Shantaram Discussion

Finally one topic which caught my attention...

Page 373 Johny Cigar and Lin are sitting near a beach in Mumbai.

The discussion that the had or rather I should say the commentary that Johny Cigar gave was one of the most amazing thoughts that I have ever heard.

He begins by saying that "It is very beautiful isn't it?" (referring to the sea). then when Lin agrees with him he goes on talking about sea.

He says that "Our life probably began inside of the ocean, about four thousand million years ago. Then he says how gradually man started living on earth. But in a way you can say that after leaving the sea, after all those millions of years of living inside sea, we took the sea with us. When a woman makes a baby, she gives it water, inside her body, to grow us. That water inside her body is almost exactly the same as the water of the sea. He goes on and says a lady makes a little sea inside her body and not only this our blood and sweat are noth salty just like th water from the sea and even our tears."

Now this was one hell of a statement, I thought a lot about it and the more I thought the more I found truth in it. It is such a simple thing which I never thought of.

It is such a profound thought about our existence and evolution which I have not seen anyone discussion.

I would love to know what people think about this theory or I must say corollary.
