The wave dances with the wind, basks in the Sun, and frisks in the rain, imagining it is playing on the breast of the sea. It does not know it is the sea itself. Until it realizes this truth, it will be tossed up and down; when it knows it, it can be calm and collected, and at peace with itself. Man has been sent into the world for a purpose: In order that he may use the time and opportunity to realize the truth that he is not man but God.
