Hindu tale adapted by Damien
long ago, very long, very very very long time, all men were gods. But men being what they are, at that distant time, they abused their deity. At one point that the Supreme Brahma decided wise to remove their divine power and hide in a place where they could never find it. Brahma therefore sought the perfect hideaway.
summoned Brahma Vishnu and Siva ... and other gods yet to form a divine advice to help find the perfect hideaway.
"Let's hide the divinity of the man atop the highest mountain" proposed some of them.
Brahma, in his wisdom, replied, "No, that's enough for one day, the man climb the highest mountain".
"Then bury the divinity of the man at the center of the earth" continued the gods advisers.
Brahma, in his wisdom, replied, "No, that's enough for one day, man will dig the earth, explore caves and caverns and find his divinity."
The gods began to think and reflect.
"So hide the divinity of man to the ocean floor."
Again, their Brahma replied calmly, "No, it's enough for one day, man explores the ocean floor and find his divinity."
"Then, hide the divinity of man on another planet!"
Brahma could not find the brilliant idea "No, it is insufficient because one day man will walk on the moon, sending probes to Mars, will explore the outer reaches of the universe and inevitably find his divinity. "
The gods had to admit that the problem was size. "It does not seem to place that suits ... what now?
Brahma thought for a moment and said "This is what we'll do: we will hide the divinity of man in the only place where he never thought to explore. We will place deep within himself. "
The gods approved of the choices. The solution, the gods left the meeting and returned to go about their divine and heavenly.
Indeed, since that distant time, man has never stopped exploring. He goes around the earth, he has explored all the caves and studied all the volcanoes, he dug the earth to find his wealth, he has climbed the highest peaks, he explored the ocean's deepest chasms ... he even walked on the Moon sent probes to other planets, has explored the outer reaches of the universe in search of answers, finding no other questions on its origin.
The man has taken great pains to explore everything ... Then he had to look inside himself.
