Reflection of Sky in a Pot of Water

'Ghata samvritham aakaasam leeyamaanay ghatay yatha
ghato leeyetha naakaasam thadwajjeevo nabhopama:'

The reflection of sky can be seen in a pot of water. It gives the impression of seeking the sky itself. However, if the pot breaks, there is no reflection of sky. Does that mean no sky exists?
The human body is like the water in the pot and sky the absolute brahman. When the body withers away, the absolute brahman still exists.

With this sloka on Advaitha, I wish you all a very joyous Diwali.
