                                         Upon 91
            According to an old Hindu legend...

..there was once a time when all human beings were gods, but
they so abused their divinity that Brahma, the chief god, decided
to take it away from them and hide it where it could never be
found.

Where to hide their divinity was the question. So Brahma called a
council of the gods to help him decide. "Let's bury it deep in the
earth," said the gods. But Brahma answered, "No, that will not do
because humans will dig into the earth and find it." Then the gods
said, "Let's sink it in the deepest ocean." But Brahma said, "No,
not there, for they will learn to dive into the ocean and will find it."
Then the gods said, "Let's take it to the top of the highest
mountain and hide it there." But once again Brahma replied, "No,
that will not do either, because they will eventually climb every
mountain and once again take up their divinity." Then the gods
gave up and said, "We do not know where to hide it, because it
seems that there is no place on earth or in the sea that human
beings will not eventually reach."

Brahma thought for a long time and then said, "Here is what we
will do. We will hide their divinity deep in the center of their own
being, for humans will never think to look for it there."

All the gods agreed that this was the perfect hiding place, and the
deed was done. And since that time humans have been going up
and down the earth, digging, diving, climbing, and exploring--
searching for something already within themselves.

                      Einstein's Chauffer!

This is a true life anecdote about Albert Einstein, and his theory of
relativity.

After having propounded his famous theory, Albert Einstein toured the
various Universities in the United States, delivering lectures wherever he
went. He was always accompanied by his faithful chauffer, Harry, who
would attend each of these lectures while seated in the back row! One fine
day, after Einstein had finished a lecture and was coming out of the
auditorium into his vehicle, Harry addresses him and says, "Professor
Einstein, I've heard your lecture on Relativity so many times, that if I
were ever given the opportunity, I would be able to deliver it to perfection
myself!"

"Very well," replied Einstein, "I'm going to Dartmouth next week. They
don't know me there. You can deliver the lecture as Einstein, and I'll take
your place as Harry!"

And so it went to be... Harry delivered the lecture to perfection, without a
word out of place, while Einstein sat in the back row playing "chauffer",
and enjoying a snooze for a change.

Just as Harry was descending from the podium, however, one of the
research assistants intercepted him, and began to ask him a question on
the theory of relativity.... one that involved a lot of complex calculations
and equations. Harry replied to the assistant "The answer to this
question is very simple! In fact, it's so simple, that I'm going to let my
chauffer answer it!"
