Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 *The PreciousGift * <http://www.inspirationpeak.com/share-a-story.html> Once upon a time, when God had finished making the world, he wanted to leave behind a piece of His own divinity, a spark of His essence, a promise to man of what he could become, with effort. He looked for a place to hide this precious gift because, He explained, what man could find too easily would never be valued by him. " Then you must hide this gift on the highest mountain peak on earth, " said one of his counselors. God shook His head, " No, for man is an adventuresome creature and he will soon enough learn to climb the highest mountain peaks. " " Hide it then, O Great One, in the depths of the earth. " " I think not, " said God. " for man will one day discover that he can dig into the deepest parts of the earth. " " In the middle of the ocean then, Master? " God shook His head. " I've given man a brain, you see, and one day he'll learn to build ships and cross the mightiest oceans. " " Where then, Master? " cried His counselors. *God smiled, " I'll hide it where every man and woman will be able to find it if they look sincerely and deeply enough. I'll hide it in their heart. " * *-- -- *Arise Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached. Swami Vivekananda OM GURU NATHA SAI GURU NATHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
