“That sea of bliss in which the seeker drowns himself,
And that wonderful cause which forever makes it disappear,
The ignorance which makes the physical world appear,
Is the divine and perennial concept that we ourselves are Brahman.”
― Advaita in translation 8 - the Raft of Awareness or Vijnananauka by Adi Shankara

“I could illustrate the second approach with the image of a nut that one must open. The first parable that came to my mind earlier, is immersing the nut in an emollient, perhaps water, and rubbing it occasionally, so that the water penetrates better, and we let time do its work. The shell softens over the course of weeks or months; when the time is ready, a little pressure from the hand suffices, and the nut opens up like that of a ripe avocado! Or even better, one lets the nut mature under the sun and under the rain and maybe even under the winter frosts. When the time is ripe a delicate sapling will emerge from the substantial flesh that will have pierced the shell, as if playing - or to put it better, the shell will have opened on its own, to let it pass.”
