| A Beast Is Nature |
|
a beast is nature A drop of water in the ocean is the ocean itself. Yet this drop is holding on to its drop identity, insisting it is separated by a membrane that detaches it from all other drops and from the ocean. This is not what beasts do; this is what humans do. The conscious mind's sight is limited; it sees borders and boundaries all around and, by its own peculiar logic, concludes that reality is that of separation. Hence, it develops drop mentality and defends this mentality with its life. It has a drop ego, a drop consciousness, and its life is encased within the narrow confines of the drop's limitations. The truth is there is no drop; there is nothing but ocean. With the right perspective, we can see that we are the ocean. But lacking that perspective, the conscious human mind insists it is a drop, and it cannot let go of this perception ... unless it stops trying. The drop is an illusion. Let it go, and be the vast ocean. |
