LAW OF THREE (26) Birth-Life-Death

LAW OF THREE (26) Birth-Life-Death

"Understanding is not the product of one function in man, but the resultant of several functions working in harmony. For example, if one appreciates something with the mind, one "knows" it; if one appreciates it with the emotions, one "feels"it; if one appreciates it with the external physical organs, one "senses" it. But if one simultaneously appreciates it with the mind, emotions and physical senses, then one understands it." Rodney Collin

Understanding needs discernment of the three active forces of a triad.  We can easily discern the forces of Birth and Death.  This two forces support each other but at the same time cancel each other.  However the "unperishable"force of life relates and eternally reconciles them both.

Birth-Death are perceived in time.   Time moves always in the same direction We perceive Birth and Death in the world of the ever-changing, referred to as the world of the transient and the perishing.  Life is the persistent unchanging (and ever active) nature of reality not perceivable from a dual perception.

"He who sees the changing in the unhanging and the unchanging in the changing knows no sorrow."  

Upanishads.

The life cycle, in the Hindu trinity or trimurti,  Brahma is the force of the creator, Vishnu as the preserver or reconciling force, and Shiva the destroyer or the eternally perishing. They represent the three independent but mutually necessary deities in the unity of Brahman.
