Passage 13

In English

This is the intimate relationship that exists between God and His devotee. When the flower blooms, it does not invite the honeybee. The honeybee itself goes to the flower to suck honey from it. Similarly, the ocean does not invite the river to merge in it. The river itself rushes towards the ocean to merge in it and become one with it. In the same way, God does not ask the devotee to merge in Him; the devotee himself seeks God to merge in Him. This is the closeness that exists between God and the devotee. There can be no devotee without God and there can be no God without the devotee.
