What does it mean to be like a fish without water in relation to awareness?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"To live without awareness is to be a fish out of water, cut off from the inner source of life; awakening restores your element and allows the sun within to radiate."
According to Osho, to be like a fish without water is to live asleep—cut off from the inner source that gives life, joy, and direction. Without awareness you remain in dreams, whether worldly or religious, and cannot truly rise. Awakening, here and now in ordinary life, restores your element; then the sun within radiates and transcendence begins.
Without awareness, you’re like a fish out of water—lost and gasping—so wake up to who you really are.
