A tremendous stream is flowing towards the ocean, carrying little bits of paper and straw hither and thither on it.
They may struggle to go back, but in the long run they must flow down to the ocean.
So you and I and all nature are like these little straws carried in mad currents towards that ocean of Life, Perfection, and God. We may struggle to go back, or float against the current and play all sorts of pranks, but in the long run we must go and join this great ocean of Life and Bliss.
