Asks Quote by Wayne Dyer
“If you take a glass of water and separate it from its source - the ocean - then pour the water away from its source and ask it to sustain life, it flitters away. It just evaporates. It can't sustain life. That's a metaphor for us when we separate ourselves from our source and believe that God is separate from us.”
About This Quote
Separating from one's divine source leads to emptiness, like water removed from the ocean cannot sustain life; unity with source is essential.
In simple terms: Being away from God makes life unsustainable, like water away from the sea.
