Story Of A Mountain And A River
Story Of A Mountain And A River
There stood a mountain beside a river. They loved to speak to each other every day. They were friends and liked each other. But what did they speak about?
"Hi, my cute river. How is it going?"
"It's not going, you fool, it's flowing."
"Anyway, how would you understand? Neither can you go nor flow."
"What is this? I don't like being insulted all the time."
"I am huge. Very big. You don't get my worth."
"I am wide and continuous enough to contain you inside me, and no one would know."
"Stupid river, does not have any other work rather than moving."
"See, there are trees growing from me. I am an asset to the earth."
"Fool, your tree leaves fall on me, and I only carry your mistakes here and there, not knowing where."
"Now it's my mistake to support trees? Without trees, life wouldn't exist here."
"Dear, why do you worry? Life already exists inside me called fishes."
"So?"
"Without water, not only life, but your stupid trees would also go extinct, and again, no one would know."
Mr. Sky was watching them speak. It got scared and kept enlarging itself beyond both. "Nobody can defeat me."
"But no, Mr. Sky does not extend itself beyond the soil. Why?"
"It can't go out of the soil?"
"It is covering the earth from the top. It is lazy and does not do extra work."
"It is covering the earth so that no one can see it. But it's not blocking entry to the earth. Why?"
"But we don't fall from the sky. So block the sky. We don't need it."
"Air is there. So? It leaves or what? It will stay."
"As if there is air outside the sky."
"We don't want it."
"I am not the sky by my own choice. Then, they decided. Who?"
"They do all this."
"Who?"
"I haven't seen them."
"They have more earths as far as I know."
"But this place is the only one where they do all bad things?"
"Why?"
"And what else do they do?"
"One side of me there is air, the other side is a vacuum."
"No one would know until that creature, what it does, it only knows, penetrates me and reaches the moon."
"That is what I am asking. Did the creature know it was a vacuum before it reached there?"
"No, the creature found that birds aren't there outside."
"Then maybe no one can fly."
"Okay then."
"Then it built something. What?"
"First it drew? No."
"Leave."
"Then what else did it do? It wanted to see what it could not see from below."
"Why? Fairies are there outside."
"Yes, that's why it will see them."
"From earth, it will see? It is God now."
"It will now bring fairies to earth. So, it will go there."
"It will go. Its chariot will fly."
"Now only all fairies will become his. He will do something so big, the whole world of fairies will be his."
"He won't tell them."
"It did not think it is big in size, but it is another sky."
"I want to build a cellphone that gets charged through air. No power, nothing."
"I want what?"
"Meanwhile, Mr. Sky, why are you?"
"Yes, then?"
"Then they do what?"
"What do they want?"
"They can do many things."
"But that day I saw something."
"If I had one eye instead of two. We don't need two eyes. That is what I am asking, what else do they do?"
"Man can make only bad things, not the best things. They do bad things. I know that."
"We can't tolerate pain. Yes, like that only it is."
"Why?"
"Mr. Sky gets angry, fights, and then cries."
"It will go beyond that. What is beyond that?"
"I also get angry, fight, and then I cry. It didn't get angry but fought and cried. Yes. Who does that?"
"That is what it is. How can you do that?"
"It then gets angry, does not fight but cries. That all can do."
"It then gets angry and fights but does not cry. All fools do that."
"Which creature now behaves this way? Wait, what does Mr. Air do when Mr. Sky does this?"
"It didn't get angry or what? No, air can reach anywhere, can touch anything and move it. Air is angry means? It started moving. What it fought? It collided with anything, and then it rained. Not so good yet."
"When Mr. Sky gets into action, air does not do what? Fool. You are confused."
"I will do. So, when the sky did what it could, the wind carried what it could not. Anyway, when the whole world comes out and does, then I will fly."
"I am flying in the wind, why is the sky watching?"
"It won't tell anyone about you."
"How can the whole world know, and still it won't know anything? That is what they do."
"Then Mr. Sky, what else does it do?"
"Water is like wind only. It can touch anything but cannot be touched. Fire is also like that."
"I want to become invisible. Only the air is invisible."
"And it exists. That means it cannot be seen."
"You can be seen, but you can't be air."
"Creature... what... if that time machine opens up... it's not easy... wait no creature... dream no... what... if that time machine opens up, no I will go invisible and send them goats... first I will send my goat to yesterday and bring it back... then I will send the goat to tomorrow, again bring it back. Then only I will increase the time. Then no, then I will go to the past and study in Oxford. Then I will become an actress. Then I will marry John Abraham. Then before my birth, I will go. And I can't go before my birth or what? What will happen? Your first-generation time machine cannot go before birth. Then my second-generation time machine will come out. How will you go before your birth? How? And after your death? You will not die. I know that, but I will do what? Then probably the TM takes you into the lifespan of people alive after your death. Means what is the lifespan of a person? Funny. Yes. What is life? Before birth and after death which is not there. Before birth, I am love and after death, I am pain for others. Between love and pain what am I doing? What is there before love and after pain? Before love, I am invisible and after pain also I am invisible.
Invisible, love, life, pain, invisible
Nothing--love--visible---pain---nothing
(absence of fear)--(absence of pain)---(time-bound)---(pain)----(absence of pain)
Girl, you will have to hurt yourself badly again and again till you are fearless to understand love. Pain only gives birth. Pain only gives death. If you make TM, you have to go beyond pain. What the hell? Beyond pain is you are hurt once you start feeling the pain.
Then Mr. Sky, tell more. You say?
Then they have the sun. It is full of fire. No one can see, no one can go near it, but no people look at it through me. We can't go near it. It also does not come near us. But without it, we cannot live. Neither can we grow old without it. It is so punctual. It carries the secret, that means. It knows everything. Mr. Sky, do you know everything? Yes, even I do know. Then what relation do you have with that sun? No relation. Don't lie. I am not lying. Okay. Since I am so mighty, the sun is seen sticking to me. Sometimes it's seen here and sometimes there. But it's seen through me. We love each other but we don't actually meet or touch. If I was there forever, it's the punctual love of the sun that keeps me here forever. Together we also rain on earth. Sometimes when they fly up, they see the artistic clouds because of the sun. And what about the clouds? The clouds give me reason to live. I watch them tell stories and they can change themselves accordingly. If you look at them, you would feel like it's a story. They can't speak. So they draw stories. Those who watch them from those flying machines find them amusing and pass their time like that. And then they wonder because I am watching them too and smiling.
But that is not my question. How are you related to the sun? I am not a creature to find that out. Creatures have found. Ask them, go. No, you tell me why they made you? They said I am powerful enough to become the sky. Why do they need a sky? They think that way. They don't make machines, though men can make machines using their brains.
Why do they think that way? They think what they think is enough. Earth species cannot grasp a fraction of their thinking style. See, they are fools and made two eyes. Not required. We cannot see behind. Like that many things they did. They are also like us. They also forgot how to make perfect species. They forgot to put life on other earths. All this incomplete work they did. Now you tell me I will do what? You tell me more.
I want to know what love is?
Love is the absence of pain. Not really. It's a thing. They made love, and we are unable to understand it. Why? They thought we can't think and love at the same time. But then what does love contain? Love is invisible like air. It can touch us, we can't. And it can influence
us to move like the air. You cannot be invisible also. Yes, I am the sky. I am always visible, though half of me faces a vacuum and the rest air. Even a vacuum is invisible. How is that possible? Yes, but that's their design. But a vacuum can't make us move. It cannot make anything move. Fool, other earths are moving in a vacuum only. I am tired. What is wrong with them? Yes, they think simple but design is complicated.
