Two Blood Cellsby Swami Veda
Once upon a time two blood cells in a person’s body each developed into a genius. One became an inspired mystic and philosopher while one became a cynical scientist. The blood cell that had become a mystic stood by the walls of an artery and announced, “Fellow cells, harken! I must share with you a great vision I have been granted. We are not all apart, each cell having a separate life of its own. There is a great omnipresent being whose life force we share, from whom we are born, in whom we dwell, and into whom we each finally dissolve. Though the individual cell may die, life continues in that great being. That great one is so vast that billions of us all cannot fathom his greatness. None of us can comprehend all his thoughts, knowledge and action. This being is called man.” The blood cell that had become a scientist scowled and jeered and taunted, challenging the mystic, and saying, “What a visionary you are, talking without proof! Where is this great being you call man? Look around you, fellow cells, do you see any such being? Mr. Mystic, can you show us this man?” Is there any way the blood cells in that artery can see man? Could they imagine human activities such as writing this book or reading it? But even though each cell has a little life of its own, they all share collectively, by a thread unknown to them, in the life force of the person in whom they are joined. So it is with our individual lives in God.
