An immense expanse of empty darkness… dotted with tiny infinitesimal sparks of light. Yet as we draw closer, each tiny spark grows into a magnificent gigantic sun of light… burning itself away and spreading light into nothingness… Inconceivable distances… between these powerhouses of energy…and as we move farther… each sun fades away into oblivion…
We move in towards one of them… quite small by the celestial standards of the universe. And lo… there are some tiny non luminescent specks moving around this one… we are drawn… irresistibly pulled towards these tiny moving blobs of matter shooting across space on mindless orbits journeying around their sun. One of them catches our interest… bluish green…and incredibly beautiful… we move closer and closer…
A huge globe of matter… thriving with life… millions of life forms… some creep, some crawl… some swim and some fly… some run around and some do all of it… a life begins, and there is a busy schedule of sustaining life…expending energy to find out fresh energy…gathering food, eating, recreation and then resting…sleeping… and along the way growing, reproducing, decaying and dying…
There is one life form that is very decided about itself… it finds meanings… what is life all about? Who are we? What is life? Is there a creator? Can we know anything more? And then this group continues to indulge in its existential play of life and death.
Aha, self worth! I, me and mine! Wars and battles… victories and defeats… yearning to leave a worthwhile legacy… attempting to leave indelible marks on the infinity of the universe and the eternity of time…
Building giant skyscrapers (that look towering from the ground but invisibly tiny when viewed from beyond the clouds)… voyages across seas… climbing the highest mountains and putting a flag marking the conquest of mind over matter…
And watch on… so wrapped up in itself, admiring its own beauty and strength, wanting to impress others, seeking love, respect… pleasure above all… and avoiding that which is unpleasant and causes pain…incessantly bubbling fountain of life…
How engrossing! Tiny indivisible specks of consciousness donning the garbs of matter, playing inconceivably diverse roles… busy busy busy…
And then it happens. One speck of consciousness … whose mind stays constantly in the timeless realm…whose intellect is fully aware of the entirety of this immense drama…whose personality is constantly wise, benevolent and beautiful… this speck… traverses all of space… at the speed of thought… on a mission to reset the entire drama that is constantly manifesting itself.
What a glorious Drama!
