You have been sent into the world in order that you may use the time and the opportunity to realize the truth that you are not man, but God. The wave dances with the wind, basks in the sun, frisks in the rain, imagining it is playing on the breast of the sea; it does not know that it is the sea itself. Until it realizes that truth, it will be tossed up and down; when it knows it, it can lie calm and collected at peace with itself.
(Baba, The Breath of Sai, pg 223)
