KANCHANGANGA

FOR LAST SEVEN DECADES, THE SOUL RESIDED IN THIS PARTICULAR BODY WHICH WAS NOW EXTREMELY TIRED. HOW LONG IT COULD BE USED SUCH? HOW LONG CAN ONE STAY IN PARENTAL HOUSE? THIS BODY WAS BESTOWED WITH THE PRIME FUNCTION OF RELEASING THE SOUL. THERE WAS NO LUST TOWARDS THE BODY, RATHER A FEELING OF TOTAL RETIREMENT COMBINED WITH EAGERNESS TO GET DISSOLVED WITH ‘THE ULTIMATE’. THE MELODIOUS TANPURA WAS ACCOMPANYING BEGUM. SHE WAS SINGING: ‘NAIHAR CHHUTO JAI’… AS I LEAVE MY PARENTAL HOME. APART FROM THE BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT THE EYES COULD NOT SENSE ANYTHING ELSE. OH, THERE IS A BLUE LAKE AS WELL. AND WHAT IS IT AT ITS FAR END? A SNOW-COVERED MOUNTAIN PEAK. THE VERY TALL PEAK…KANCHANGANGA. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE, MAI COULD SEE VALUKESHWAR DEEP IN MEDITATION. OH, SO THIS DISPASSION HAD A MEANING AFTER ALL? IT ENABLED HER TO VIEW HIM THUS. ANJANI’S LIFE REACHED THE FLOW OF THE GANGA. HER PATH WAS LINED WITH KACHNAR FLOWERS. ANJANI HAD BECOME AS HOLY AS THE GANGA NOW. NOW THERE WAS NOTHING BUT ‘NADBRAHMA’ THE SOUND OF GOD…
