Rumi, A Drop of Water and Me

20 th March 2025

The passing clouds left behind a few drops of water on the terrace this morning. The openness of the terrace had taught me to have an open mind and converse with anything and everything. A drop of water came to life , embraced me, and told me “ Every drop of water makes an ocean.” To Rumi- You are not the drop in the ocean, but you are the ocean in the drop. But, to the true mystic, there is neither a drop, the ocean , Rumi, and you. We are nothing but only hallucinations that survive in the form of mirages in the deserts of time and Maya.. Wake up my friend from your slumber and experience the emptiness of reality.” Tears of ecstasy trickled from my eyes, which eventually surrendered to the rain drops .
