The Law of Complimentarity

In nature everything seems to have its own compliment. For instance, we have eyesight which has the visible world as its compliment. We have the hearing capacity which has every sound to be heard as a compliment. There seems to be nothing that exists without its compliment. Accordingly, the natural craving or desire we have is an indication of something that exists out there which would satisfy that craving. But we may not know what it is until we find it out and experience it for ourselves. An infant who is struggling to crawl around is driven by a certain force which would finally make him/her to walk up right. But until the child is able to walk straight up, he does not understand what he/she is striving for so desperately in his/her attempt to crawl. Without that natural drive any child would remain lying on the ground all his/her life, and we would have no man on earth walking up right.  Likewise, we all feel some kind of desire within us that keeps us pushing towards some direction. We would not know what it could be until we walk the walk. Hence, our purpose in life seems to be following such natural urge towards something we would gradually realize when we actually experience it.
