Journey on the ocean of Life

If you have not done so already, please read the post "An ocean journey with a twist" before you read this one.

On the journey of life, there is no itinerary. The purpose is to make the journey. The ultimate goal is to get back to the shore (The Source also variously called Brahman, Consciousness, or Divine among myriads of other names. Treat the names as mere words failing to describe the indescribable), which is where you came from. The twists on this journey.

1. You (the Atman or the Self) will never lose your life on this journey.
2. You can choose to make the journey on your own in your own boat (body, mind, ego, intellect). Even if you start out with this choice, you are always given the opportunity to get back on the ship (Surrender), no questions asked and no judgements made. You gain experience (karma. NOTE: I use the word experience very loosely so it fits the story.) when you journey on your own.
3. The fine print : The only way to get back to the Source is through Surrender.
