relevant to the previous post is called a sequel, then this post is a sequel to
my previous post called ‘you know’. By the way 'you know'
is not the post's name, my dear reader. I have followed the standard
convention for naming the sequel. To see my previous post click here.

the
whiskey,the karma and the empty vessel - 2
(Rerouting
to the past, through the eyes of Srishti)
Continuing from the last line...
What is Karma, the k thing?
Its very simple. When you
substitute a mice in testing a fertility drug, and unfortunately it
turns you impotent. Now you are in a no position to produce your offspring..
Here, you can neither sue the scientist nor your fate.
You become helpless, vexed and
depressed without venting out the rot feelings. To help humans with this
kind of difficult situation where no one could be blamed, some impressive
forefather of us created a mystic yet believable thing and named it
as ‘karma’.
Assuming Darwin's hypothesis true,
if you date back on the scale of evolution, its logical that at some point
Apes, Ape man and Homosapien(man)- all three of them -coexisted. How would be
man who freshly baked from the ape factory by the time machine
be? .Undoubtedly wild. Our fore fathers ran everywhere
in bewilderment discovering a new feeling because of their
improved sixth sense!
When this process continued for
sometime, there evolved a pact of uncouth, wild people whom today's
science call 'early man'. He discovered fire and mend it for cooking. He
churned soils for food. Turned stones to weapon, leaves to cloth and more and
more as his intellect began to develop; however, to the glory of the nature,
this rate of enlightenment wasn't uniform among the people. Even now days not
everyone of us are Einsteins, Armstrongs and Kalams
at the early part of our life. So, there were frequent clashes among the
tribes, adding to the furry were forest fires, dinassorus and plagues. Thus
began, the survival of the fittest- a fight for existence.
There lived some one, who was
intelligent to interpret the pattern of time and signs of evolution.From
now on ,we call him, Srishti. To save his fellow men from killing
each other, Srishti needed supremacy over them. But that
wasn't an easy job for him. Its hard to gather power over a race, which lived
wild for generations. .
One day, he was observing silence
over bark of a tree. Suddenly, from his behind he heard a
screeching noise. His heartbeat stopped for a while and for the first time he
felt a whole of adrenaline rush in his body. It increased heart rate
and sweated profusely.
It was totally a strange feeling
for Srishti to decipher. Slowly, he turned around to see the cause for
this feeling. It was a small squirrel trying to break a nut. He
sighed and laughed hardly. However, this was the first time he had encountered this
feeling, which he wasn't able to name or describe it until that day
came.
Srishti who loved peace always
enjoyed the serenity of the nature. His favorite spot is where the lake
Manasarovar springs out today. He used to sit on a particular place regularly
and witness the events. It was an extension of territorial plane
above the water. He comes there and rests himself by sitting on it; hung
his legs freely tracing the stream.
There he would patiently look at
every little thing around him.
For sometime he would glance at the
vast expanse of sky and admire the beauty of stars. And for other
time he would simply look down the lake in hope of discovering something. One
day he found, some jelly like creature inside a shell, he named it snail. And
he found fish one day, and then birds next day; this continued on and on.
Soon Srishti learned to see the
abstract patterns and able to connect them in logical way.
He questioned why birds flocking
together in particular fashion that day was different from other day. He even
noticed the shoaling of fishes were not always the same, it migrated regularly.
He realized a fire ball on the sky
raise from the east and sets in the west. During that transition he found light
evolving from dark in day was again swallowed by the dark itself in night.
He found the nights of summer are
lengthier than the nights of winter.
He thought there should be a basic
line of reasons behind every pattern..
This differentiated Srishti from
others. What he saw was an entirely new world from the rest of his mates.
His born inquisitive attitude unveiled the curtains to
knowledge. He was pampered at the school of nature. He enjoyed everything than
mercurial nature of his fellow beings. Srishti was a lover of peace and
happiness..
One winter evening, he strode along
the side of Manasarovar. The climate was nerve breaking chill and he enjoyed
it. All of a sudden the tranquility of the place was disturbed by an ear
jarring noise.
At a distance away from him, was
everyone running in unison. Srishti was surprised as that was the
first time he found his fellows united.
He noticed everyone's face.
It was glistening with pellets of sweat. All of them exhibited the
same kind of expression which Srishti impulsively related to
the feeling which he had once he was shocked by the nut breaking squirrel.
The commotion was created by a herd
of elephants. It was chasing Srishti's tribe with a great furry.
He wanted his tribe to be saved,
but how?
Within no time, tearing the ears
was the sound that was no match for the sound of shuddering thunder.
Someone rolled stones from the top
of the hill.
Elephants panicked, they dispersed
in all direction with a greater speed than his men before.
He clearly observed the pattern, it said him something about the behavior of living things.Something which would be upturning the future of all living beings, something which his later generation would be breaking their heads on.
And he found the power to
control the human race and which would change their way of living.
Want to know how fear helped
Srishti in gaining dominance over humans?
wait for the next post.
Srishti’s journey will be continued…

my next post.

Waiting is the virtue of noble
