सब कुछ बहती नदी की तरह निरंतर बदल रहा है, फिर भी विरोधों के तनाव से एक छिपी हुई व्यवस्था संसार को थामे रखती है।
पृष्ठभूमि
सब कुछ बहता है: संसार शाश्वत बनने की प्रक्रिया है, जिसे लोगोस और विरोधी तत्त्वों का संघर्ष संचालित करता है।

मत
Heraclitus saw the world as a process of constant change governed by a hidden order he called the logos. You cannot step twice into the same river, yet the river remains: stability arises from ongoing flux. Opposites – day and night, war and peace, life and death – belong together and turn into one another; strife is not a defect but the very engine of the world, and ever-living fire is its fitting image. Most people, he complained, live as if asleep, without grasping this common logos. His thought of unity in tension inspired Plato and the Stoics and, much later, Hegel and Nietzsche.
जीवन और संदर्भ
Heraclitus came from an aristocratic family in Ephesus on the coast of Asia Minor and was active around 500 BCE. Ancient reports portray him as proud and solitary, scornful both of the masses and of famous predecessors. His book survives only in some 130 terse, often enigmatic fragments, which earned him the nickname “the Obscure”.
