मय्यनन्तमहाम्भोधौ चित्तवाते प्रशाम्यति ।

अभाग्याज्जीववणिजो जगत् पोतो विनश्वरः ॥

"My individual Self, or personality, simply dissolves into my big nature which is my true nature." Every storm that comes into your life widens your horizons, makes you deeper and more powerful. Every storm destroys some smallness in you; something that was very small. Jiva. You think you are an individual self with likes and dislikes. But a storm comes in your life whether you like it or not. It lashes you and pulls you out of your likes and dislikes. This has happened, and is happening.

Every storm is a blessing. It cuts you, destroys you and finishes you off. You cry. If you are knowledgeable, you won't cry. You will laugh. Events are the same. You laugh at them because you know your infinite nature. You are not a limited personality. You are not a worm. You are the universe. So a small merchant in a small boat with peanuts to sell across the ocean is simply destroyed in the storm. Janaka made fun of his own personality - the poor fellow! The poor personality in him which was destroyed by all the storms. Nothing else happened.

This is the role of knowledge. In knowledge, you smile and laugh at an event. You grow out of an event with the power of knowledge just as a drowning person holds onto even a straw. Knowledge is like holding on to a life jacket in the storm. A life jacket may be a small kit, but it saves you from drowning. Everybody in the world faces these crises, for instance personality clashes, relationship problems, worries about the future, insecurity about life. The days pass by and whether they are in the right place or not? Will they get the right people around them? All sorts of confusion, jealousy, anger and hatred arise! But the persons with the life jackets are saved. They arise above all this. Put on the life jacket, blow it up and be well prepared. The poor merchant, the poor individual soul gets completely destroyed. It's the individual who gets destroyed, Infinity is indestructible. Being immortal is looking at your infinite nature. All prophets have already said, 'Die before death. Die while you are still alive.'
