Lake
How is it (meditation) to be attained? In a dozen different ways. Each temperament has its own way. But this is the general principle: get hold of the mind. The mind is like a lake, and every stone that drops into it raises waves. These waves do not let us see what we are... Let it be calm. Do not let nature raise the wave. Keep quiet, and then after a little while she will give you up. Then we know what we are.

Casey couldn't keep up swimming with a sea turtle, because it was using waves to its advantage, and anytime a wave would come at turtle, it barely floated; however when a wave came from behind, it would paddle faster to use the power of the wave.
