My friend Anish and I chat for long hours and this has become our daily ritual. Even amidst our busy schedules we squeeze out time to enquire how the other was. Our chats vary from music to latest movies, books or anecdotes of our school days. We talk of life and the world or sometimes I simply whine about my monotonous college life and he grumbles about his berserk teachers. It’s always a delight to talk to him. But our last night’s conversation left me a little perturbed. Earlier he had mentioned a book named “Celestine Prophecy” (which I hadn’t heard about). So I asked him to brief it to me till I could get my hands on it!!! What he told, baffled me and urged me to search for the book or all I could about it. And I came across some boggling facts. Things which often applauded my science, my reasoning were getting blurry with each word my mind registered as my eyes slap-dashed the pages. Some bells rung as I contemplated on what I had accumulated in the past few minutes and started scribbling. What the Celestine Prophecy and similar books on religion, spirituality declare applauds our past, a past which I had often mistaken as fiction or magic. But if one takes a closer look at these books... The Bible, The Gita, The Quran.... they all hold the answers to our untold queries. When I was a kid I used to watch Mahabharata and Ramayana in the television. What eluded me the most was the immense power these rishis and the prominent characters possessed. As a kid I wanted to compass similar powers. But as time grew on me I started to think that they were fictional because the evidences placed before me by my counterparts failed to impress me. But in the recent years sciences’ progress and attempt to challenge the minds of people like me restored my faith in the implausible power of those people. One thing which I had learnt is... our traditions, our customs, our religion.....is SCIENCE. All those people who possessed such inconceivable powers in ancient times had one thing in common and that is incredible control of their mind and spirit. Noetic science upholds the same. What really amuses me is the fact that man thinks he is in the most scientifically advanced era ever but science has failed him to comprehend the truth of life!!!! Science has failed him to comprehend why "human " has turned into mere "man " !!!!!!
It is universally observed that all religious books point to an epoch where man will go back in time and learn the actual purpose of life. An epoch will come when man will finally shed mundane happiness for spiritual blithe. The time may be now....the time maybe be a thousand years later but I am sure when that time comes “man” will turn into “HU- MAN” again.
