Yes by Santosh Jha (the read aloud family txt) 📕

‘This situation is like a locked up box of jewels. You already know, you have the keys of the locked up box in your hand. You also have no reason to doubt that the box shall be full with most precious jewels as you deserve only the best. Still, you insist to ask what is inside the box. Give me only few more hours. Before the Sun sets, you shall have all answers and they shall come like the jewels in the box. You shall see them and shall have no need to ask anything more. I assure you; all answers of all your questions are just a few hours away. I seek that you accept my hypothesis and allow me to proceed to next levels of probabilities.’

She doesn’t say a word. He can see, she is not anyway troubled. She seems very much relaxed and poised. She rises up, begins to walk into the empty spaces; the bed rooms, the terrace and finally, enters the kitchen. From the kitchen she calls him and wants him to help her make coffee. He lines up what she requires. He tells her that he has already made preparations for lunch and together they shall make it. He tells her that he knows she has taken leave from the office and that is why he expects that she would spend the whole day with him. She is not amazed. She has accepted, he is somebody she has known but cannot recollect. She agrees. She has begun to agree…

They settle back on the carpet mat with their coffee cups and this time, she sits close to him. He keeps looking at her. His gaze does not unsettle her. Rather, it extends her the invite to be the true character of her self – not the intelligent self that she is known to the world but the simple, innocent and compassionate self she is in her private milieu. His silence makes her descend down to the innermost layer of her sincere and sedimented consciousness.

‘You know; this is the same place I started only a few hours earlier. You said it to me but then I could not internalize what you meant. Now, this moment I feel what you meant to say. It is just progression of time and the situations change. As situations change; probably everything within consciousness, changes. Yesterday, everything was the same – this room, the arrangements, you and me but only few hours have passed and I do not feel the same sense of unknowingness and unsettled uncertainty. Only few hours of knowing you have changed loads of feel. I accept, you are right when you say questions are valid only at a certain stage of progression of time. I therefore feel good to drop all questions. I am not asking you this as a question; rather, I request you and I am confident, the way you care for me, you shall accept it.’

She looks up to him to assess what his reaction can be. He smiles and nods.

‘I understand not only your hypothesis but also feel that your association shall journey me to many novelties I have not yet experienced. I accept you probably know everything about me and in that sense, in the progression of timeline; you probably stand miles ahead of me. But, I am just beginning. I am no match to you. Like I said, only a small progression of mine of just few hours since yesterday has placed me in better position to understand your words. I request you that you would extend me enough time so that I could journey the progression and catch up to where you stand now. I promise you, I shall not ask any question. Just give me the latitude of time.’

‘I am 42, you are 38. If we accept the average of 80 years of life; we have around 40 years, or you can say around 3,50,000 hours at hand. Can we make it by then?’

She cannot resist a smile. She smiles not over his wit but over the fact how slowly answers keep coming up as she journeys with him. He looked so young she thought, he probably would be younger than her. She begins to feel more connected to him. Subconsciously, she finds reason to trust him more.

‘I have already told you, for me, nothing matters once you accept me in your life-space. This leaves me full and fulfilled. I wish you to believe me that even this time and its progression does not matter. I wish you internalize what I am saying. Like you very compassionately accepted that questions do not matter and you now feel, time is important and its progression is critical. I genuinely believe; you shall also accept that even time and its progression are only transitional; they do not matter. They are valuable only as a stepping stone to some space where people have to arrive.’

She has now understood him a bit. She can now know what he says is always very deep and thick. She inches close to him and fixes her eyes on his face to be in consonance and symmetry with his intents to internalize optimally what he says. He always extends her the best of situations to be at her optimality. He lines up cushions around her and makes her lie down. Gently he clears tresses from her face. She can feel the warmth of his breathe on her face.

‘All realities, we connect to and relate with, are decided by consciousness. Cognition is relative to consciousness. That is why we are innately aligned to and relate with a person or a thing, which have similar consciousness. Reality for us is how we observe things and people. We don’t need time and its progression to see and feel this relationship and connect, which is already there. We just have to be with them. We need this precious cognition to decipher the intangible causality, which exists between two similar consciousnesses – you and I.’

