Acharya Prashant discusses the concepts of being and non-being through the lens of Acharya Nagarjuna's philosophy. He explains that existence and non-existence are mutually dependent and inherent in one another, rendering them devoid of intrinsic nature or 'Shunya'. He argues that nothing can exist without its opposite; for instance, a white fiber is only visible against a dark background. This principle is particularly challenging for those driven by desire, as desire seeks one side of a duality, such as pleasure, while trying to avoid the other, such as pain. However, the intensity of one's experience of existence is directly proportional to the presence of its opposite.
