YOU ARE NOT THE REFLECTION OF THE PARAMAHAMSA, YOU ARE THE PARAMAHAMSA!
Be very clear: whatever you think of as you doesn't exist. The moment you relax, a big load is taken away from you. That is what I call liberation. There is nothing to protect because you are just nirvana – Nothingness!
Just as an experiment today, drop whatever you think of as you and relax for a few minutes. I am not asking you to relax forever. When you go back tomorrow morning, you can carry it with you. Just today, as an experiment, relax. If you do this, you will understand that what is happening with your whole being; how you are continuously creating new struggles for yourself by trying to protect the reflection of the Swan.
First understand that you are just a reflection of the Swan. The moment you understand, you become a Swan! You are just the reflection of a Paramahamsa. The moment you understand that, you become a Paramahamsa!
Whether you want to be a reflection of the Paramahamsa or a Paramahamsa itself, it is up to you. Even if you think that you are a reflection of the Paramahamsa as of now, you are a Paramahamsa! Even if you think you are a reflection, be very clear: you are not the reflection, you are the real Swan!
You may try hard to think that you are only a reflection; you may try to protect as much as possible; to struggle as deeply as possible, but the whole thing is just like the futile efforts of the fish.
