When salt mixes with water, it takes the form of water. In the same way samadhi or trance means the mind merging with the cosmic soul or God.
Those who are pure in heart achieve God-consciousness; they are truly and actually aware of God at the centre of their being.
In primal time, in all time, was the Creator; Nothing is real but the Eternal. Nothing shall last but the Eternal.

The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.
