Note – Here, a beautiful example is given by Bhagavatham. Suppose you see yourself suffering in a dream, and there you get the solution to end the suffering also, will that help you in any way?

No, because the only solution is to wake up from the dream and end the sleep! Similarly, as long as you have “I”ness and “My”ness you can never escape from the miseries caused by your limited identity.

When a wave (a state of ‘some body’) subsides, it becomes ‘no body’ by losing its identity. Then it is ONE with the infinite ocean or becomes ‘every body’. Similarly, a mind totally surrendered to the Lord loses its limited existence and attains eternity.

From time immemorial, man wanted to become immortal and our Rishis meditated on how to attain it. They realized that we do not have to get any more things, but lose what we already thought was our’s.

Spirituality is nothing but losing our identity and attaining infinity.

Now, the wave may still arise, but with the awareness that it is the INFINITE OCEAN.

Devotion means dissolving into the Supreme Oneness. Such a devotee becomes God.
