“Spaces in togetherness” is such a lovely way of presenting the dichotomy of relationship which exists not only between two people but also between the temporary/impermanent human form(body/mind/roles we play) and the eternal underlying substance(consciousness) of which the form is made. Both, the temporary as well as the eternal, are essential facets to the human experience. We get so enamoured and attached to the temporary form of ourselves and the relationships it has with everyone/everything around, that we forget the eternal substance that the form is made of…
Although we are reminded of the mortality of our form time and again, we refuse to let go of our grip on the temporary form even after knowing/suspecting that we return to the eternal substance. Its this refusal to accept the eternal and clutching on to the temporary form that brings us back again and again to play the same game in a different form…
Its as if we are addicted to the temporary form along with its pleasure and pains and want to return again and again to re-experience it… This dilemma of the dichotomous relationship between the human form and the underlying eternal substance is beautifully expressed by the Sufi Bulleshah in his couplet
