No, you need not identify with anything. You only need to get rid of your notions. Do not identify with any name or form which is not real. No name or form is real. Now, to reject name and form you need not make any effort or employ any kind of thinking or identification. You have been identifying with names and forms. These have caused you to feel separate from the fundamental nature which you always are, so you have to disidentify with something which is not true. No need to identify with the ocean or the Source. You are the Source.
