A fish had long heard stories about the ocean. She began to fret about it. So one day she asked the Queen of Fishes: What is this ocean and where is it? The Queen was surprised. She said: The ocean? Why, you are in the very ocean itself! Your very existence, your very life, is in the ocean. It is within you. The ocean is your everything, but for the ocean, you are nothing.
For this very reason the fish couldn't see the ocean!
And for this very reason we are unable to find God. But He can be found - by being empty. In the state of emptiness we meet Him, for God is emptiness.
