I came across this recently and really liked it.
There’s a Hindu legend about a time when all humans were gods, but they abused that divinity. They so abused it that Brahma the chief god decided to take it away from them and hide it where they would never find it again. Where to hide it became the big question. And the lesser gods were called into council to consider this question: ‘We will bury humans’ divinity deep in the earth, but Brahma the supreme god said ‘No that will not do: they will dig down deep into the earth and will find it.’ Then they said ‘Well we will sink their divinity into the deepest ocean.’ But again Brahma replied ‘No, not there, for they will learn to dive into the deepest waters, and search the ocean bed and find it.’ Then the lesser gods said, ‘We will take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there.’ But again Brahma replied, ‘No, for eventually humans will climb every high mountain on earth: they’ll be sure some day to find it and take it up again…’ Then the lesser gods gave up and concluded ‘We do not know where to hide it, for it seems there is no place on the earth or in the sea that humans will not eventually reach.’ Then Brahma said, ‘Here is what we will do with humans’ divinity: we will hide it deep down in humans themselves: they will never think to look for it there.’ Ever since then, the legend concludes, humans have been going to and fro throughout the earth, climbing, digging, diving, exploring, searching for something that’s already within us.
