Yin & Yang are sitting on a beach watching the calm sea. The sun is about to bade goodbye behind the mountains.
Yang quizzes Yin, " look at this beautiful sight, I am bursting with energy, I feel like grabbing the red ball out there, I wonder how u can stay calm all the time ". "All this is illusion.... its called Maya, if you could see through this you will be at peace with yourself ". Yang starts laughing sarcastically,"Maya...Umm looks like a beautiful girl's name...". Yang notices Yin drawing something on the sand. "What's this shape... Looks like a big zero" questions Yang... "yeah you can call this that.Life is a full circle you know.... you would have to come back to its source...replies Yin.
" Listen to this story Yang .....You will understand more....Yin starts reciting the story.
A young man seeking truth finds an old man beneath a tree. The young man knew that he had to leave on a pilgrimage—but to where? Seeing the old man, he thought, “He must know the road.” So he asked. The old man instructed, “Follow this road till you come to a tree”—he described the tree in detail, leaves, fruit, everything—“and you will find an old man like me but 30 year solder. He will be your guide.”
The traveller was happy. He thanked the man and rushed on. For 30 years, he wandered but the tree and old man never came. He was tried, and older himself. Finally, he decided, “It is better to go home. God knows when the guide meets me, what guidance it will be!” He turned back. He passed the same old tree and was shocked! It was the same man, only 30 years older. The young man said, “My god! Why did you waste may 30 years?”
The older man said, “Did I waste your 30 years, or did you waste mine? Then you were not ripe enough to be guided. You didn’t look at the tree, though I described it in detail. I described your guide. You were in a hurry; too you. But I actually waited knowing one day you will come.”
Did you get the point Yang quizzes Yin. "Somewhat..... But do you mean to say that "don' go after this beautiful world or what?... I can't control myself..... says Yang. " No says Yin, I am just emphasizing that you would come back to me where ever you go... "Lets see that Yin... I am going to a beautiful new world of computers do you want to come along". Yin and Yang start walking along the beach. "I know all about it says Yin... "Did you see the zero I drew on the sands... That's the basis on which computers where born ...." yeah Yin I have heard that one's and zeros are foundations of digital science...adds Yang. " Yes the two opposites like You and Me "says Yin. Both smile at each other and say in synergy " Like Yin and Yang.... "
