> The Jar Metaphor: A metaphor for the awareness of soul is that each being is like the light of the sun reflected in a jar of water. When we identify with the jar (our body and personality), our sole concern is to defend its integrity and any harm that comes to it causes us pain. When the jar breaks we see this as the end of our existence, an absolute calamity, and we live in fear of that. But on the soul level, we come to realize that we are not the jar, but the sun’s reflection and our aim is to realize our oneness with the sun, our true Self. Naturally we will take care of the jar, but we are less afraid about what happens to it. We know that it is transient and cannot be the sole cause of our happiness. Finally there is the level of absolute truth, where we realize that we are neither the jar, nor the reflection, but the sun itself, the divine presence that shines in us. - Taken from Ramgiris forthcoming book: HeartSourcing: The Way LOVE Dissolves Fear.
