You are not a separate ‘self’ but a vast and unlimited ocean. Thoughts, images, sensations, feelings, sounds, are waves moving in your timeless presence. They are not your enemies, but your intimate companions. No wave, however intense, can damage the ocean itself. Every wave reminds you of your nature. Be what you are - oceanic.
