Old Hindu Legend

There was once a time when all human beings were Gods; however, they so abused their divinity that Brahma decided to take away their divinity from them and hide it where it could never be found.

"The Seeker"
Where to hide their divinity was the question. So Brahma called a council of the Gods to help him decide. "Let's bury it deep in the earth," offered the Gods. But Brahma answered, "No, that will not do, because humans will dig into the earth and find it."

Then the Gods said, "Let's sink it in the deepest ocean." But Brahma responded, "No, not there, for they will learn to dive into the ocean and will find it."

Then the Gods said, "Let's take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there." But once again Brahma replied, "No, that will not do either, because they will eventually climb every mountain and once again take up their divinity."

Then the Gods gave up and lamented, "We do not know where to hide it, because it seems that there is no place on
earth or in the sea that human beings will not eventually reach."

Brahma thought for a long time. Suddenly he had an idea, "Here is what we will do. We will hide their divinity deep in the center of their own being, for humans will never think to look for it there."

All the Gods agreed that this was the perfect hiding place, and the deed was done. Since that time, humans have been going up and down and all around the earth, digging, diving, climbing and seeking -- searching for something that is already deep within themselves.

Now, we humans are far wiser than our ancestors. We know that when we look with love, deep within ourselves - all the way to the inmost recesses of our heart - we will find our own divinity-treasure: our soul. We now take back our divinity through our Soul-Power!
