In a mother's womb were two babies. One asked the other:
"Do you believe in life after delivery?"
The other replies, "why, of course. There has to be something after
delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.
"Nonsense," says the other. "There is no life after
delivery. What would that life be?"
"I don't know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we
will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths."
The other says "This is absurd! Walking is impossible. And eat with
our mouths? Ridiculous. The umbilical cord supplies nutrition. Life after
delivery is to be excluded. The umbilical cord is too short."
"I think there is something and maybe it's different than it is
here." the other replies,
"No one has ever come back from there. Delivery is the end of life,
and in the after-delivery it is nothing but darkness and anxiety and it takes
us nowhere."
"Well, I don't know," says the other, "but certainly we
will see mother and she will take care of us."
"Mother??" You believe in mother? Where is she now?
"She is all around us. It is in her that we live. Without her there
would not be this world."
"I don't see her, so it's only logical that she doesn't
exist."
To which the other replied, "sometimes when you're in silence you
can hear her, you can perceive her." I believe there is a reality after
delivery and we are here to prepare ourselves for that reality.
Does this sound like a familiar conversation to you between those who
after being born into this world live their lives for themselves and those who
believe in God and eternity.
Which of the babies are you? Don't wait to die before you realize that
you were wrong.
