Fish and the ocean - a parable about the endless search

In the ocean lived an ordinary fish. Once she heard about the Ocean. According to other fish this was the best place in the universe. Then the fish decided that they should spend all the energy of their lives, but get there.

The fish began to address different sages. Many sages did not know what to say. They talked all kinds of nonsense to maintain their authority as a "guru."

So, one wise fish said that "to reach the ocean is very, very difficult, for this you must first perform special spiritual exercises with fins."

Another guru fish taught that the way to the Ocean lies through the study of the foundations of the worlds of "enlightened fish." To study the life of great fish.

The third taught that the comprehension of the Ocean is very, very difficult. Only very few fish have ever achieved this. The only way is to repeat the mantra "Ram-ram-ram ..." all the time, and only then will the way to the Ocean open.

Once the fish is tired. Une it turned out nothing. Accidentally, she swam into the thickets of algae. And there she met a very ordinary fish of inconspicuous nature.

She told this fish about her search. Hearing about the hard search, ordinary fish said:

"The ocean you are looking for has always been, is, and will be by your side." He always feeds, protects, surrounds his inhabitants. And you, too, are part of the Ocean, only you do not notice it. The ocean is inside you, and outside of you, and you are his favorite part. And all the fish are the waves of this great Ocean!

This parable shows the life of modern people. People are looking for happiness and do not notice that it is near.
