It’s easy to see how the droplet in the ocean is the ocean and still the droplet, being both the ocean and the individual drop at the same time.
It’s a little harder for us in this ocean of humanity and living creatures to see ourselves as the whole of living creation and an individual ego or person all at the same time.
Yoga and meditation can help us experience this merging of ourselves with all of life while still being this distinct person. We can begin to see and feel ourselves as the one in the many.
As the common allegorical story goes, it’s easy to know what part of the elephant we are and not realize we are all the entire elephant at the same time.
The practices can help us clarify the person we are and how we are simulataneously connected to all of life.
We are this distinct droplet in the ocean of humanity and life and, at the same time, all humanity and life.
The practices can bring this experience alive for us, helping us find our place in this world!
