Secret of Life: An Old Story



There was once an argument among the gods over where to hide the secret of life so that men and women would not find it. One god said: Bury it under a mountain; they will never look there. No, the others said, one day they will find ways to dig up mountains and will uncover it. Another said : Sink it in the depths of the ocean; it will be safe there. No the others objected, humans will one day find a way to plumb the ocean's depths and find it easily. Finally another god said: Put it inside them; men and women will never think of looking for it there. All the gods agreed, and so that is how the secret of life came to be hidden within us.

Yes. Very well said. In this world, there is mind and there is matter. The formula of understanding the nature is there in understanding the mind i.e. looking within ourselves. Einstein did so much work in his life, found so many theories, but he did not do a single experiment. All was his mental work, his mental imagination and the inner intuition. He only said - "Imagination is more important than knowledge"
