That Reality, as Reality itself, has no opposite. It only has an opposite when viewed through form, like Iblis compared with Adam, Moses compared with Pharaoh, and Abraham compared with Nimrod. The “opposite” of the saints also served their purpose. Through their opposition, the saints prospered and became known:

The moon shines in the darkness,

bringing joy to all.

A dog howls in response,

according to its nature.

We can’t blame the moon

just because the dog disturbs us.

Perhaps you have had a peak or trough experience—a high or a low. Where did this leave you? The Sufis would call this your maqam, or stage of spiritual development for the moment. Perhaps you are facing choices in your life. If so, consolidate and solidify all the possibilities and intangibles. What part of your realization can you bring into action now?
