⦠"The body is a personâs ocean⦠"The intellect is a personâs ocean, and its current consists of ideas. Whoever resists that current consisting of ideas is said to have crossed over the ocean of the intellect with its waves, whirlpools, sharks, & demons. Crossed over, gone beyond, one stands on firm ground, a brahman." That is what the Blessed One said. When the One Well-gone had said that, he—the Teacher—said further: Whoever crosses over this ocean, with its danger of sharks, demons, waves, so very hard to cross is called: an attainer of wisdom who has lived the holy life, one whoâs attained the end of the cosmos, one gone beyond.
