NEITHER HERE NOR THERE!!!

 "“When someone seeks,then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing because he always thinks only about the thing he is seeking, because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal."~Siddhartha by Herman Hesse.

Amidst the pandemic where everyone battles uncertainty ,he still saw the sun shining, the moon waning and the sea soaring.The deadly silence of the river moved like serpent carrying the legacy of stories hidden by the froth of toxic waste.River Yamuna has changed.This wasn't the river he used to row through. But still, the sun ,the moon and the sea are the same.The curious spread of Corona never bothered him, for he understands the punctuations of the poem called -Life.All that he worried about was the intermediate interactions whose nature has bygone since ages.He felt congestive as his mind ached with the overcrowded thoughts.

Far from the corner came a lady.She appeared to be soaked in the wisdom of time.With nowhere to search, he spurted across the lady's pathway and asked,"If death is the unavoidable constant, why do the variables in life affect humans?".The lady smiled and replied,"To determine the effect, you need to understand the cause.The effect of constant, though undeniable, has a resonance based on the combination of variables you ought to choose."

Though half heartedly, the young man agreed to the reply, he asked,"Isn't time the binding entity of all causalities.?I cannot outlive that, right?So how do my intermediate interactions cause a resonation during my life?".

The lady pointed towards the fag end of the river and asked,"Do you see the river there?'

"Yes,I do."

The lady picked up a stone and flung it to the maximum distance and asked,"Do you still see the river?"

"Yes,I do!!"

The lady came near the young man and asked "Do you see the stone that caused a resonation in the path?"

"No.".

"But you said, you saw the river? How could you not see the resonance it showed there?"

"How could I see that from here?.You flung the stone so far in the river.It would have caused ripples only on its impulse point.There's no chance that the effect of resonance be carried throughout"-replied the man.

"Rightly said son.The river resonated within and rippled outwardly.To understand the effect of this resonance, you be free from the froth of desire that clouds you.The river resonates neither there nor here but everywhere."

"In an undying entity of time where the only constant is death, resonate with the variables that you are blessed with by nature.And to resonate, you be everywhere, bound neither here nor there.Be blessed and beyond dear son",said the lady walking away.

He saw the silent river running now like a millipede precariously dancing to tune of its "free willed" legs.And the red moon flamed the sky on the night of Buddha Purnima.He was neither there nor here but everywhere.
