Wherever or Whatever You are You are Always in God - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Words are inadequate to express truth.  Language is always found to be limited.  Whenever one has to talk about God, this limitation of words and language becomes very evident.  Truth cannot be captured by words. 

The words you use to indicate a connection to God also indicate a separation from God.  If you say you are always connected to God, it indicates in some way that you have been separate, independent, outside God.  This is not so.

The moment a fish comes out of the water, life also comes out of the water.  Simultaneously life leaves the ocean as well as the fish. A corpse of fish comes out of the water.  A shell of a life you call fish comes out of the water, not the fish itself.  The life of the fish is synonymous with the ocean. The life of a fish cannot exist outside of the ocean. The life of a fish cannot exist outside of the ocean.  In other words, the ocean is the fish.
