In the Chinese figure which symbolizes the cosmic dualism of Yin and Yang, the two curving lines--one thickening and the other thinning, one emerging from a point and the other returning to it, one representing Mind Absolute, and the other representing Mind Active, that is, the World Mind--we see illustrated the equilibrium which keeps everything together. There is a balance of forces whereby those who know have to live as if they did not know--that is, live in the tumultuous world as if its physical reality were the only one it possesses.
