Mathematics of the Divine Absolute
1+1=1
1-1=1
1x1=1
1:1=1
The main hurdles on the way of true realization are the piles of illusions or so-called understandings which are deposited in our minds since time immemorial. Looking upon things in the world, we suppose we know something. But in reality, the Real Truth is beyond the capacity of the human mind. When we realize this fact, then we reach the level of devotion. So, up to reaching the level of devotion (or surrender), we suppose to clarify this topic by using our both tools, our mind and wisdom.
Let us look upon some of the debates going on in society still today. E.g. the question, what was first, the egg or the hen?
Since it is an argument about a material subject, its solution should be deduced according to scientific proven logic. It is natural for the human mind to think this way. Whatever side has more logic support, that one is considered to be true. So SOMETIMES THE EGG IS FIRST AND SOMETIMES THE HEN.
​
Similarly we argue, what was first energy or vibration?
Many scholars have thought about it and many will continue thinking about it. But no one can really say, that energy comes first or vibration comes first. Since time immemorial such questions are raised, but the actual answer, without any contradiction, has still not been found, nor will it be found ever.
Since this dispute takes place on the material level, any scholar can convince society by giving some strong logics. Society believes in this as long as it doesn’t find any logic stronger. So sometimes the logic may support the side of the egg, sometimes the side of the hen.
Society cannot come to a decisive conclusion on the subject of this material category.
The Contradiction beyond the contradiction
A Sadhak (spiritual practitioner) however should understand the core of the situation of society without considering any logic. If that is not possible, then the Sadhak should also stir up the deep intellect and meditate upon the situation, up to finding the Contradiction beyond the contradiction.
Namely the One that has infinite manifestations and qualities, but is considered to be beyond manifestations and without qualities, the One that is omnipresent, but is not seen anywhere, the One that does all activities, but is considered to be the Non-Doer, the One that has created this universe, but is considered to be the Non-Possessor, the One that is not the relative of anybody, but is considered to be in heart of everybody, the One that is overlooked by everybody, but is considered to look after everybody, the One that is the base of the existence of the universe, but is considered independent. THAT ONE, THAT ONE is the Element of the real contradiction. Not only that much, but It is the Contradictory in the contradiction. Not even that, It is Everything but Nothing. What is It? What is not It? It is no subject anymore!...
So unless we realize this, we should continue posing questions about reality.
1 + 1 = 1 (?)
In Narayan Baba's book ​'Biu Begarko Kheti' you will find explanations about why 1 + 1 is equal to 1.
Other topics that Baba talks about - he raises the questions...
Have you seen that color which is colorless?
Why the colorless color is the topmost of colors and how to become empty through color.
Did you see that emptiness where all things are kept?
Did you hear that sound which always vibrates in you?
No matter what you do you never achieve anything.
Whenever you do nothing you get all things forever.
How old are you? Do you want to know how you can be alive forever?

Once you have finished all your examinations accomplished through Part One's knowledge and experience, you will be ready to enter the Part Two, which is your ultimate target. Part One belongs to the duality aspect, where you can examine every subject in its different aspects.
