How shall we go further?
The teaching reveals the path to unity and the soul’s divine joy. All humans are brothers and sisters, beyond religion, country, or language. The body is temporary; at death, it returns to dust. Money, thoughts, feelings—none accompany the soul. The soul, the ātmā, is one essence. According to actions, the soul moves to higher or lower realms. Ultimately, the soul merges with the Supreme, like a water drop returning to the ocean. That drop is tiny, yet identical in essence to the vast ocean. So one should be humble, loving, and free from anger. The true yogi knows this unity. When the heart center opens and consciousness rises to the crown, dualism ends. Stone and diamond hold equal value. Hunger and thirst bring no sorrow. Such a yogi stands firm like a mountain, unshaken by storm or rain. Inside, the ego is dead, yet the yogi lives in divine bliss. There is no emptiness; the sun of awareness rises. This is the condition of the saints.
“Even a little drop of water, very fine, but that and the ocean are the same. Sooner or later, this drop will become one with the ocean.”
“This yogi is living, but inside he is dead. In this emptiness, the sun was rising.”
