Dwandwa - Pairs of opposites

Good and bad is present in all, almost in all.

Yudhisthira said all are good people. Duryodhana saw all bad. This means former was a rare soul who was good himself and saw only the good in all others. Not that all were all good only.
The latter , bad by himself , saw only bad in all others. Not that there was no good in any one.
To clean anything youy require a clean cloth. How to clean yourself ? By looking at only good of others, talk only good of others and doing only good to others. As you sow so you reap. If you look for bad in others you will become worse yourself.

A resident of Ramanashram was bad in all respects and none had any respect from him. When he died , all were relieved he is gone.
When they reported to Ramana expecting him to heave a sigh of relief, he remarked - But his clothes were always washed cleanest of all.

When you go to a temple , dont look at the dirt around or waste time talking of money-minded priests. Concentrate of God, the main purpose of your visit.

Sukha-Dukha is another common dwanda. Actually , dukha is as non-entity. It is just absence or negation of sukha. Negation is negative approach to sukha which is our natural state. Sukha i.e. happiness is absolute whereas dukha i.e. unhappiness is tyransient and relative, never absolute. In our ignorance we seek sukha in wrong things or by wrong methods and away from sukha get into dreamland of dukha .For example, drinking alcohol.
