Unsatisfied with all my attempts to find this inert moment in life, I traveled to the hermit. My only point of understanding reality. Or so did I think. For reality was only my perception of truth. I reached his hut. And there was he was deep down in meditation. But just as I stood beside him, he opened his eyes and smiled at me.
Hermit: So, you are here for some answers? Isn't it?
I was surprised. But quickly, realized that there are things going on in this world, which are beyond my understanding. So, I simply nodded.
Me: I always used to ask myself - 'If I would ever be at peace with myself - in a situation where things are still?'. And I am still looking for an answer!
Hermit: Probably not! For change is the only constant. And being settled is just a notion that lingers in your mind - signifying your renewed potential to adapt quickly to the ever changing patterns of life.
Me: Why is this clutter inside my mind?
Hermit: Only you can answer that.
And then he went into deep trance. I had got my answer and it was no answer. Deep down, even before I had gone to him - I had understood that the questions which I posed would possibly be answered only by me.
Life was just like the theory of evolution that Darwin proposed - Species have to adapt themselves continously, to continue their lineage in the endless duration of the mightly universe. And so did I ponder as to what I was supposed to achieve in life. Is it something specific ? Is it platform that I need to reach? That once I reach there - I could finally exult and say to myself - Finally you did it. Probably not, there is never going to be moment in my life when I can say - thats goal achieved.Every step I reach in life, was just a basement camp or a plateau I reach in my climb towards the ever towering Mount Everest.
I queered to myself - Is there any point in looking at points in life? Strangely no! And so, this clutter went on.
