One then returns to the world, so that the world at this
stage is fresh. It is as if one is coming here for the first time. This the
author says constitutes the ninth stage.
As one returns one still remains outside the opposing world
and yet lives in the world of opposition, where every one is potentially against everyone else, hence the persistent inevitability of conflict of
some sort. The author says one is accepting now than ever before.
In my own
experience of what appears to be post-samadhi or post-fana state, one still has
to work on moment to moment basis to remain outside the oppositional world
by meditating on the unified nature of existence despite individuation resulting
from work of various forms.
Of course, one may become part of the opposition and
participate in a conflict against others, but even then one does it while detached
to the outcome and doing his or her duty, without aversion or desire of any sort, except what is commonly thought to be good or great.
