When sleep comes to an end, a man returns to his senses. Now my individuality has come to an end, and I have returned to Shiva and Shakti. Salt gives up its salty taste to become one with the ocean; I give up my individual self to become Shiva and Shakti. When the covering is removed, the air inside a plantain tree merges with the air outside. And this is how I honor Shiva and Shakti by removing all separation and becoming one with them.

(Jnaneshwar)
