The word Dvandva in Sanskrit has meaning such as – a pair or a couple of animals, men, etc., and opposite situations or qualities such as, heat and cold, pleasure and pain, hard and soft, and so on. The word, Dvandva, has assumed importance in spiritual discipline because one must strive for overcoming the vicissitudes of life and learn to remain unaffected by the impact of the opposites like pleasure and pain, success and failure, loss and gain. The word Dvandva also means doubt, uncertainty, fight or duel. The word ‘dvandvatia’ has appeared in the Bhagavad Gita (IV.22) to denote a person who is beyond the dichotomies, remains firm, unaffected and unperturbed in the vastly changing situations in daily life. In the 15 th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavan Sri Krishna declares that those who become free from the opposites like joy and sorrow reach the ultimate absolute state of bliss (XV.5), from which there is no return to the world of life and death.
