Do you know that old Hindu legend which tells that there was a time when all men were gods.
They abused their power so much that Brahma, the lord of the gods, decided to deprive them of this divine power and hide in a place where it would be impossible to find.
The big problem was therefore to find a hiding place.
The minor gods were summoned by Brahma to solve this problem, they proposed to bury the divinity of the man in the land.
But Brahma replied: "No, it does not, for man will dig and find it."
Then the gods replied: "In this case, let the divinity into the deepest ocean."
But Brahma replied again: "No, because sooner or later man will explore the depths of all oceans, and it is certain that one day he will find and ascend to the surface."
After several reflections Brahma said: "This is what we will do the divinity of man: we hide deep within himself, because it is the only place he will never think to look."
Since that time, the legend says that man has gone round the earth, he has explored, climbed, dived and dug in search of something that is in him.
