Merged in that ocean of love and bliss, all separation, all individualism vanishes.

For the non-dualist the lover becomes an ocean of love, the concrete becomes abstract; the true and permanent state of which our nature consists, but which we do not recognise through nescience. From nescience arises egoity (“I” and “mine”), and the very idea is a limitation of love. Merged in that ocean of love and bliss, all separation, all individualism vanishes. It is found existing—as it always in reality exists—alone, without a second (Ekâdvitiya). Men often fall back from the grand abstraction of the adwaita—non-duality—through not having recognised along with it the corresponding fire of Bhakti. Hence it appears a cold abstraction, admired by the head but leaving the heart cold—a mere intellectual gymnastics. That it is not so when properly understood is seen through those adwaiti devotees who, full of enthusiasm, fire and love, work ever for the redemption of themselves and others from the net of avidyâ—nescience.
