I love this short parable. It teaches us that under the duality there is oneness. The salt doll realizes that oneness by dissolving the separateness. Our personal ego-based identity does not realize Universal identity as long as it holds onto ego bound identity. Self-realization is the realization of my Real Self which is universal. It is an experience of oneness regardless of apparent differences. The wave is the ocean. I have had many glimpses of my real or true self. When I am fully absorbed in meditation I lose my individual identity. Individual consciousness becomes universal consciousness. There have been times when I have experienced oneness with nature. I have experienced such oneness in unconditional love relationships. They are spiritual experiences for me. Such experiences have enriched my life and have made me a better person.
Namaste!

I agree with you and the importance of letting the ego and connect with every person and experience that enters your life fully.. being present and mindful of my thoughts and feelings and that of the other person too… seek connectedness and similarities and learn from each other ❤️🌺

I agree. I think feeling as "one" with everything (all living beings and the universe) is really getting at our purpose and Pure Love is what it is all about, where we realize we are here on this planet as a living body with a spirit to connect and make everything better by loving everything and receiving love from everything. The salt did not know who "she" :-) was until she had found her purpose to help the ocean! The Ocean also helped the salt. Together it was more than 1+1=2! :-) Leave a Reply. |
