A Mans Divinity

An old Hindu legend says there was a time when men were gods. But
 they
> abused their divine powers so much that Brahma, the master of all
 gods,
> decided to take these powers away and hide them in a place where they
> would be impossible to find. All that remained was to find a suitable
> hiding place.
> 
> A number of lesser gods were appointed to a council to deal with the
> issue. They suggested this: "Why not bury man's powers in the earth?"
 To
> which Brahma replied, " No, that will not do because man would dig
 deep
> and find it."
> 
> So the gods said, "In that case, we will send their divinity to the
> deepest depths of the ocean"
> 
> But Brahma replied again, "Sooner or later man will explore the
 depths of
> the ocean and it is certain he will find it and bring it to the
 surface."
> 
> So the lesser gods concluded, "Neither land nor sea is a place where
 man's
> divine powers will be safe, so we do not know where to hide it."
> 
> At that moment Brahma exclaimed, "This is what we will do with man's
> divinity! We will hide it deep within him because that is the only
 place
> he will not think to look."
> 
> From then on, according to the legend, man searched the world over;
 he
> explored, climbed, dove, and dug in search of something that was
 inside
> himself the whole time.
