Day Ten: 4 pm
Today we were returning from our trip…Many
incidents happened on day 7th, 8th and 9th. Lots of emotions were experienced by all…I
noticed everything – yet I felt nothing.
I had been a mere witness. From that day till today, I was lost to
myself. I had been a living state of
ecstasy all though. I once had asked
her “It seems next to impossible to experience Being-ness. Is there a easier way?”
My guru smiled and said “Just let your ego take a
back-seat and just sit in your Guru’s presence, you’ll experience
‘Blissfulness” and experience “Being-ness”.
She was so right….
I experienced that in this trip for the last 2-3
days. I did nothing to experience
that. She did nothing much. But, her mere presence gave me that
experience I looked at others. They were
still in the world of good and bad, right and wrong. They didn’t receive this grace.
I pitied them. They lost out on
a wonderful opportunity. Rahul and Aziz
had often talked about it hinting “Just be with her, you’ll have such wonderful
experiences.” Today, I know what they
meant.
She was available to all in the trip, yet they
didn’t receive her.
I was thankful to her for this experience. I went and sat beside her and asked “Did you
enjoy the travel?”
“No, I didn’t travel. I thoroughly enjoyed this journey” she replied.
“But, what’s the difference?” I asked a bit
surprised.
“A restless person and an empty mind and heart
travel. It’s like trying to run away
from emptiness. One comes back exhausted and feels just the same miserable way
one feels at the start of the travel. But, a person who is already happy
doesn’t go searching for it elsewhere.
Whether one travels or not, he is either way happy. This person when goes visiting places
journeys within and becomes richer with experiences. Such a trip is called a
journey.
Our bus came to a halt and it was time to go back
to our emptiness and who experienced the travel was the question I need to ask
and find from others. But that would be another day. Now, all I needed was a hot bath and to feel the softness of my
bed………

Was great reading about your journey. If only we think of journeys and not ravel, every trip to work and back would also be a lot more enriching.
Have a question for you - Is there something called the last birth? After which a person is not born anymore?
