' Ideas move the world '...

The ocean itself is one big drop, but it is also made
of small drops; many little drops put together become
an ocean.

But actually, in the ocean, the drops don't
exist; they are one integral whole.

So, you may say there
are no drops in the ocean, yet you can say it is made up
of drops.

Both notions are correct.

Actually, the drops
in the ocean are only conceptual.

The mind says that
there are many parts.

Ideas move the world.
