“What
are you doing here” it asked in distress. “I am tired of looking you again
& again”. I was astonished. I just confirmed myself that it was not a
dream.
“What do you want?” it again asked I could
hear any word but I understood that it was talking to me. I politely made a
reply. “Are you talking to me?”.
“I could feel your agony. You are gazing me
for past few hours. I just wanted to know why?” moon winced at me. “Hey you,
once I read ‘The Alchemist’ the similar stuff happened to that boy named
Santiago, the wind, the water & the sun talking. Is this happening to me?”
I exclaimed. It slapped me again. “I should’ve never spoken to you this” Moon
said.
There was a silence for few minutes and I put
an end to the Silence.
“Most
of the time, when I don’t get what I solicited, I frustrate and get
disappointed. And I become doubtful, of course more doubtful towards the
existence. I wanted to feel exhilarated by this whole universe which is always
sensitive to its initial conditions. I want to be happy, contented, and high,
in tune as much as possible” I gave a sigh. It is quite strange to impart with
something that really exist. I expected moon to turn up and say something. It
did. “Fear of failures and the uncritical acceptance of defeat. Am I right?”
Moon gave a wink. I realized what my fault is. I was searching answers for the
incomplete questions. I recollected myself and said,” I really understood that
the primary aim is to be happy, feel and experience the joy. I suppose to do
what has to be done for this and I am done. Disappointment Every time! What
else had to be done?” I started shouting. Suddenly I felt a sense of glacial
feel on my foot. I looked up. I was lying in seashore. It was almost the dawn.
It was the tides.
“If your ship doesn’t come off shore, swim
out to get it!” said the Water, turning to me.
“I will not drown people who swim. I really
drown those who stand still in me” it continued. “Go forward! You’ll not be
stopped by anything except you”.
Stupendous words!
“I am not sure what the power is. I believe
that it exists!” Moon said. I asked in a confused state, what exactly these things
want me to do. Suddenly a cool breeze blew me cold. “You are an unorthodox
personality and you need to be of your own! What you needed is Happiness, Love
and Peace. You wanted to be contented but you are not. You have to be happy
with what you get. You had happiness in your hand but you were searching it all
around! Men never search the place where it exists!” The wind conveyed its
message. I started staring the moon again. It was still looking at me. I closed
my eyes. I could hear only the voices.
“It is not your job to change the world, or
the people around you. It is just to be with them. I reflect the sun to give
light at night. Though I am not as bright as sun, I can give light to your
eyes! Why can’t you reflect Love to this world? Every human believes a lie
which would blunt their minds. And the lie is, ‘There is not enough good to go
around, there is lack and there is limitations. This causes fear, greed and
stinginess. Live your life and I am going for the other side” Moon uttered its
final words and disappeared.
Tears welled in my eyes. The sun rays hit my
eyes slowly. I opened my eyes to see the Dawn! Yes. The Dawn!!!
“My Questions are Incomplete!” I realized.
“Son, I come every day. People believe
themselves that they got the answers. You too needed answers. You become
solution for you. Don’t point another person to owe you & give you more.
Instead, give more to yourself. Take time off to give to yourself in a sense to
fill yourself up to fullness. It takes Universe no time to manifest! Be real.
Be strong. The Entire Universe will re arrange itself to make it happen to you”
said the Sun at the Dawn!
I started walking back with confidence and
satisfaction. Yes, I was real! So the Entire Universe re arranged itself to
make it happen for me! I found a solution for my question. I turned back to see
the Sun. It was too shiny to be seen. I smiled at the sea. It roared with it
tides as if it is cheering me up.
Yes. No matter what the answer is, just enjoy
the questions……
