BETWEEN CERTAINTY AND UNCERTAINTY ( II )

Immersed in duality we face the day to day between the certainty and uncertainty. We have the certainty that we have to face specific tasks, we know how to do it, but as long as the hypothetical future does not become present, uncertainty will remain as to how the facts will unfold. Certainty is unity, the verified, the known. Uncertainty is duality, perhaps yes perhaps no, because it has not been completed or has not been verified. We want security, but the subject to movements and changes cannot be assured. What is permanent, indestructible, strengthens the confidence so that is it predictable. The subject to oscillations, not controllable by us, depending on nature or other persons, inevitably keep us in the uncertainty. We begin the day with a few purposes, a new day to fill, but we don´t know what will happen, what contingencies may arise, of the planned what will be executed and what will not. The conditions of the moment, adjust and readjust continuously. In a second what was firm, solid, consistent, can deteriorate or disappear. Our life made to make constant connections between the left behind and the next novelty, it does not guarantee durability. Now we are here present and tomorrow we don´t know if we will continue in this world. Everything is transitory, provisional, but we must proceed from action to action, from one realm to another in an everchanging present. The certainty acquired by knowledge and experience are the resources employed in the purposes, and as we fill in the gaps, uncertainty becomes certainty. The spiritual precepts are intangible, and we see through experiences the results. They serve as a reference, they are permanent and eternal, being a mainstay of certainty when checking them over and over again. The actions commited for material purposes must be based on spiritual principles. The principles give us certainty, the process underway is uncertain, with the certainty that the result will be in line to the approach or distance respect to the basic principles.
