A man was lost in the mountains. He found a sage meditating on a hill. Approaching, he asked, “I’m lost, can you help me find my way?” He showed the sage a map in the hope of receiving directions. The sage opened his eyes. “A map… Shows you an entire country, even the world. But this map itself exists here, on this mountain, lost as much as you are.” The man opened his mouth to speak, but the sage continued. “Don’t you think it strange? How the Human Soul exists in one lifetime at any given moment in time, in one body during that time, and in one place. The place may change depending on your movements, yet you yourself remain the same no matter where you go. And isn’t it even stranger? Like this map, inside your Human Soul is contained nations and worlds. Inside you resides Eternity.” The lost man looked even more lost. “You are, at this moment in time, both lost and found. Find what meaning you can in that.”
