Enlightenment - The Wave Analogy

Today I would like to present an excerpt from Yudhishtara’s free online book, “The Beloved Mystery Within You, specifically from the chapter – The Ocean – found at the url: http://www.yudhishtara.com/theocean.html.

Yudhishtara asks us to, “Just pretend we are one of these waves and we are having a discussion with the other waves. We can be discussing things pertaining to waves and water. We can be running around having a lot of fun—jumping up and down and looking at the foam, comparing our height to somebody else’s height. We can talk about all our accomplishments and adventures as waves.”

Pretending to be a wave is a metaphor for being a human being, but that is obvious when one is sitting in Satsang. Yudhishtara then continues, “We are playing and looking around. Suddenly we hear a tremendous noise that we haven’t heard before. We look harder and some of us see that pretty soon we are going to hit the shore and the sand. Then this gigantic natural fear takes over us and we say. I am going to disappear. And this horrible fear takes over.”

We will fight through the fear or be conquered by the fear, but in the end the wave ends up on the sand and then it discovers that it is water – has been water, was water and will always be water – it has not be annihilated.

Yudhishtara theme in the chapter is letting us know that we are THAT; we were never born and we will never die.
