The Salt Doll And The Sea

A doll, made of salt,

once visited the sea

to measure its depth;

But, on taking the plunge

the doll could not come

out of the sea, however

hard did it try, to tell its

experience. 

For, in the process of the

dive, the doll had dissolved

into the sea and had become

the sea itself,

losing its personal self.

Such is the case as well, 

is with the seeker of Truth.

The seeker melts and

moulds, little by little,

into Truth until finally,

he is absorbed completely

in It with no separate identity.

The seeker and the sought

become one and inseparable.
