“The spark divine dwells in thee: let it grow.” ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

           The Precious Gift 

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 counsellors.

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 counsellors.

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."

“In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.” ~Swami Vivekananda

 P.S: The Divine lives in each one of us.It is a pity that most of us, spend the better part of our lives searching outside for that which is within us.
We need to choose to look within or go without ever finding it.
Namaste,
Bhagya
