The Secret of Life | 生命的奥秘

English Original

As the Lord God was creating the world, he called upon his archangels. The Lord asked his archangels to help him decide where to put the Secret of Life.

"Bury it in the ground," one angel replied.

"Hide it in the mountains," another suggested.

The Lord replied, "If I do any of those, only a few will find the Secret of Life. The Secret of Life must be accessible to EVERYONE!"

One angel replied, "I know: put it in each person's heart. Nobody will think to look there."

"Yes!" said the Lord. "Within each one's heart."

And so it was — The SECRET OF LIFE lies within all of us.


中文翻译

当主神创造世界时,他召集了他的大天使们。主神请大天使们帮他决定将“生命的奥秘”置于何处。

“把它埋在地下,”一位天使答道。

“把它藏在深山里,”另一位天使建议。

主神回答说:“如果我那么做,只有少数人能发现生命的奥秘。生命的奥秘必须让‘每个人’都能触及!”

一位天使答道:“我知道了:把它放进每个人的心里。没有人会想到去那里寻找。”

“是的!”主神说。“就在每个人的心里。”

于是就这样定了——生命的奥秘存在于我们每个人的内心。
