Case 6 — Non Duality #

Young founder Nao approached master Kwan with a peculiar problem.

“Master, I’ve built a marketplace for trading digital goods. When I focus on the sellers, the buyers vanish. When I court the buyers, the sellers fade away. I cannot help but see this as a war I can never win.”

The master responded by picking up two identical mirrors and placing them face to face.

“What do you see?” asked Kwan.

“An infinite number of reflections,” replied the young founder.

“Now tell me - which reflection came first?”

At these words, Nao was enlightened.
