Wow! How deep is this!!??
I was totally touched by this beautiful, deep, very introspective piece of writing that I came across recently, which I thought I had to share; It's a twins conversation in their mother's womb, which was originally posted in Hungarian by Útmutató a Léleknek, and translated by Miranda Linda Weisz.
This will definitely leave you thinking deep. Such a great analogy! I personally found it simple, but yet a powerful metaphor
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 has 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 you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can
hear Her loving voice, calling down from above. - Útmutató a Léleknek.
What do you think about this? I personally had never thought of life in such a perspective? So what say you? Feel free to share this article via the share buttons below, and your thoughts on the comment section.
