Mystery, thy name is Nature! The nature of human mind, the nature of deceit, the nature of love, hate, accomplishment, emptiness shrouded in intricately woven layers of mystery. Love, that becomes a passion, passion, that morphs into obsession, obsession, that transcends into compulsion - insurmountable, leading to a bitter destruction with no imminent gain in sight. A no-man's land in that battle between the mind and the body. The fathomable, the unfathomable - both equally misleading yet dear to them. This is your life, this is their life, its my life - all ending - one minute at a time without individual consent. God likes to watch, or that's what he said. An amusement to Him, a wide screen television with Dolby Digital. Someone was indeed right, He sure is a prankster. Mystery, thy name is God!
You perceive, you perceive not. You believe, you believe not. You do it, you do it not. Did you do it? Or did you intend to do it? Deja vu?? What if you indeed did it but didn't realise? What if your actions pushed an entire parallel universe to destruction? Or what if it saved it? Are you a hero? Are you God? If no, why not? If yes, was it your free will? Or libertarian incompatibilism at action? Prathibhaasika? Vishishtadwaitha? Achintya Bheda Abedha?? Any takers? What if your choice made no difference to the universe, what if it was all written down meticulously for ages to come for dumb actors to enact? It pains to know you - the egoistic you - are just a funny puppet providing amusement. Mystery, thy name is Decision!
Free will. A mirage in the unlimited vastness. The real, the surreal all encompassed in this vastness. Any possibility that a vast universe was created and a bunch of lunatics were given free will? What are the odds? Even if it was true, what can you do with it? Kill the world?? Blast the Mars? And how is that going to affect anything in this ever expanding infinity? Isnt futility the most regular of all exercises?
The truth, the lies and everything in between, carefully concealed, underplayed yet continually at work, unbeknownst to the victim, plotting for a larger scheme of things, a finale that may encompass the infinity, a finale that may be so spectacular (Who doesn't like climaxes, including Him), a finale that may reduce infinity to zero or a finale that may give birth to another episode on the Widescreen. Or does it have a finale? Why should it? Isnt change the single most thing loathed all around. Or does anyone who has seen it all and all the repeat telecasts really care? Mystery, thy name is Universe!

purnam adah purnam idamThe rules of the game are not comprehended, the players are upbeat. But the results are predetermined. There isnt any escape even though infinity is before you. Are there any rules at all? What if the rules were antonymous to everything known? What if the bad guys were enjoying themselves before and after? What if all rewards were reserved for them? Good and bad - the most mystic of them all. Wait! Who told you the rules? Did you hear them fine? Are there any rules at all?? Mystery, thy name is Nihilism!
