Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining

There are simple sayings in every language that reveal truth. Some may sound simplistic but have hidden depths. This clearly illustrates the different yanas or levels of understanding – same words, exalted meaning.

At street level, “Every cloud has a silver lining”, means that, behind it all, the sun is shining, or good can come out of bad as there is potential in every situation. This relates to relative truth – conventional truth.

From an absolute position, while a situation seems bad, there is always awareness present, and that awareness has the potential of realising itself – our essential nature. It does not matter whether a situation is good or bad, essence remains the same.

That is the teaching of
“One taste!”
It’s nothing fancy or secret.
