This is an imaginary interview between Jeevathma and the vast oceans of the world.
Jeevathma: Respected Ocean or Samudram, I have a question for you.
Samudram: Who are you? What is your question?
Jeevaathma: I am an ordinary Jeevathma. Thank you for giving an opportunity to talk to you. Can I ask you what is the meaning of your name "samudram"?
Samudram: Jeevaathma, I am not surprised that you do not know the meaning. The dictionary meaning will tell you that I am "a collection of waters" or "a confluence" or something like that. That meaning is not wrong. But I am much more than that. I am Bhagavaan's nature it self.
" In the beginning, there was darkness hidden in darkness, all the Universe was unillumined sea" this is what Rig Veda says about me.
There existed nothing other than Paramaathma thatvam and then I came into existence from that Chaithanyam or I rest with in Bhagavaans'nature just as you rest in Bhagavaan's nature.
Jeevathma: Why do the rivers always travel in a hurry to join you?
Samudra: Because they were born from me and they ultimately want to reunite with me. Listen, first clouds are born from me when I supply water vapours, then clouds give birth to rains and rains give birth to rivers and streams. Then they come back to me to unite with me.
Jevaathma: It is very interesting. What lesson I should learn from you while watching your magnanimous behaviour? So many things are coming to my mind and I am not able to internalize anything effectively. Please help me.
Samudra: I will tell you in a nutshell for a very ordinary jeevathma like you who live in this Kaliyuga. I will tell you a secret. I have so many auspicious gems and pearls hidden in me. With their own capability and strength, these small pebbles rolling with the river and straws flowing on the top of the river can never contact the gems hidden with in me at great depth. But they join the rivers and come along with them to have the satsangam of the gems and pearls.
Similarly, you are a Jeevathma who may find it hard to get in contact with the most auspicious blue stones hidden in the ocean called Paramaathma. We call these blue stones, Krishna or Krishnakrupa (kindness of Krishna). With Bhagavaan's blessings, you can travel along the river of Bhakthi or devotion to reach the ocean of Paramaathma and stay in contact for ever with the blue stones or even become a blue stone yourself. It all depends how intensely you desire to be in contact with the brilliant blue stones. Come along the path of devotion continuousy rememebring Him (niranthara smarana) and you will never encounter any problems! Hope you understood what I meant.
Jeevathma: I am slowly getting it. May Bhagavaan bless me to understand, internalize and go forward towards Him! Thank you so much. BhooyO BhooyO namaamyaham!
