' The false identity '...

The individual does not finally merge with his original
nature any more than a wave merges with water.

They
were not different to begin with.

A wave is nothing more
than the shifting shape of the water itself.

It is not a
question of joining separate things but of the abandonment
of something inessential and superficial, the false identity
of a separate individual entity.
