The stone will melt
The sky of the self is the ultimate goal, requiring complete merger into its purity. Achieving this is both simple and profoundly difficult. One must dissolve into that sky, just as water blends into milk. Many cannot understand this truth initially, just as many did not recognize divine figures like Krishna or Rama in their time. The ocean of nectar is the illuminated knowledge within, but doubt makes one an inert stone within it, unable to taste the nectar. The Guru is the giver, and the soul must become like the clear, blemish-free sky. The heart, often hard as iron, must melt through inner fire to become pure and strong. The human body represents universal principles—head, hands, trunk, and legs—but all humans are fundamentally one, beyond division. Live to serve all creatures with health and happiness.
"Prakāśa is that sky. Prakāśa is the sky, and it is like an ocean, and that is the ocean of nectar."
"Śrī Guru Ātmā, Paramātmā, it is Paramātmā, the highest one. Paramātmā, that means Param, and that Param is beyond, beyond this whole sky."
