A fish cannot drown in water, A bird does not fall in air. In the fire of creation, God doesn't vanish: The fire brightens. Each creature God mademust live in its own true nature; How could I resist my nature, That lives for oneness with God?

"A fish cannot drown in water,A bird does not fall in air.In the fire of creation,God doesn't vanish:The fire brightens.Each creature God mademust live in its own true nature;How could I resist my nature,That lives for oneness with God?" This quote from the ancient Sanskrit scripture, The Upanishads, is a great reminder that we're all created to live as our true selves. If we live as our true selves-as God intended-we can't go wrong. When we live as our true selves, we'll understand what's really important and make the right choices. We'll also feel a deep sense of satisfaction and peace.
