Gadhada Last Section Vach. 28 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

Who can attain the bliss of God? I shall explain. Water is life for a fish. For as long as it remains in the water, it is able to swim, move and perform other actions. However, as soon as it loses its contact with water, its liveliness ceases and it dies. In the same way, if someone considers the five sensations to be his life, and believes them to be pleasurable; if he becomes separated from them, he withers like a dead person. Such an individual can never attain the bliss of God. Only someone who has eliminated his inherency with the five sensations can encounter and experience the bliss of God. Only such an individual attains the pleasures of God.
