Those who become immersed in the world and drown in it only realize the material would and its desires, which we have called physical or mudance sustenance. When you only know this one dimension, you refuse to believe that the land or the transmundance exists - just like a fish.
The sea and the land meet and are only separated by a fine line. Fish, however, cannot know or imagine what life on land is like. Nirvana is like an island of refuge, but there are very few people who make the supreme effort to swim to it. The same is true for birds caught in a trap - very few ever escape the grasp of the hunter.
