The soul is a drop, and the Supreme Soul is the ocean...
Lord Krishna says...
"Lust, anger, and greed," these three doors that destroy the soul, lead man to hell. Therefore, man should strive to free himself from these three.
The person who becomes free from these three doors of hell, remaining rooted in his soul and performing benevolent deeds in the world, attains the ultimate salvation in the form of God.
"The soul is a drop, the Supreme Soul is the ocean." The only goal of the drop's life is to become the ocean. As long as the drop continues to consider its own existence separate from the ocean's existence, the desire to unite with the ocean does not arise within it.
The drop does not have the strength to unite with the ocean on its own. Until the drop has no other desire left except to unite with the ocean, the union of the drop with the ocean is impossible.
When a drop develops a sacred desire to merge with the ocean, one day a wave from the ocean arrives that absorbs the drop into itself, and that drop becomes the ocean.
A drop is a part of the ocean, possessing the qualities of the ocean. It constantly strives to become the ocean, but due to ego, it begins to consider those qualities its own. Consequently, its knowledge becomes obscured by the veil of ego.
Due to the lack of knowledge of how to remove this veil of ego, the drop is unable to become the ocean. According to the scriptures, the process of a drop becoming an ocean is completed only after it has gradually crossed three steps.
The first step : - "Dharma": means fulfilling one's duty according to the scriptures and becoming free from anger.
Second Step : - "Artha": Meaning, to acquire wealth and property as needed in the performance of one's duty, thereby becoming free from the greed for wealth and property.
Third Step : - "Kama": Meaning, to fulfill one's desires as needed in the performance of one's duty, thereby becoming free from desires.
Only after crossing all three steps can one reach the destination and attain the vision of God, i.e., "Moksha," which the scriptures call Purushartha.
Any interruption in the desire to perform one's duty leads to anger, and the fulfillment of the desire to perform one's duty leads to greed.
A person who remains equanimous in both situations and continues to perform his duty, quickly crosses the steps of anger, greed, and desire and easily attains the destination, i.e., "Moksha."
Just as no student can pass the second grade without passing the first grade, and it is impossible to pass the third grade without passing the second grade,
Similarly, no human being can cross the second step of greed without crossing the first step of anger, and without renouncing greed, it is impossible to attain freedom from the third step, that is, desires.
Desire is possible only when desires are fulfilled, but after one desire is fulfilled, new desires arise, which prevents them from ending.
Desire is impossible to eliminate by renouncing desires; the only thing that needs to be kept in mind is that a new desire is not being created while fulfilling one.
To fulfill desires, humans are forced to take birth again and again, diving into the whirlpool of happiness and sorrow in this ocean of existence. Only after being freed from the process of repeated incarnations can one attain the goal of human life, "Moksha."
"Moksha" is the only goal after attaining which nothing remains to be achieved. This goal is achieved while living in the human body.
Only the person who experiences Moksha while living in the body has his human life complete. Without attaining this goal, the life of all humans is incomplete.
