This is a great lesson for all of us to learn, that in all matters the two extremes are alike. The extreme positive and the extreme negative are always similar. When the vibrations of light are too slow we do not see them, nor do we see them when they are too rapid. So with sound; when very low in pitch we do not hear it, when very high we do not hear it either. Of like nature is the difference between resistance and non-resistance. One man does not resist because he is weak, lazy and cannot; because he will not; the other man knows that he can strike an irresistible blow if he likes; yet he not only does not strike, but blesses his enemies. The one who from weakness resists not commits a sin, and as such cannot receive any benefit from the non-resistance, while the other would commit a sin by offering resistance. Swami Vivekananda once stayed in a small village. Thousands of people came to him and asked different types of questions. He was as busy with them he did not get time to eat. No one cared to see if he had his food or rest. That night when people went away, a poor man came to Vivekananda and said “Swamiji, I am greatly pained to see that you are hungry and tired.” Swamiji asked him if he could give him food. The poor man had much desire to do so, but he was afraid. If the king came to know that a cobbler had given food to Swamiji he would be driven away from the kingdom. Swamiji told him not to be afraid of anything. The cobbler brought the bread. Swamiji took the bread and ate.
