To Exist...

To exist means to be something, a thing, a feeling,
a thought, an idea. All existence is particular.
Only being is universal, in the sense that every
being is compatible with every other being.
Existences clash, being - never. Existence means
becoming, change, birth and death and birth again,
while in being there is silent peace.

- Nisargadatta Maharaj
