the nature of water

There was a school of fish who wanted to find out what water was.

So they went to a wise fish.

"You're in it!" he said.

"It is above you and beneath you.

To the left and to the right.

It is within you and without.

You live, and move and have your being in it."

They thanked him, and swam away.

Then they all got together and decided that they still didn't know what water was!



Yogacharya often told this Fish Story explaining how the nature of water is like nature of God.
