The Ocean and the Waves

In order to be visible to us, things must have many levels, many forms. That’s why whenever we see, we see multiplicity. At the sea shore we see only the waves, we never see the ocean.


The fact is, however, only the ocean is, the waves are only superficial.


Waves alone are not the ocean, and the ocean is much more than a mere collection of waves. The basic fact is that the wave that is now, after a moment no longer will be.


Nor did it exist a moment ago.


We see only the superficial because we have external eyes. To see within requires internal eyes. As the eyes, so the sight. You cannot see deeper than your eyes. With your external eyes you see the waves and think you have seen the ocean.


To know the ocean, you must leave the surface and dive below. Only then can you know.


Everything that comes and goes is a dream.

Each wave is but a dream; the ocean is the reality.


The waves are many, the ocean only one, but we see it as so many waves.


Until we see the unity, the oneness of the ocean, we shall continue wandering.
