Shri Nathji also used the example of the drop of water and the ocean. The drop of water was the small limited self of man, and God was the ocean. When the drop of water falls into the ocean, there is a point when the shape and form of the drop just disappear. The voice that cries out I am the ocean” is then the voice of the ocean itself.
Samundar men katraa fanaa ho gayaa
Fanaa ho ke laa intahaa ho gayaa
The drop of water perished in the ocean
And perishing, it became of infinite dimensions.
