In plain words
It loses its form altogether. But if we let the same drop of water join the sea, it takes on the form of the sea. For it there is no more death. It takes on the form of immortality, the form of the infinite. This, they have said, is Mokṣa.
The holy days of the people of Bhārata are full of spiritual meaning
So to keep our small humanness apart and strive on that alone is merely a mad path. We must make it one with the infinite. This is the true path of Bhakti. With such Bhakti and prapatti we must keep every holy day in mind and recognise the truth that they hold many spiritual meanings. The holy days of the people of Bhārata are full of spiritual meaning. On these holy days we clean our houses, tie up festoons and put on new clothes, and we think of all this in a merely outward way. What is their inner meaning? We tie festoons on the house. That means: may our home be always green and auspicious. The old and the foul must go. Newness must come. On this holy day we rise before dawn, bathe the head and put on new clothes. Along with the dirt of the body, the dirt of the mind too is washed clean. The cloth means the heart. To put on a new cloth means to develop a new heart. God is within and without. "Antar bahiś ca tat sarvaṃ vyāpya nārāyaṇaḥ sthitaḥ"; that is why we must not only put on new clothes but also develop new feelings in the heart.
Breaking a coconut means removing the husk of Ahaṅkāra and the sense of "mine" and offering God a heart full of sāttvic feeling
We break coconuts. What is the inner meaning of the coconut? A coconut has a thick husk on the outside. We must pull that off with a spike. Under it there is a hard skin, the shell. When we break that, the pure kernel is found.
