An
ancient parable is that a fish who was of a philosophical bent of mind was
asking other fish, “I have heard so much about the ocean; where is it?” And she is in the ocean! But she was born in the ocean, she has lived
in the ocean; there has never been any separation. She has not seen ocean as a separate object
from herself. An old fish caught hold of
the young philosopher and told her, “This is the ocean we are in.”
But the young philosopher said, “You
must be kidding. This is water and you
are calling it the ocean. I will have to
inquire more, of wise people around.”
A fish comes to know about the ocean
only when it is caught by a fisherman and drawn out of the ocean, thrown into
the sand. Then, for the first time she
understands that she has always lived in the ocean, and that ocean is her life
and without it she cannot survive. - Osho
How could this relate to you?
