A Quote by Mother Teresa

Listen, O drop, give yourself up without regret, and in exchange gain the Ocean. Listen, O drop, bestow upon yourself this honor, and in the arms of the Sea be secure. Who indeed should be so fortunate? An Ocean wooing a drop! In God's name, in God's name, sell and buy at once! Give a drop, and take this Sea full of pearls.

What do you have to surrender? A drop has to dissolve into the ocean to become the ocean. And a drop cannot be greater than the ocean, can it? So what is the surrendering? It is the surrendering of our conditioning, of our ego and the artificial barriers we have built around us.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

We realize that what we are accomplishing is a drop in the ocean. But if this drop were not in the ocean, it would be missed.

You are not just the drop in the ocean. You are the mighty ocean in the drop.

The ocean is a large drop; a drop is a small ocean.

We have the same qualities as God, just like a drop of the ocean has the same qualities as the whole ocean. Everybody's looking for something and we are it. We don't have to look anywhere--it's right there within ourselves.

As the smallest drop of water detached from the ocean contains all the qualities of the ocean, so man, detached in consciousness from the Infinite, contains within him its likeness; and as the drop of water must, by the law of its nature, ultimately find its way back to the ocean and lose itself in its silent depths, so must man, by the unfailing law of his nature, at last return to his source, and lose himself in the great ocean of the Infinite.

Prayer in action is love, and love in action is service. Try to give unconditionally whatever a person needs in the moment. The point is to do something, however small, and show you care through your actions by giving your time ... Do not worry about why problems exist in the world - just respond to people's needs ... We feel what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, but that ocean would be less without that drop.

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

Writing a journal means that facing your ocean you are afraid to swim across it, so you attempt to drink it drop by drop.

You're not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.

Through meditation one has to achieve a dreamless sleep with full alertness. Once this happens, the drop falls into the ocean and becomes the ocean.

The wave is the same as the ocean, though it is not the whole ocean. So each wave of creation is a part of the eternal Ocean of Spirit. The Ocean can exist without the waves, but the waves cannot exist without the Ocean.

You can't create an ocean with a single drop. But you can create an ocean of suspicion with a single drop of doubt.

Because time is a drop in the ocean, and you cannot measure off one drop against another to see which one is bigger, which one is smaller.
