Merging with the Light

The liberated soul merges back into the Divine Light from which it came.

Liberation is described as the drop returning to the ocean, the ray merging with the sun. Individual identity dissolves into the infinite, yet the experience is not extinction but infinite expansion.

The drop has merged into the Ocean; where is the separation now?

Bhagat Kabir, Guru Granth Sahib

Merging describes liberation as expansion, not extinction.
