Nirodha· Winding upThe Universe Becomes One Ocean
“At that time, the shell of the universe will fill up with water, forming a single cosmic ocean.”
What the purport teaches
- At this stage of annihilation, water will fill the shell of the universe.
- The flooding extends throughout the universe, not merely one region.
- The water will form a single cosmic ocean.
Try this today
Pause for a moment today to contemplate the verse's image of the universe filled with water.
Ask yourself
How does the image of one cosmic ocean affect my view of familiar places?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
