Run Away From The Darkness

How do you run from an enemy you can't see? Can you fight back without weapons but with your soul?

News Reporter: The entire world is being terrorized by an unknown enemy as billions have gone insane within a matter of months. While some psychologists do opine, that this is a massive mental disorder caused due to extreme pressure, evidence proves that an unseen supernatural force is inducing it.

I switched off the television and curled in my couch, waiting for something good to happen. This is not what it used to be until the so-called supernatural force came into being. First, it was personal illness but soon the insane behavior became a plague. It infected every mind and people could hardly, think or sleep these days.

“I think this is the time when Google fails and tells us that, we do need a God,” I thought to myself. 

 No one had a clear answer and the problem affected more people in the west than in the east. Treatments failed to nurture the desired results when the crowd finally started looking for alternative sources. I decided to pack my stuff, abandon my San Francisco apartment so that I could be back to India. It was a rational decision!

While the U.S. Government strengthened it's military, expecting an imminent alien attack, the Indians were busy, praying. I felt, we needed it now more than ever. Once I finally found my way to my home country, things changed.

“What do you plan next?” asked my grandfather. “I am going to meet a sage whom I assume will give me answers,” I replied. The trip was long as I had to travel all the way from Bangalore to Delhi and reach the Himalayan grounds to find this old man.

When we finally met him, he didn't have answers but more questions instead.

“Have you ever focused your mind on a task that's beyond ordinary life or work?” I nodded negative. He smiled and continued, “the new world will hardly believe my story but here it goes.”

The legend says that god will exist with humans and protect earth as long as they stay in touch with him. Things changed and the past evolved into a future, a generation where everyone is busy without even a minute to spare for exploring their inner spirituality. What they have gained is nothing but technology which was invented eons back but destroyed with time. Yet, they have lost everything including humanity that led to the immense power of the Devil. The demons are now more powerful than ever and until humans re-establish their link with positive energy, they hardly stand a chance.

The senses are said to be superior to the body; the mind is superior to the senses; the intellect is superior to the mind; and atma (Spirit) is superior to the intellect.

The sage recited the Sanskrit verse to justify his claim. I hardly understood what he meant but I assumed with bad times around the corner, it won't be long before we, the younger generation realize what our ancestors have discovered centuries back.
