Watch the waves crashing on the shore. They carry the sands from the bottom of some faraway bed somewhere deep in the ocean. They also wash away the surface sands with all else there is on the shore. With equal ease.
The waves hit the rocks . And in a splash, turn back to merge with the deep sea again. They keep at this seemingly infinite activity. They go on endlessly, till eternity.
Evidently, the waves are able to do nothing to the rocks. However, the waves are as persistent a force of nature as are the rocks a resilient feature. And, in this interaction, there is only mingling. No victory and no defeat. What is washed away from one rock goes on to build another one somewhere really far away.
Sometimes, all it takes is to keep splashing on the rocks in your life.
To keep persisting till the resistance and the resilience gives way to something gentler. You may feel that effort is futile, the rocks are unchanging. But each wave that even touches a rock, leaves an indelible mark. The process goes on. Almost invisible.
And all of a sudden, one fine sunny morning, when the tide is down, the rock stands bare... each little crack and pit and crater telling the story of each wave that has touched its heart. You will not need ears to hear this story, nor eyes to see it unfold. All you will need is a heart- a heart that can connect with the heart of the rock!

When you find yourself being able to connect, you will experience love, truth and divinity.
Here.
Now.
Forever.
And you will experience Unity - the central theme of the universe itself!
