So long as there remains a separate river distant from the ocean,
which is its source and its goal, then the river will retain a
separate name and have an individual identity. But once the river
merges into the ocean it gets the taste of the ocean, it gets the form
of the ocean, and it takes on the name of the ocean. If you want to
become one with the Lord, you have to acquire the feelings of the
Lord, you have to acquire the form of the Lord and you have to acquire
all the sacred characteristics of the Lord. Only then will you be one
with him.
You have to feel that all the attributes of the Lord must manifest
themselves in you. Affirm to yourself: "The broadmindedness of the
Lord is within me. All the selfless feelings of the Lord are within
me. The unbounded love of the Lord is within me." When you faithfully
live this conviction then you eventually attain the realization that
you and he are one. Then there is perfect unity.
You must continuously strive for this feeling of unity. You must make
every effort to gain it. Then you will reach that fulfillment one day.
This is the ultimate goal of human life. It is only when you reach
that place, the place from which you have originally come, that true
fulfillment will be yours.
