““If you simply see the wave, it is impermanent. If you look deep into it and you can find the ocean, it is eternal. The eternal is not permanent, the eternal is beyond time. 'Permanent' means staying longer in time; but what does it matter whether you are a sannyasin for one day or one year or one thousands years - what does it matter? The impermanent is impermanent - one day, one year, one thousand years. Seek something which is beyond time. Then once it is there you know: it has always been there, and it will be always there. The eternal is your innermost nature, SWABHAVA. It is your innermost being.””
