That which arises in time must surrender to the timeless ground from which it was never separate.
Appearance (Nama-Rupa)
The wave is but a fleeting shape imposed upon the substance of the water. Its rise and fall are mere fluctuations of name and form (Nama-Rupa) within the empirical world of Vyavaharika.
The Witness (Sakshi)
The observer of the wave is not the wave; the Witness remains immutable as the water, witnessing the dissolution without undergoing change or loss.
Classical Analogy
The ocean and the waves.
Return to the awareness that is not the river, nor the wave, but the silent, infinite Depth.
Input: The river does not mourn the wave that dissolves back into itself
