When that happens we lose connection with our essence and thus become like a lost ship at sea.
In these days of material over-glorification and spiritual impoverishment,where the driving force in most people is accumulation of more wealth it is easier to be swept away with the currents. And before one realizes it,one is either just struggling to exist instead of to live, or just busy filling pockets instead of joyfully experiencing. And as this continues there cannot be any doubt as regards what fate will eventually befall such ones …
It must be same fate that befalls a ship that water fills up gradually.
As we journey through the sea of life, we must not only ensure that the ship in which we sail doesn’t have same consistency with the waters ,but also that the water doesn’t get into our ship less we sink.
HOW DOES WATER GETS INTO THE SHIP?
1. When we live only to fulfill our material needs. 
2.When we do only what brings money rather than what we love.
3.When we want to enjoy at the detriment of others.
HOW TO KNOW IF WATER IS ENTERING YOUR SHIP:
1.You are always busy running after more money,bigger houses,and latest cars.
2.You no longer have time for spiritual development.
3.You spend more money on your family than spending quality time with them.
4.You no longer spend time with yourself in silence, and when you occasionally do,the ‘voices ‘ that you keep hearing are those spurring you to more material accumulation activities.
5.You have now become an easy prey to stray thoughts and negative currents. Even your dreams now are mostly meaningless, if not outrightly horrific,indicative of your low vibration.
HOW NOT TO ALLOW WATER GET INTO OUR SHIPS:
1.Have a life purpose / mission that is bigger than you and transcends mere gross matter existence.
2.Let love be your driving force in all that you do.
3.Identify your real gifts, keep using them till they blossom into full abilities.
4.Be strong and alert enough at all times not to allow any addiction take hold in you.
