That is when the boat sinks. ![]() We can use the ocean for our needs and as a means to get to our final destination.

And you will never become empty, because your source of fulfillment is unending and never diminishes. You become unconquerable, because your supporter can never be conquered. ![]() And if you do this, you become unbreakable, because your hand-hold is unbreakable.
