You cannot deny

“Just as Ocean is not affected by uneven movements of the ships due to changing winds, similarly I, the Oceanic Awareness is not affected by movements of this body due to ever changing thoughts”

You may say although above statement looks very attractive but how do I know I am Ocean like Awareness and not a ship like body.

Well, the very fact that you are fully aware of your body and ever changing thoughts, is enough proof that YOU are not just your body thoughts etc. There certainly is something perhaps un-nameable which is aware of all your desires memories etc etc.

There may be endless debates as to what that “something” is but for sake of naming it has been named Awareness / Presence/ Aliveness / Bodh / Gyan etc across civilisations.

But nobody not even an atheist or fool or ignorant can deny that s/he is not aware of body thoughts etc.

Hope it makes sense and even if it doesn’t even then you cannot deny or lose your oceanic Awareness / Aliveness.
