The opposites are very vehemently discussed and argued but the possibilities which lie between the opposites are almost never discussed. This is my area of exploration and I am deeply interested in them because they bring out something remarkable and it adds to my understanding of the world and living beings.

Life and death are the two opposites and everyone knows about it but what about the possibilities between the two. You will say that the period between the two is living with your life and I agree but my mind does not accept it because there are many phases in your life when you are only breathing in and breathing out. There are many changing scenes and many ups and downs. Life and death are studied as opposites but those millions of possibilities are mostly ignored which lie between them. What would you say when you find a person lying in coma for more than ten years? One day he opens his eyes and asks about his pen which he had left on the table in his room. How would you explain that he had kept that pen ten years before? How are you going to describe those ten years? What was happening to him during those ten years? Was he alive? Or was he partially alive? Or was he half dead? Or was he dead to some greater degree? Neither you nor your doctors or scientists can explain.
