In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked
the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”The other replied, “Why, of
course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare
ourselves for what we will be later.”
“Nonsense,” said the first. “There is no life
after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”
The second said, “I don’t know, but there will
be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our
mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”
The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is
impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies
nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life
after delivery is to be logically excluded.”
The second insisted, “Well I think there is
something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this
physical cord anymore.”
The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover, if
there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the
end of life, and in the after-delivery, there is nothing but darkness and
silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but
certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”
The first replied “Mother? You actually
believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The second said, “She is all around us. We are
surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her, this
world would not and could not exist.”
Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it
is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when
you’re in silence and you focus and listen, you can perceive Her presence, and
you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”
Maybe this was one of the best explanations of
the concept of GOD.
