Once when the drop amalgamates into the river,
It does not remain subject to separation.(289)
When the drop flows towards the river,
It perceives the value of its independent identity.(290)
But when the drop accomplishes the eternal fusion,
In reality, its desire is fulfilled.(291)
Then the drop declares, ‘Although I was just a drop of water,
Yet see how much I have assessed the magnitude of the sea.’(292)
If the river, very kindly, has accepted (drop) me,
It has merged me into its own self.(293)
Then it (drop) emerged out of the vastness of the river accompanying
the waves,
And in form of a wave, it supplicated the river.(294)
