During summer, very little water comes from the river into the ocean, but that does not dry up the ocean. During monsoon, sometimes the river becomes several miles wide and billions of litres of water pour in every minute in the ocean, but that does not flood the ocean. In either case, the ocean remains unaffected. That is because the ocean is so full and deep in itself that no external forces can disturb its stillness and equilibrium. Compare the ocean with a puddle of water. During the summer, it becomes completely dried up, and during the monsoon’s, its floods over why? Because it lacks the depth of the ocean. If you are full and deep within, none of the external forces can disturb you. But if you are empty, you are completely affected by everything that comes in your life. Moral:- “A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires-- that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still-- can achieve peace, and not the man who strives to satisfy such desires”