‘But it is so difficult. How can we decipher this connect of aligned consciousnesses?’

‘You are right. It is not easy. We have received wrong mind training and education that kills our innate cognitive capabilities to decipher intangible and inner causalities. We have been trained to look for external and tangible elements to align ourselves. We look for similarities and alignments in identities like, caste, creed, ethnicity, color, religion, status, region, nationality, etc for connect and relationship. That is why we have lost our innate artistry of deciphering the real and true connect of consciousness, which alone is the only alignment and relationship, which matters and lasts. That is probably the singular reason for most relational troubles of average person. They look for what does not matter and ignore what truly matters.’

He stops as his mobile phone rings. He picks up and tells the person on the other hand that he expects delivery two hours from now. She is happy that he wraps up the call swiftly. She wishes him to finish what he was saying. He continues.

‘As elements of your consciousness and mine are same; therefore, theoretically, we are in relationship since we were born. Schematically, you and I know each other since then as we have common consciousness. It is not progression of time but simply the situation that we observe each other only now. That is why I told you that when you arrive at the tree-level cognition, you can see our consciousnesses being in long and aligned relationship since decades. It is very tough and requires persevered training but we all have the innate artistry to visualize the causalities between I and others. The causalities emerge as imageries and our consciousness instantly recognizes them as similar and generic to our own. This is some artistry, we have lost.’

‘I trust you when you say our consciousnesses are similar and it therefore naturally relates us. I also accept your hypothesis that only people with similar consciousnesses can truly and sincerely last in a relationship. I have lived enough years to decipher that. May be, you know it well but it shall help me good deal if you could elaborate on what you called the elements of consciousness. I have always struggled with my own self. Probably because I have not been definitive about what elements constitute my consciousness. You probably can help me discover my own elements and make me sure about them so that it could help me decipher this imagery of causality between you and me.’

‘It is not right to say you have struggled with your own consciousness. The reality is; we are born with specific elements of consciousness and they shape us. As we grow and evolve, we subconsciously align ourselves only with those elements that are in sync with our innate constitution. Somehow, the world we move; our work place, the larger society and the cultures etc, have different elements too, many of which stand antagonistic to our own consciousness. Often, we cannot detach and dissociate with such unrelated and unfriendly elements in our milieu. At times, we are not sure these elements are not suitable to us and we should dump them. This creates dualism and conflicts within our consciousness. I know, you have made your way to where you are now with loads of strong conviction and efforts. In this journey you probably remained with such elements, which were not part of your innate self. I have been in such a situation too. This surely creates discomfort and takes away our poise. That is why; knowing what your elements are, I wish to move with you to this place in the mountains, which I have designed to have only those elements, milieu and people, which are endemic and innate to our consciousness. We are now at an age and in a position in life, where we can put our foot down and say, we shall only be what we want to be. No more dualism and no more conflicted life-living.’

‘I am not asking but just wish to have your views on this proposition that if you and I are of similar consciousness and together we have the strength and resources to create our own wellness, we probably can live blissfully here too.’

‘Ultimately, only you and I are important. The milieu we have is only facilitative but it has loads of benefit. You know, 55 percent of human population lives in only 1 percent of land of Earth, which we proudly claim as happening urban spaces. If you look carefully, these spaces are centers of worst of human hypocrisies. They are also the spaces where humanity shall be decimated in future. Over 75 percent urban population already lives a subhuman life. But, this is a small factor. The core reason of opting for this personally designed mountain life-living is something only handful humans like you and I can understand. It is associated with the way human body-mind has been designed and evolved. It is about the scam, which we know as consciousness.’

‘Tell me about that. This probably would help me dissociate with my contemporary milieu and relate better with what you describe about the mountain living.’

‘It is a long and serious issue. We shall talk about it later. What I can say now is what you have already understood and I know it because I know you well. Human body-brain design is not an assertion of superiority and excellence. Humans are the worst design of this hugely stupid engineering called evolution. Consciousness is an outcome of worst entropies of evolutionary processes, which makes humans the most corrupted and dangerous species in the universe. The entropic design of our consciousness is the sole reason behind the uncontrollable hypocrisies and stupidities of our world. It fills up human world with five calamitous elements of fear, anger,
