FINDING NOWHERE

Legend goes that an old sage set out in search of a place called ‘Nowhere’. The said place was rumored to be magical, containing mysterious creatures, rampant with aromatic blossoming flora and it was known that whoever reaches this place at dawn, walking for at least four miles barefoot, got to see the face of God. What the sage didn’t know was that the place held a secret. No physical plane could define it, no map could place it and no mortal had ever been there. The unaware sage started charting his course unfazed, asking about the directions from the oldest and the wisest. It was during this course that he came across a mystifying young man who claimed that he has not only been there but also felt God. Though very young age-wise, this boy exuded a heavenly charm. His ever-glowing face held an angelic impression. It was later revealed to the old sage that this young monk was held in the highest regards amongst the elites.  Wasting any more time, the old sage thought, was not advisable. “So where is it?”, he frantically asked the young man. The monk simply smiled. Looking at the sage’s desperation, he replied, “The secret is contained in just three words: Close your eyes.” And as the sage closed his eyes, the young monk’s blessed presence transported him to a different level altogether. He felt love and for the first time, understood it.

Love is the language of God. To find the eternal truth, all we have to do is look deep within. We are a prototype of the universe, for the human body is structurally and symmetrically aligned with the vast, misty face of the universe and the functioning tallies with the way God runs this show called the world. The only action that needs to be checked is that our thoughts, words and actions should be in a quiet harmony with each other. Only then will the truth reveal itself.
