The Divine is the base — and is also the superstructure. The beads are many, but the interconnecting and integrating string of the rosary is one. So also for the entire world of living beings; God, the permanent, omnipresent, Supreme Divine Consciousness (Parabrahman), is the base. “I am God (soham)”, “He is I”, “I am that” - all these axioms indicate that even those that differentiate themselves under names and forms are in fact God Himself. The bubble born of water floats in it and bursts to become one with it. All the visible objective worlds are like the bubbles emanating from the vast ocean of Divinity, Brahman. They are on the water and are sustained by water. How else can they arise and exist? Finally, they merge and disappear in water itself. Water is one; bubbles are plentiful. Water is real; bubbles are appearances. Water is the basis; bubbles are delusive forms of the same imposed on it.
