Sagaro means ocean.
Man appears from the outside
Just like a small drop
but from the inside he is totally different.
The inside view is that of an ocean.
From the outside we appear like small dewdrops
Because only our body is visible.
But from the inside when one is rooted
And centered into one's being
When in deep silence the clarity happens
When in deep meditation
One is able to seek uncloudedly
When all smoke of desires and thoughts disappears
When the mirror is absolutely clean
And it reflects that ;which is, then suddenly
One becomes aware of one's consciousness
Not of one's body.
In fact one forgets one's body in that moment.
Not only the body, but the mind is also forgotten.
In that moment one comes to know
The unbounded consciousness.
That unbounded consciousness
That oceanic consciousness, is our true being
That's what we are. We are not what we appear.
So don't be deceived by the appearance
Don't decide by looking in the mirror who you are
Because the mirror can only reflect the physical.
You will have to cleanse the inner mirror
And then only you will know how vast you are.
You are as vast as the universe itself.
That's why Jesus says, 'I and my father are one.'
That is a very old way of saying.
In the East mystics have used
Far more contemporary language.
The Upanishadas say, 'Thou art that.'
Mansoor says, 'I am the truth, I am God.'
And he does not mean the ordinary I.
That I is left behind, log before; in fact
Mansoor is not saying anything on his own.
It is god himself declaring through him
It is the ocean itself roaring.
Of course the ocean roars though the waves
There is no other way for the ocean
To express itself.
All the mystics are just waves in the ocean
Different waves, different expressions
But the message is the same.
That is the meaning of your name.
You have to make it also your experience.
No Man is
