacity to see something other than themselves. Universe gone, what is the question of eyes? Eyes exist only if the universe exists. The Universe exists only if the eyes exist. That is duality.
What do you think, if everybody disappears, would the sun still rise in the same way?
No, not at all. Because, the sun, the time, the rising, are all events in your consciousness. Your consciousness is not there, the sun will not rise.
