All you do with your body is consume precious resources. I don’t feel any kind of attachment to anything or anybody. All I do is eat and excrete. Surely life must mean something more.<br />
There is no God. Only the darkness of death and a bit of ash or a worm eaten body that was you.<br />
I have been searching for something to hold on to. But found just a void.Pradeep VMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15352988873028685461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566090.post-80829206210966614752017-08-09T00:22:00.000-07:002018-03-11T23:55:25.185-07:00It has been a very long time since I posted anything. This is not because nothing happened in between. Actually quite a lot happened. In fact such a lot that I couldn't bring myself, maybe I should say push myself, to blog it.<br />
<br />
Maybe sometime later I will.Pradeep VMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15352988873028685461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566090.post-78470567747192536622013-07-03T08:07:00.002-07:002013-07-03T08:35:49.317-07:00The Lost SheepOnce upon a time, long ago, there lived a shepherd.<br />
And he had one hundred excellent sheep.<br />
One of the sheep though good and obedient<br />
Was deaf and blind.<br />
<br />
Whenever the shepherd took his sheep out to graze<br />
The poor blind sheep would get lost<br />
And the kind shepherd would pet him<br />
And tell him it's all right.<br />
<br />
This went on day after day after day<br />
And the shepherd finally lost his temper<br />
And cursed the sheep<br />
Which was blind and Deaf<br />
<br />
The curse was that from now on<br />
You, miserable creature,<br />
From now on<br />
You are on your own.<br />
<br />
And little blind sheep was sad<br />
He couldn't hear the words<br />
He couldn't see his Master<br />
But he could feel the anger in the air.<br />
<br />
And the anger made him sad<br />
He thought it must be his fault.<br />
Being deaf and blind<br />
And forever wandering off from the flock.<br />
<br />
And the shepherd was happy<br />
With his nine and ninety sheep<br />
That were perfect in eye and ear<br />
And never gave him much bother.<br />
<br />
Next day when they went to graze<br />
The master never bothered about the poor sheep.<br />
The blind little sheep walked and walked and walked.<br />
Far from the herd, towards the lair of the wolves.<br />
<br />
That was the last anybody heard of him<br />
That was the last anybody saw him<br />
That was the last the little blind sheep<br />
Ever bothered anyone.<br />

And then I realize there are people all around me who have already succumbed to that struggle.<br />
For death is the reality.<br />
The eternal companion.<br />
Call him what you will,<br />
He is constant<br />
He is consistent.<br />
He is Death.<br />

