''How can one prevent a drop of water from ever drying up?''
Looks like a dumb question... First hand, why would one like to stop a water drop from getting Dried up ... its a natural phenomenon... any water drop has to get Dried up sometime or the other ...
and my doubt is - where is an external act in preventing a water drop from getting Dried up ?? Okie... might be we are talking about delaying the process of drying up ... i.e. prolonging the time. ..
So, if its a natural process tat a water becomes dried up, but there is a question of time factor is added into it...So, it must have its own consequences, that a water drop is dried up sooner or later ...
So why would a drop should be dried up sooner? or other hand, why it must be delayed?
Now, firstly what is this water drop ?
A drop here in this existence is a beautiful aspect to represent the true functionality of the earth...it exist in three forms - or coexist in three forms. one can see water as liquid, gas and solid coexisting.
Water is one object that always has amazed me right from my childhood. I have taken it in hand and always tried to figure out how it is like this .. a liquid... and have wondered about it... I have tried to catch it with my hand many times..
Later i was given answers by the religion of science - with all the maximum possibilities of Assumptions used to prove their theories.
So A DROP... - A beautiful thing.
''How can one prevent a drop of water from ever drying up?''
Here, in this statement, it represents a Soul in this existence.
Life what we call is a continuous cycle of birth and death of a soul...
A Samsara..
Life here must have a purpose... Else why must there be a perfect sync of all the objects in this eco system.. this system is just perfect and perfect.. Nothing more can be added to it.. All the lives in this earth, are a reason for all the other lives to live here. No one can exist alone. No life can exist without the help of another life... Its a big big wave of energy ... A FLUX... I have talked about this already in my VOTE OF THANKS.
So, if we set on the path to search for the purpose of this existence, we get stranded. Coz, there are no proper guidance... First we don't know from where to start the search. It takes a lot of diagnosing to understand the simple fact that all the lives are in sync.
Finally you end up concluding that, its just a simple life and sole purpose is to get dissolved with the Ultimatum.
A life gets dissolved with the GOD, or Creator, or the TRUTH, or call it by any name.
It undergoes the cycle zillion of times until it gets DRIED UP sometime.
If its allowed to get dried up, i.e. getting one with the ONE, it will take its own time. It will get dried up, but you will never know when ...
If you want it to get dried up soon, you have to provide the required heat energy. How, when and where to provide the heat, is a big question..
If a soul wants to get dried up soon, it has to allow itself to get dried up ...
If you don't want to get dried up, then??
Now comes the question -
How can one prevent a drop of water from ever drying up?
Answer is Simple...
By throwing it into the sea ...
The Sea of Samsara ...
i don't get it.
ReplyDeletethe drop means the life - my own life?
and what do you mean 'sea of samsara' ?
God is represented by the sea (the infinite source of all LIFE, Love and Truth, the big soul) in this quote (the endless sea, the big water) and the individual small soul (the human) is represented as a small water drop, which will get dry, "kissed" by the hard sun (which is also a manifestation of God), as we will all die (and all the material things in the universe) one day, "kissed" by the light of the death. So, if you find your way (each one has a different way for sure, but a same purpose) and reunite with God - you will never get dry, you will manage to escape "death" (of the soul) and escape from the cycle of life (Samsara - where you will always return, in order to learn all your lessons, if you don't succeed the quest) and finally find freedom (Nirvana, Moksha, Liberation, etc). The water on Earth has it's own cycle - get dry and turns into gas, then falls down like a rain and turns again into water - this should be the endless cycle (Samsara) of the magical water, which is the source of all life on the Earth. That's how i understand the message. Best,

ReplyDeleteI saw this phrase "How can one prevent a drop of water from ever drying up?" for the first time from the movie Samsara (2001) by Pan Nalin. And the answer to that is "By throwing the drop of water to Sea". Here the sea is Spirituality that is what I understood by watching that movie. As the water dries up so easily with the help of heat energy we humans too fall in to the Samsara Life as this two things are natural process. And the dried up water comes back to Earth once again as Rain, similarly we humans after giving birth by entering in to Samsara Life we come to this earth once again and this cycle continues.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to stop it is by avoiding the Samsara life and entering into the Spiritual Life which is not possible by most of the human beings as our natural hormones doesn't allow us to do so. When we throw a drop of water to the Sea so that the drop of water mixes with the Sea and it never dries up. Similarly if one has to come out of the Continuous Cycle of LIFE and DEATH he/she must need to understand the ultimate reality of LIFE and try to throw themselves in to the Sea of God.
A single drop of water will evaporate and disappear from sight sooner or later; However, if it is thrown into the sea, it is no longer a separate drop of water, it becomes indistinguishable from the mass of water that is the sea - so in one limited, literal sense, it has been prevented from drying up and disappearing, but in another sense it has really disappeared again as the drop of water is no longer there - it doesn't exist, it has changed form and combined with other similar drops to become the flowing water. There can be numerous way in which this riddle can be interpreted with reference to life - one such possible interpretation is - a life lived in a totally 'self-centred' manner is over when it gets over. All traces, even memories, of its existence disappear within a few years or at most a few generations; If on the other hand, it discovers a purpose that touches and impacts a much larger number of lives, it lives on thru' them for a much much greater period of time. From being a single drop of water, it transforms into a wave in the sea that touches and impacts much more.
