The secret of Life

A story told in India about an argument among the gods as to where to hide the secret of life so that men and women cannot find it:

Bury it under a mountain, one god suggested, they’ll never find it there.
No, the others countered, one day they will find a way to dig up the mountain and uncover the secret of life.
Put it in the depths of the deepest ocean, another god suggested, it will be safe there.
No, said the others, some day humankind will find a way to travel to the depths of the ocean and will find it.
Put it inside them, another god said, men and women will never think of looking for it there.
All the gods agreed, and so it is said the gods hid the secret of life within us.

Well, let’s look for it!
