II. 56. dariyā kī lahar dariyāo hai jī

The river and its waves are one surf: where is the difference between the river and its waves ?

When the wave rises, it is the water; and when it falls, it is the same water again. Tell me, Sir, where is the distinction ?

Because it has been named as wave, shall it no longer be considered as water ?

Within the Supreme Brahma, the worlds are being told like beads:

Look upon that rosary with the eyes of wisdom.
