Bhagawan beautifully uses the metaphor of a raindrop, its symbolic perseverance in the ceaseless cycle of its rising from the sea, becoming a raindrop and returning to the sea, to explain spiritual patience in the presence of God.
The rain drop has come from the sea; wherever it falls, it yearns to reach the sea, its source. When it falls on some hard ground and gets lost, it again rises in evaporation and becomes a rain drop again. It has no peace, until it merges in the sea. It is happy, when it joins a stream or a river that flows towards the sea. Man is the rain drop; the urge to reach the source,namely, the Lord is in everyone. Some achieve that Goal quick, some late. But, all must reach it.
