It would appear that to a unit of consciousness identifying itself as infinitesimally small, the drop is an entire universe. >It doesn't explain the varieties of life that abound in its coonfines, or how storms appear suddenly and batter its surface. Can we absolutely say that this is true only of the ocean, and not of the drop? It doesn't show the waves. One who looks at a drop and says, aha I have the ocean in a drop thinks that the whole ocean is clear, when instead the ocean is mostly dark and unknown. Only the surface might really be anything like the drop. Have we fully explored the depths of the drop? > Sure it's all H2O, but that doesn't tell you what it is alll about. Same thing?
