First he sees the dance of water molecules and living matter.
Then he notices the way the waters flow out from the centre of the lake, reaching further and further into infinity.
Lastly he feels the energy that the lake possesses, the energy of the moving particles, the energy given off by the living creatures that dwell within, and the energy of the sun imparting its heat and light.
Watching this, the man then realized that the lake was a reflection of himself. The individual particles of the water were his body. The reaching waters of the lake were his mind, forever stretching out and seeking knowledge. The energy of the lake, from which life seemed to spring, was his soul.
Then the man saw that the sun, which offered energy to the lake unconditionally, was God. Upon seeing this, the man realized that the body must be kept clean and healthy, the mind thirst must be quenched, and by opening oneself to God, the soul must be made strong.
The man realized he was One with God.
And seeing this, he was at peace.
