Movement and Stillness

Animals move on the land, birds fly through air, fishes swim in water.
Vehicles move on the road, planes fly through air, ships sail on the sea.
Moon revolves around the earth and earth around the sun while sun moves through galaxy.

Every motion happens on relative lack of motion.
Every action occurs on relative inaction.
Every movement feeds off a stillness.
Everything seen is just a layer of the unseen.
Everything felt is just a glimpse of the unfelt.
The gross is the tip, while the subtle is the iceberg.

The animal is the movement while the land is the stillness.
The bird is the seen while the air is the unseen.
The fish is the universe while the ocean is the consciousness.
One exists not without the other.

An extension that happened after reading this ;)

A pebble rolls, but not the Roller ( to be read as 'The Roller himself doesn't 'roll', though the Roller rolls things he himself is not affected by it )
A tree sways, but not the Swayer
A river meanders, but not the Meanderer
An animal grazes, but not the Grazer
A baby is born, but not the Giver
The eye sees, but not the See'er
The nose smells, but not the Smeller
The ear hears, but not the Hearer
The tongue tastes, but not the Taster
The skin senses, but not the Sensor
The mind thinks, but not the Thinker
The intellect infers, but not the Inferor
The consciousness intuits, but not the Intuitor
The body dies, but not the Taker
Worlds create, but not the Creator
Universes sustain, but not the Sustainer
Cosmos dis-solutes, but not the Dis-solver
The Son is, but not He
The Father is, but not He
The Holy Ghost is, but not He
In the Night all sleep, but not He
In the Day all wake, but not He
The Play directs, but not the Director
The Absolute is Manifest, but not the Un-Manifest Absolute!
