Guru Fatha Singh is a droplet in the ocean. 
He is the ocean in a droplet. 
Drops don't last so long however. 
After a short time,
They eschew their hard-won gravity and return to the clouds,
   where they continue the dance they have been engaged in for millennia. 
This is not a conventional biography,
   but you, dear Reader, are also a droplet.
