The reason all the denizens of the deep sea are happy is that they
have water all around them... above, below, on all sides. They
cannot survive even a second outside it. If they perforce have to
come out of it, they struggle frantically to reach water again... being
out of it is a disaster. So too, if you are immersed in Divine
Peace, you will experience the real joy and exhilaration of that
state, constantly. One who has tasted that joy and exhilaration
can never tolerate even for a second, the state of asanthi (Lack
of Peace). If it ever happens, he will struggle furiously
and return to that state of Peace. You must not float on the
upper wave of impulses or intentions...You must dive deeper and revel
always at the calmer levels. This is the most urgent task.
