If you hold a drop of water in your palm, it evaporates in a few
moments. But when you join it
with the ocean, it becomes boundless and one with the vast ocean. It achieves immortality and infinitude. Only through Love can
union with the Universal be realized. To a devotee who has
achieved such a union with the Eternal, everything appears as Divine.
-Divine Discourse,
