How does Baba use the analogy of the sea and its waves to explain the nature of the world?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 19

In Chapter 19, Baba uses the sea to illustrate the transient and illusory nature of the world, which he refers to as Maya. He explains that just as a strong wind creates waves, bubbles, and foam, the world is in a constant state of flux. These forms are all manifestations of the same water and are temporary displays of a visual illusion that lasts only until the wind calms. Baba teaches that individuals with discrimination are not confused by this worldly flux. They do not compete for perishable things but instead strive for "the eternal gain" by understanding that what happens and what goes is all the same within the work of Maya.
