A sacred tale in the Hindu religion tells us that in the old days, way before our time, people were all Gods. But unfortunately, they very badly misused their Divinity. That's why Brahma, the Upper-God, decided to terminate their Divinity and to hide it in a place not to be found.
The problem was to choose a suitable place. When the
Half-Gods gathered to solve this problem, they proposed: 'Let us bury the
Divinity of man in the Earth'
But
Brahma answered: 'No, this won't be sufficient because mankind will dig deep
and discover this Divinity anew'. The Half-Gods than found another place.
'Let's sink the Divinity into the deepest ocean on Earth'. But Brahma also
held back on this idea and responded: 'No, because sooner or later, mankind
will dive into the deepest places in all the oceans and will certainly find
the Divinity'.
The Half-Gods didn't have any further clue how to solve this problem. They exclaimed: 'There's nowhere on Earth a place this Divinity can be successfully hidden, as man will climb the mountains, dig into the ground and dive deep in the oceans. There is no place where humankind's curiosity will not search'.
And Brahma answered: 'This is what we'll do: we will hide it in the deepest part of man himself, because this is the only place where man will never look'. Since then, humankind has criss-crossed the Earth, dived, dug and explored every inch of the Earth, searching for something that can only be found deep in himself.
