You know what I heard all my life but never actually understood till now?
This:
βYou are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.β π-Rumi
Now I get it. Conceptually at least.
You see, our bodies are in a constant transaction with the environment around us. You cannot exist without the air around you. You cannot exist without the sun in the sky. You cannot exist without the water flowing as rivers and falling into lakes, seas and oceans. You cannot exist without those microscopic bits of life in the soil helping create food for you. And on and on it goes.
If one literally cannot exist without the other, then itβs all one and the same. We are because the universe is. A human being is just a tiny part of the whole. The physical separation between things as we see it is just an illusion limited by the five human sense perceptions. There is a lot more to life… a lot more happening around us than we can ever be sensitive to through this body. It works perfectly and seamlessly as if it’s all ONE.
Once you realize this, you conduct yourself differently in this world. And once you actually experience this in your body and soul, you become a true lover of the universe. And then if you happen to be a poet, you start to write like Rumi… π
This quote of his is truly profound and I was totally inspired to have it somewhere in my house where I could see it every day. In fact, I’d like all of you to print it out as well and let it empower you!