The first dream is of a car, in which I am seated, flying off a very high bridge. The car is black. Everything around me is drowning in darkness. There is no sound, not a whisper, not even the sound of the car which is now spinning towards the earth carrying me to inescapable death. Even I am silent, waiting for the embrace of eternal rest. I see vague forms materialize beneath the car in the never ending free fall, monstrous entities beckoning me into their jaws. All the fearsome creatures I had ever imagined and some that even my imagination has never conjured up, slithered up and danced around the car, silently laughing their mocking laughter. The fall never ends. The fierce maws and fetid smells drown me, draw me into a horrible world of everlasting pain. I try to scream, but thick silence is all that escapes my parched throat.At this point I wake up, sweating and almost shivering.<br />
<br />
The second dream is of a knee into which my body seems to have shrunk. I am sure the rest of my body exists, but the left knee dwarfs me into a silent dark un-form.I suspect I am tied down. I am immobile. I am trying very hard to move, but not even the knee stirs. A dark, silent, transparent form is breaking my knee with a mallet, a gigantic mallet that descends on my left knee, relentlessly and in utter silence. The pain is beyond belief, beyond comprehension. The rhythm of the mallet is violent, vicious and silent. I am silent too, although I am screaming with pain. The dark form wielding the mallet, which seems to be made of some kind of wood, is utterly silent. The touch of the mallet is like an unbearable kiss of utter pain. I wake up at this point and I see that I am sitting up in bed, pushing my knee into the bed. And of course sweat pours like rain.<br />
<br />
One of my visitors was a psychiatrist. He said this is called post traumatic stress disorder and that this can become quite debilitating. He said he will help me get through the stress, if it becomes unbearably difficult. I told him I will get in touch. I haven't done that though.<br />
<br />
I feel I should fight my fears myself. But what am I scared of. Death? No, not death itself, but the dazzling uncertainty of what lies after death does disturb me sometimes. Pain? Sure. Pain is bad. I don't like pain in the body. I hate even injections. And here is my knee being smithereened ( I know there is no such word,).<br />
<br />
I fear that I might need to visit the shrink, because the dreams refuse to go away and I cannot sleep.Pradeep VMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15352988873028685461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566090.post-10198828523431530632013-03-06T07:00:00.002-08:002013-03-06T07:09:47.643-08:00Today I wanted to talk to you very badly.But I was too late with the call. Your voice lessens the hurt, Angel.<br />
The physical pain is ok.I can take that. But you fill a void deep inside me that not even God can. And like God you are way beyond attainment. All the same a few quiet words from you and even your silence calms me like the whisper of eternity.<br />
Maybe this is how God was invented.Pradeep VMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15352988873028685461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566090.post-57000054927213683302013-01-27T07:55:00.003-08:002013-03-06T07:11:13.694-08:00The MeetingWe meet after a decade.<br />
And you are the same,<br />
Like the earth and the sky,<br />
The moon and the stars.<br />
<br />
I dissolve in you.,<br />
As in nature<br />
Of which you are the author.<br />
And the mother.<br />
<br />
My Love and Life<br />
Anger and reprimand<br />
Suits you<br />
As it suits any mother<br />
<br />
For I am your son<br />
And you my mother<br />
I adore you<br />
I love you<br />
I live and breathe in You.<br />
<br />
You define life and existence<br />
You define meaning<br />
You define Eternity<br />
You cannot cease to exist<br />
For that would end God himself.Pradeep VMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15352988873028685461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566090.post-67322291956822411302012-05-16T10:09:00.001-07:002012-09-29T00:41:59.409-07:00I have been meeting with people who have more reason to feel lonely than I. But their loneliness seems to be the loneliness of the body and sometimes of the mind. It is hard to explain the loneliness of the spirit. Because the spirit is beyond verification. It is even more difficult to understand why the spirit should feel lonely. I mean, it is not confined. It is totally free. But the spirit detached from the One is lonely. Who is that One? I am not speaking about the one in matrix. Although Matrix does come rather close to illustrating some profound truths.Pradeep VMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15352988873028685461noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566090.post-36354616179659103472011-11-21T07:00:00.001-08:002012-05-02T20:23:26.228-07:00I haven't blogged for quite some time now.<br />
It is not because I haven't found any cause for not blogging. Maybe the cause found me-if you don't mind that much profundity in an opening statement. Loner's status does not terminate abruptly. In spite of Prozac or whatever. The real nuts out there know what I am talking about. <br />
The days these days are more dreary, less worthy of anything whatsoever, much less blogging. And words fail me. I am not quite in the WS (of Avon).class. Of course that is ego. maybe a small one, but ego nonetheless.<br />
By my standards. So what should I do? Angry Birds? Don't make me laugh and hit you at the same time. If you are not reachable, I don't want to hit myself. I don't want to hurt myself, you see. Not when I am in the wrong phase.Pradeep VMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15352988873028685461noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566090.post-64128270833540124322011-07-24T19:57:00.000-07:002011-07-24T19:57:32.874-07:00It rained and rained all day.

The everlasting silence. What else can possibly be more definite, more ultimate than that. I mean, once dead, you stay dead. Period. And explanations-- come on !! Don't make me laugh. Try explaining stuff to the insatiable companion known by various names, Death being the one I like most. You can hate the companion or you can like him but he never wavers. He likes you all along and so much that no matter what you think, feel, or have ever imagined about him is insufficient. He is not dark, he is not fearsome, he is not scary. He is the best and most beautiful friend anyone can ever have.<br />
