Baba uses the metaphor of the sea to describe the world. Can you explain this analogy and what it teaches about discrimination?

πŸ“– Chapter 19

As detailed in Chapter 19, Baba compares the constant changes in the world to the ocean. When a strong wind blows, waves, bubbles, and foam appear on the sea's surface. These forms seem distinct, but they are all just manifestations of the same water, a visual illusion created by the wind of Maya. Once the wind calms, they disappear back into the whole. Baba teaches that those with discrimination are not puzzled by this flux. They understand that these worldly forms are perishable and do not compete for them, instead striving for the eternal gain, which is the underlying, unchanging Reality.
