A long time ago, when the earth was new and all of Nature lived in truth, Human beings were able to communicate with each other with their minds. They understood the language of every other creature that moved and the ones that never moved. They could tell where to find food by smelling the air, they knew what the weather would be like by looking at the heavens. They could go where they pleased in a blink of an eye. They didnt need a fire to keep warm. But as time went by, they began to feel like they were the MOST special ones because they knew this. They began to compete and compare their powers. Gradually they built pride. Arrogance followed Pride and with Arrogance, came in Obstinacy and conflict. With arrogance fully bloomed, they began to abuse the power they had to disenfranchise the other beings and each other.
Brahma the creator(according to the Hindu Trinity)decided it was time to hide this knowledge cause it was causing more harm than harmony.So, he ordered the messenger of Gods, Narada, to find a place where the Humans will never find it. Narada, did his feasibility study and came back with this answer “Hide it in the human’s hearts”. Brahma looks at Narada, like as if he was insane… But Narada insists on it saying thats the safest place ’cause if the Humans did look in their hearts, they wouldnt abuse power to their own detriment. Brahma agrees to do so and hides all the powerful knowledge deep in the human heart. As the memory of that knowledge faded, humans began to use words to communicate, found it difficult to understand what the other creatures and the earth said. They never looked inside of themselves. As of today it still hasnt been accessed. It lies safe in our chest.

I like the story. It’s great.
Indeed, very few would want to look deep, really deep inside. We humans tend to look outward.
True. Sometimes we feel we missed something even if it is still within us,within our heart.
Lets communicate through our hearts.
I was not knowing this story, thanks for sharing…..
Sounds true to me.
This is simply beautiful and since I always benefit from being reminded of the fact that looking within is the only place to look for answers, I feel very lucky to have read this.
Thank you
That is perhaps where the ache comes from… the knowledge pleading to be remembered… this is a powerful piece… thank you for sharing
