Dissolving A Drop In The Ocean

#

Some drops are hard as stone It takes millions of years to make them and millions to dissolve.

Some drops are like salt ball It takes longer to make them but they dissolve quickly.

Some drops have a dirty smell When those merge into the ocean for some time there is a bad smell around them but very soon they also disappear.

Some drops are of good smell When those merge into the ocean for some time there is fragrance around them but very soon they that also disappear.

Nothing remains, whether it takes time or happen quickly. Nothing remains, whether the drop is good or bad. Nothing remains, whether the drop is beautiful or ugly. The drop gets dissolved in the ocean.

From where the drop of water comes? From a bigger water pool.

From where the water pool come? From a river stream or rain.

From where rain comes? From the ocean.

From where ocean come? Well, it is part of the earth, from whatever source earth comes water comes from the same source.

After coming into existence does drop have an identity? Well, if not so then how can we say that this is my water and that is your water?

You will say that I know this but drop doesn’t know. But how do you know that drop doesn’t know? How it is possible which is the source of every life on this planet itself is lifeless? We can discuss this some other time.

For now let us see, how long a drop lives? Well, it depends on the size of a drop and also depends upon the surrounding of the drop. In a hostile environment like a desert, burning stove, or flood it will die quickly. In another environment, it can have a longer life.

And how a drop takes birth, live, and die? A drop can know experimentally that I have come from the ocean Live on the surface of an ocean And merge in the ocean My dissolution and disappearance is called death by the surrounding but very next moment I appear on the other part of the ocean’s surface.

And many times I join other who are mourning my death from my past life because they think “that” drop was the great drop. So we should offer some flower to that and remember the work that drop did.

Yoga was the way drop lived Whether you sing or dance, Cry or weep, laugh or smile eat or drink, breath or blink Create or destroy some other drops around Every moment you are navigating your life from one corner to another corner on the surface of the ocean called consciousness.

Whether you do Bhakti yoga, sing, dance, pray and praise your Lord. Or you do Karma yoga, work without fatigue and surrender all the results of your action at the feet of your Lord.

Whether you do Hatha yoga, control your physical and mental body at your will Or you do Gnyana yoga, know your true nature, transcend the Maya around and live the way like you are playing on the ground because have time.

All are the ways of dissolving your little drop to the cosmic ocean And be one with the cosmos.

How long you will protect your drop One day it merges to the ocean from where it has come. On this planet, that process is called death.

But if you do this consciously and let it happen every day then the same process of unification is called Yoga.

While sitting at a place we think Only time is changing and the place is the same. But on a planet that is moving with 67,000 miles per hour around the sun And rotating on its own axis with 1000 miles per hours It is foolish to say that we are staying at the same place even after one hour.

The truth is we moved millions of miles away in the sky, since the time we have taken birth. But the drop never knows that and neither bother because drop rises from the ocean and fall back on the surface of the ocean. And this is the only and limited experience of a drop.

Those who are counting Atma or soul are counting drops on the surface of the ocean. Without knowing the size of a drop! Without realizing the depth of the ocean! Without realizing that the ocean is also a drop in space!!

What is the way to know you are drop? What is the way to know you are a deer who have musk in your own body?

Nothing. Just stop running and spend your time and energy knowing this. But the real question is what will happen even if you know you are a drop? And the next question is, why should I know, which I already know?

What Karna did even after knowing from Kunti that her real mother is Kunti and not Radha? That was the moment of realization for Radheya that he is Kaunteya.

He still fought on behalf of Duryodhana He still wanted to kill Arjuna But we know fighting was not the same for Karna something fundamentally has changed in him after this realization. That is the power of self-realization.

If you truly know that you are a drop then something fundamentally will change in you Perhaps your dissolving will not be painful.

Perhaps your reactions to the surrounding will turn into the response. A response that is appropriate and need of the hour But free from jealousy, anger, competition, compulsion and desire to demolish other drops.

Perhaps your madness for enjoying every drop of your life juice will reduce.

Perhaps your madness to exploit the planet and lives around will diminish.

Perhaps the way you talk and think about others will alter.

Perhaps you will move beyond grief, sorrow, happiness & joy and enter into unconditional blissfulness.

O Chaitnya, you may be thinking this all is mental imagination. If so then the entire Vedanta is imagination and your reality is much horrible without a solution.

Do you think millions of people in Indian civilization spend thousands of years and the best gave us is Vedanta and that is just mental imagination?

Perhaps they knew what is good for us and we don’t know what is good for us that is why we struggle all the time to protect & survive our drop and nothing beyond.

Hari Om Tat Sat Yours Truly Hari

Until Next Time Stay Blessed.
