We can reach God
A spiritual discourse on purity, humility, and non-duality, using the metaphor of the ocean and the raindrop.
"One drop comes in our hand... And when this one drop drips into the ocean, everything becomes only the ocean."
"So we have to come ourselves humble, good, pure, and like a brother, like a sister, like a friend, and so on."
A spiritual teacher addresses a gathering, offering a meandering talk that blends creation narratives, the symbolism of Shiva and Vishnu, and the core analogy of the individual as a pure drop merging with the divine ocean. He emphasizes the need for humility in spiritual practice, warns against ego, and concludes with reflections on the equality of all at death, beyond religious identity.
