Timelessness that in itself is perfection. The union of the two symbols here in the concluding lines is the resolution of all the dualities and contradictions. The two opposites are brought together not on the physical but on the spiritual plane. It is only with the spiritual consciousness that one can see and perceive the opposites as entirely reconciling.
