Yes, that is an important point to consider. Even the Nasadiya Sukta says:
सतॊबन्धुमसति निरविन्दन्हृदि प्रतीष्या कवयॊ मनीषा
Satobandhumasati niravindanhridi pratishya kavayo manisha
(The sages who have searched their hearts with wisdom know that which is is kin to that which is not.)
What is the relation between existence and non-existence? Is existence only a counter-part of non-existence? Are we seeing existence and non-existence only from our own faulty perspective of thinginess?
