I did not know who I was, till I saw it in another

A child of eight years old, hiked up into the Himalayas to see this holy man.

The holy man looked at him and said "Why have you come all this way, to see who am I?

I am no other than you".

For years that reply haunted that child-that question-because he thought there was an answer to it.

It finally dawned on him

and he said," I did not know who I was, until I could see it in another".
