Part 6/8:
Exploring deeper, one can compare their existence to an ocean. Thoughts are merely ripples and waves on the surface. Living solely on this surface can lead to a chaotic life driven by fleeting thoughts and emotions. However, engaging with the underlying depth of consciousness—the vast ocean allows individuals to realize that they are much more than the surface-level turmoil.
Contrary to what one might fear, seeking this depth is not a regression to an animalistic state. In fact, animals—like dogs—exhibit a purity of being free from the ego and its consequent judgments. Their simple presence can remind humans of the deeper joy found in simply being, and through this connection, we often find ourselves experiencing moments of peace.
