A 23 Minute Epic Journey

A journey through ends of nature, a journey through space and time. First came the dense tropical forests. Such green and lush, actually the green and the red looked so saturated, completely popping out in the blue of the sky. The trees were so huge and seemed like a giants swooping down to provide shadow to all. The journey through them was just breathtaking.

Then came the hot barren vast expanse of desert. The sun clamoring down upon us with intense hot winds, sand and smoke blowing all around. It was tuff surviving through all that, but we somehow managed to escape.

Then out of nowhere came the vast open plains and endless pastures. So beautiful but occasionally the  twisted wires and ropes happened to separated us from the pastures.  

Just then we entered a cave. Dark and cool.. beautiful and Silent. But it was short. The journey seemed endless, not willing to give up.

We wandered for some more time only to enter the chilling world of the poles. It was blue and white everywhere I looked. So Cold and majestic it was.

It seemed that a Mahayug had gone in this journey. A epic journey through silence of peace and clamor of ignorance.

We were now just waiting to get elevated into the skies. It was a long long wait… one which seemed to be endless and eternal wait. It’s not easy to get elevated beyond this realm of reality and we truly experienced it. Another Mahayug had seemed to cross by then.

But finally the cylindrical glittering saucer appeared and propelled us in the skies. Floating up in the skies I heard a beep and then finally realized that I had reached my office. A 23 minutes of epic journey from Hoodi circle to ITPL had finally ended.......!!!

तत् त्वम् असि: Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda

"Mit jaate hain

Sabke nishaan

Bas ek woh mit-ta nahi hain

Maan le jo har mushkil ko,  Marzi meri

Ho humsafar na tera jab koi

Tu ho jahan, rahoonga main wahi

tujhse kabhi na ek pal bhi main juda

Tu na jaane aas pass hain khuda...."

These words for me explains EVERYTHING..!! The so called modern Science can create theorems and equations..Physics, Chemistry  and Biology but all of this put together can not explain the world any better than what the poets has here,  so eloquently put.. so poetic yet containing such profound scientific meanings.

I hope to understand these couple of paragraphs some day in my life.. and that would be the day I will look through the veil of Ignorance.

Going Beyond...

I have my eyes closed and can feel my heart beating. Beating in almost syncrony to my breath. I see a huge ball of mass,   almost a planet of huge size with a even more humongous disk of ice and rock rotating around it. I see a star.. bright ..really bright. Its rays reaching far and wide in the dark deep infinity of cosmos. It seemed like a bright torch in the dark.


Just then I notice a small pair of glittering golden wings fluttering in the emptiness of space.. gliding past this mammoth effortlessly. It paid no attention to this giant beauty instead flying nonchalantly..!!
This was a heavenly sight.. one that I would never forget....

What I have drawn here does no justice to what  I had seen. I even tried using crayon.. but still no where close. I guess I will try oil paint now to capture the beauty I had seen.

The Trance within....

Silence is what I breathe in and breathe out. What lied in front was darkness and what lied behind was darkness as well. It seemed there was no ambient noise and felt as if I was within a void. Heart beat was steadily rising and could feel its rhythm. The beats of a “damru” and the pulse of the nerves were nearing the same. But soon numbness set into my feet and there was this strange tingling in them. 

I started feeling lighter and seemed to be vibrating with the energy. A strong gush of wind blew past me and I felt as if I was blown away in the emptiness of space. I truly felt as if I was defying laws of gravity, probably Mr. Newton may not be exactly elated at it (in the heaven or may be in hell.. who knows..!!!). What I experienced next was incredible. All of a sudden, felt a sharp momentum and started spinning about a thin beam of light. It was really fast and I felt more than a touch dizzy. I was spinning faster and faster in the that void.

After some time the dizziness and the anxiety gave way to tranquility and calmness. It seemed that I was now rotating about a longer radius at lesser speeds. I could very well be moving on the surface of ellipsoid. The beam of light then just vanished, with me being lost in the nothingness of void. That is all I can recollect before coming out of the trance by the loud ring of my cell phone (damn)..!!!

But question is, did the cell phone wake me up from a dream or did it put me into a dream..!! I guess the state of trance just dissolved the line between a dream and the non dream, or may there may be none.
