THE SALT DOLL Once a salt doll went to measure the depth…
““THE SALT DOLL Once a salt doll went to measure the depth of the ocean. No sooner was it in the water, that it melted. Now who was left to tell the depth? There is a sign of Perfect Knowledge. The seeker becomes silent when It is attained. Then the "I," which may be likened to the salt doll, melts in the Ocean of Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute, and becomes one with It. Not the slightest trace of distinction is left.””
