“In the realm of reality … there are no opposites”

It [the world of creation] calls for change and transformation. Without change there can be no composition or development. Change and transformation, decomposition and composition produce opposites. In the realm of reality, however, there are no opposites. Consider the world of the sun, which has neither darkness nor east and west. But owing to the exigencies of this world, there is night and day, light and darkness. (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, Mahmud’s Diary, p. 79)
