ocean

The person in whose life things come like rivers joining ocean, without creating any change, gets peace, others don’t.

This shloka of geeta says:

Sages are like ocean, they live a social life hence rhey have to come in touch with every thing. But their attitude makes the difference.

Just like rivers join ocean, they pour down their water in it, sometimes in huge amount and sometimes very little, but the ocean remains unchanged. It doesnot dries up without their water or gets flooded by their extra water. It maintains its calm, stability.

Like ocean, sages come in touch with every thing but they are nonchalant towards them, they just don’t care if they are there or not. Its irrelevant to them whether they are flooded with them or don’t get even the minimum. They stay content with the things which they have within themselves. Their soul and stable belief in God. Naturally they get peace. And those who cant attain the stability of ocean, cant get above the attraction of materials fail to gain peace.
