The Legend of Ram - Sight Beyond Sight

It's not a Dream! We are Flying!!

The atmosphere inside the room was heavy and dense!

It seems as if a huge storm ravaged them all! Subhamangal closed his eyes and started praying consistently; the reason behind this was simple, he has an insight that very soon he's going to meet the devils or the angels. Dharmakhshema by nature is a reticent person; in the present scenario, he's speechless. Since the levitation of the ship, no one recalls that he even spoke once! Ashtabasu kept staring forward astounded, but there was no 'vision' in that staring. Maharshi Valmiki is a calm, engrossed person; but at the moment he seemed to be under a hypnotic spell. Although it can be concluded that he is the only person right now in his senses. Maharshi Markendeya stepped forward and put his hand on Maharshi Valmiki's shoulder. Only then Maharshi Valmiki looked straight to him and said-

-"We are flying, Maharshi!"

-"Yes, we are, like the birds we see flying in the open sky! But are you alright?"

-"I have seen Hell many times in my miserable life Maharshi" – The old, experienced sage replied – "I am not mute out of fear; I am astounded to imagine the endless possibilities and infinite capabilities this flying chariot could bring upon humanity! This is what made me speechless. What do you call it, Maharshi Markendeya?"

-"Aircraft!' But this special type that we are currently riding on is capable of interplanetary travels, so we call these 'Spaceships'. Aircraft are relatively smaller in size and with it, one may travel anywhere only within the atmosphere of a particular planet. I used to come in your place to meet you with the aid of an Aircraft, Maharshi Valmiki."

-"Atop the hill, I discovered some burned spots surrounding the ship, Maharshi Markendeya! Though I hoped for an automated chariot on the ground, capable to ride on Hills; never imagined a self-propelled flying vehicle it is!"

Maharshi Valmiki then thought of something with his face down, and then he looked up at Maharshi Markendeya and said-

-"From now on, I named all of these flying chariots as 'Vimana'!"

-"' Vimana'?"

-"Which has no analogy, no likeliness. Which is unique of its kind. The ship that will sail through the air at ease. Today your vehicle made me speechless! A vehicle levitated off the ground and travelling in the stars; which has a fiery tail at its rear; how to define this vehicle in a single word? Would you like to suggest?"

-"But there no such speciali- Let me make you understand how it works. To be lifted off, it requires a thrust, in turn, power for that thrust. Mercury supplies that tremendous power. These large wheels are realigned from vertical to a horizontal position with the aid of that power, and with the help of it, they start rotating tremendously both in opposite angular motion. Now when these two wheels keep rotating in opposite directions, that results in a combined force which is just opposite to the force of gravity. Once the sufficient force is created, it predates over and slowly the necessity of combustion of Mercury reduces gradually and at last, it goes off. Once this ship reaches to the outer atmosphere, gradually it makes usage of dark particles which is scattered around the universe. Then-"

-"Technological descriptions are useless to us, Maharshi. We are the apprentices of Arts; Science is still young for us to take over. Whatever from now on, I will be calling them 'Vimana'. Now the question is, where are we going?"

-"To meet 'Kaalatit', Maharshi!"

-"Understood, and never understood. Why does he need me?"

This question made Maharshi Markendeya go serious instantaneously. He gone mute for some moments, thinks something in his mind and at last, he replied-

-"The need is way bigger than you think, Maharshi!! You will be detailed soon. But it seems that your verve in Literature is required to save humanity. The inner quality of yours is necessary to create a warning in the form of literature, which should be serving as a protecting shield such that these selfish human species do not destroy each other before their time. Something should be done in order to steer away the imminent danger to protect humanity."

-"What is it supposed to mean??"

-"Humanity needs an armour, Maharshi Valmiki! No, I am not talking about any advanced weapon; Humans will always be smart and innovative enough to create an advanced one and kill each other without a reason. They don't have a need of that and their insatiable lust for blood will last forever, trust me! Else, we want to provide them with the conscience that will guide them to their proper destiny. That is why we will be needing something related to Art, literature perhaps, that is going to stay for eternity, throughout ages. It will break the barrier of centuries and millennia across, and it is supposed to remind humans about their duties forever. O' greatest of all sages of all the time, only you are empowered with the ability to make that impossible possible... Yes, Subha! What do you want to know?"

Subhamangal raised his hand in the middle of the speech; on asking he's gone out of his nerves a little, scratched his head for sometimes and then finally asked-

-"Do we have to do it ...err...'Kalotit'...eh...whatever, in front of him?"

Both the Maharshi laughed aloud; they could understand the reason behind this question. Then Maharshi Markendeya replied-

-"No, you can do the job at your own places; however if you are such eager to do that in front of 'Kaalatit' then a special arrangement could be made I guess.."

This made Subhamangal have his seat in rush, without asking anything, anymore. The spaceship kept flying to its destiny as it is...
