The Mystic and the Raindrop

Lesson: We are one with the Infinite

A yogi once held a raindrop on his finger and asked his students:
"What is the destiny of this drop?"

One student replied:
"It will fall and disappear into the ground."

Another said:
"It will return to the ocean and become vast again."

The yogi smiled and said:
"Like the drop, we think we are small and separate. But when we dissolve the ego, we become one with the infinite ocean of consciousness."

Moral: We are never separate from the divine.
