Scenes from the Vision of NN

Written and published for a Yoga Journal in 2012. This is an unedited version. My first draft! Meditation is a widely popular word these days. In this era of busy external and social media life Meditation definitely, stands as a unique aspect of not letting your being gets entangled with the hectic and distracting outer world. Meditation in the real world has no easily understandable meaning. We might consider it as contemplation or concentration but in reality, meditation is totally different compared to these terms.  Meditation means being aware of that tiniest phase or moment which exists between two thoughts. It is not easy to understand and even to apply it practically will take a lot of time. The reason is to be able to meditate, you require a basic understanding and control of three aspects of yourself. The three aspects of yourself are Body, Breathing process and Mind. When you gain control over these three aspects then only you will be able to dive deeply into deep m...

And the eyes opened because of the sudden jerk felt inside. The flight goes through some disturbances because of the heavy rainfall in the city. The tiny water droplets on the windows of the airplane depicted an artist trying to mark the empty canvas with its deeper desire. i.e to recreate. People around were dozing off.  When I looked outside the window, all I found were clouds. Dark and Light. White and Black. The sky above the cloud was clear.  Blue and white. The horizon was yellowish in color. And I felt is there a horizon really? What exactly happens at the horizon? And the words of the not-so-famous iconoclast Mr. U.G Krishnamurti came in front of me. Not his words actually but what he said to someone who noted it down and published it in a book which in turn I read and stored in my memory. So that storage of letting us call it 'Page' (Read my post ' Low roar of the magician' for more information on 'Page') came up in front when I watched the horizon....

Magic, Wonder and then Neutral. When you really realize at the core of your psyche that what the hell is happening? The doer!!! Does it really exist? It does but some things are beyond its comprehension. There are many things regarding which its action, thought, emotions won't have any valid point or execution. The struggle is really unique and unconventional. Rarely a person stumbles upon this way and decides to enter the path. Whether the pointing towards the way for the specific individual is done accidentally or the individual has long struggled to stumble upon the path remains a mystery as far as this case is concerned. Also, accidental pointing seems inconceivable as the energy or beings who are existing at a higher point than the mortals humans won't or cannot act mechanically. They are way beyond in every aspect and characteristic compared to humans. But they are extremely compassionate enough for humans. Every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every w...

"You have to decide it now, the time is running. 3 months! It will pass quickly,"   said Agent Aaron to Sam looking straight into his eyes. Sam looks at his son while turning the pages of his favorite book, The World in the 20th century.  Sam turns towards Aaron. "I want him to experience what is written in this ancient literature,"   Sam spoke with a strong stubborn voice. "You will. I promise you. It is my responsibility to bring Sam back after the ceremony. After all, he is my beloved too. I have loved him as much as my own son."   replied Aaron.   Sam is lost in his thoughts. Aaron becomes impatient. "Sam, my friend! Do not get lost in people’s opinion."   He replied. "No, I am not. But I sense almost everybody cannot be wrong about this ceremony. They say some magical spells are done on the children, which makes them a sort of robot, who follows the order and whatnot. All the laws of this world are programmed into his brain. He lo...

The main pitfall we are seeing around us is the claim made by knowers! Knowership prevails in many people's lives and is a widespread phenomenon too. People love claiming to know! Even when asked about any random subject, people don’t want to come across as ignorant by saying that they do not know. “Ignorance is Bliss”, we have heard this, but never ever we have tried to apply it in our daily life.  We have seen people just nodding and saying "yes, yes" to whatever they listen to in any sort of discussion. The reason being, no one wants to look ignorant in front of anyone. The main drawback in this attitude is that you close yourself from learning anything new if you act as if you know everything. Learning starts when you realize that you really don’t know anything about a particular subject. And then the passion and desire to understand it comes into you. This results in you going to the core of that subject and getting as much information as possible.  Not kn...

He woke up as usual. After completing the morning errands he sat on the sofa. Pondering. Pondering over his decision to quit everything in his city and shift to a new place. He had some rough plans but was quite not sure which one to execute on an early basis. There was no sure short flow. He had his shower. Got dressed. Called up his colleague with whom he was traveling. While doing everything he never missed an instance to chat with Zz - the new being in his life. An aura he cannot resist. He was engrossed totally in Zz. Took an auto and reached the bus stop. As usual, he arrived before time here too which he always does whenever he has to go to someplace or meet someone. Call it his good habit or a bad one in the current world where usually people are not giving time the priority it should receive. He started listening to Ambient music from his cellphone. The chatting with Zz was going on. He called his colleague who were on the way. After putting the phone in his pocket he s...
