🔱Mahayudh: War For Balance🔱

41. Imprisoned Light

🔱

The eternal cosmic ocean was spread all around them and somewhere in between it, Mrityunjay sat with an identical image of himself. Not an image.............it him only!

They both gazed at each other with neutral expressions.

Neutrality. That is what he likes the most. Because it enables the soul to accept whatever comes in the way- good or bad. 

Everything is acceptable. That is because every truth and every lie came into existence from one eternal truth. What was that truth, is a mystery to him. But he accepts it whole heartedly. 

The initial years of existence were spent by him only wondering why is he so different from others. But as the world unfolded itself more and more to him and as he began freeing himself up from these little ropes of unnecessary confusions, the question changed. Now the question was- why are all others so similar to each other? 

They never embrace the small small happiness of life. They always complain. They are never satisfied with what they have. They often aim to degrade others. They harm their bodies through pleasures that are not actually pleasures but just an illusion of their mind. And the list goes on and on. Therefore, their pain never ends.

'Bhram' and 'Brahm' are two different things and he understood that he was a freak because he focused on 'Brahm' while other nurtured their 'Bhram'

So he devoted all his life to one goal- to become one with Parambrahm- the supreme and eternal being who fathered and mothered each and every particle of existence. For he wanted to become something and yet remain nothing.

Till today he doesn't know if the goal has been achieved or not. But he has learned this that the storm of trial, speaks in our ear a lesson, which is far much greater than the trial itself. He left the body made of 5 elements without actually leaving it. He gained so much without actually gaining and he lost so much without actually losing.

His being was in complete balance with the supreme being. He was complete.

Or was he?

'Tum apoorn ho.' (You are incomplete) the voice of the Mrityunjay who sat infront of him, vibrated through the cosmic ocean and reached him. 

'Mai poorn hoon' (I am complete) he replied without even opening his mouth and yet his voice vibrated through the space.

'Swayam se asatya bolna ksbse prarambh kr diya tumne?' (When did you learn lying from your own self?) the other one asked.

'Yhi satya hai.' (This is the truth) Mrityunjay replied coldly.

And then he saw the lips of the other one being lifted up in a mocking smirk. The smirk stayed there while his voice vibrated through the space.

'Satya toh ye hai ke tum ek SHAV ho.............Ek shakti-heen Shav!' (The truth is that you are a SHAV.........just a powerless shav!)

***************************

Mrityunjay opened his eyes and sat up. It took him sometime to realize the difference between his dream and reality. He took in his surroundings.

He was lying on the shore of a big lake with vegetation grown all around it. There was no one there except him. His eyes worried searched for his companions but to his fear they were no where to be seen.

A movement in the lake caught his eyes and he saw a man emerging from the water of the lake. His back was facing him. His half body still submerged in the water from waist below, his shoulder length hair falling freely on hi shoulders and body built like a warrior.
