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 even 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.
