A SALT DOLL WENT TO FATHOM THE OCEAN

ONCE, a salt doll went to measure the depth of
the ocean. It wanted to tell others how deep the
water was. But this it could never do, for no
sooner did it get into the water than it melted.
Now, who was there to report the ocean's depth?
What Brahman is cannot be described. In samadhi
one attains the knowledge of Brahman—one
realises Brahman. In that state reasoning stops
altogether, and man becomes mute. He has no
power to describe the nature of Brahman.
