In English
asked the : "How can you become one with ?" One gopika answered: "If were a flower, I would be a bee whirling round Him. If He were a tree, I would be a creeper twining round him. If He were a mountain, I would be a river cascading from its top! If were the boundless sky, I would be a little star, twinkling in the firmament. If He were the deep ocean, I would be a small stream, joining the ocean. This is the way I would be one with and merge with Him." Another said: "If were a flower, I would be a bee which goes on sucking every drop of honey in the flower rasing the nectar that is there! This is our approach to God." So, spiritual means to regard a mountain or a tree, or a flower, or the ocean, as a means of God-realization.
