I believe this passage really is just talking about how we as people tend to be very selfish and self-oriented. Like it says we view ourselves as individually important and often more important than the rest of people. We put ourselves first as if there is any real benefit to doing so. We need to take some time to understand and realize that we are one in the same. Though we may be unique in ourselves, we are all a part of God and we are all united under the same spirit. Just as a country's people become patriotic and find unity, we must learn to, as a people, find unity in the fact that we are all quite literally God's children. We are God's creation, as is everything around us. Like the passage says, without God, we are nothing. But, in realizing this, we become something. We become a part of something bigger, and "like a drop that has fallen into the great sea and is one with the waters of the sea" we lose our own existence and become infinite, through the grace of God.
