Once Sri Ramakrishna asked the boy Narendra (Swami Vivekananda), "If you were a fly and there was a pot overflowing with nectar, how would you drink it?"
Narendra replied, “Why? I would sit on the edge of the opening and slowly sip bit by bit and enjoy it to my heart’s content.”
To this Sri Ramakrishna replied - “You are a fool! You should dive deep into the pot and become one with the nectar!”
This is true Advaitha or non-dualism. It is here that the person who experiences, the act of experiencing and the object of experience become One. This is the state which often Swami refers to as “Constant Integrated Awareness”.
