THE WAVE IN THE OCEAN

Understand that our whole life is just a small wave in the ocean of the cosmic energy. In this vast cosmic energy, in this cosmos, in this Brahmaanda, in the universal energy, we are just a small wave.

Suddenly the wave thinks, 'Oh, I should protect myself,' and starts asking the neighboring waves, 'Please be my wife,' 'Please be my husband' or 'Please be my son.' It starts asking these waves, 'Let us all protect ourselves, let us all live together and let us all live a happy life.' Then the wave collects a few grains of sand from the beach and says, 'This is my treasure.'

The wave starts thinking this is the purpose of life. With the neighboring waves supporting it, it thinks it is protected. It locks two or three sand grains and two or three pebbles with another wave and says, 'See, I am lending all this money to you. You give it back when I ask.' And the wave thinks it is completely secure and protected. But it doesn't understand that the next moment it is going to disappear into the same ocean!

WE ARE ALL LIKE THE WAVES. IT IS ALL JUST A FEW MINUTES OF DRAMA. THE NEXT MOMENT WE ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR INTO THE SAME OCEAN!
