Lost Paradise

In the beginning divinity was part of our nature but as time went by we humans abused our divinity more and more till eventually the gods decided to take the divinity away from us. It fell upon Bhrahma to invoke his powers and take away our divine aspects. He did it reluctantly but once he did it he had a problem. Where is he supposed to hide this divinity so that we humans wouldn't find it again.

Vishnu said that there was no point burying it deep within Mother Earth as he was sure that no matter how deep they buried it we humans would eventually dig it out. He also said that there was no point in throwing it far into the sea as we would eventually find a way to swim out and get it. Mahesh looked at Bhrahma and Vishnu and added that there was also no point in hiding it on top of the tallest mountain as we would eventually get there too.

So all three pondered long and hard. There seemed to be no place deep enough, far enough or high enough for this divinity to be hidden safely. Suddenly Bhrahma's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "I know just the place where we can hide divinity and it will be safe there. Its safe there not because man cannot find it, its safe because he wont look for it there."

So saying, Bhrahma took the divinity and placed it deep within each man's soul.

Since that day each of us has that divinity within us that we keep looking for everywhere.
