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

attitude, denial and deception. They are generic and embedded to our design. Science has already begun to decipher as why humans are essentially scam of evolution. This therefore makes sanity, system, poise and peace impossible in human world. You already see the state of affairs of our world. There is therefore only one way out. That is to design your own wellness and personal sanity model of life-living and dissociate with the insanity, hypocrisy, stupidity of the collective human world for lasting wellness and bliss. This I wish to do with you.’

‘I cannot disagree with your assertion. I have also gone through loads of hypocrisies and stupidities of my own and especially that of others. You are probably right when you say you and I have similar consciousness as I too live in my own detached space of personally opted situations. However, I always think; there must be some way out of this contemporary madness of people. Can’t we do something to turn things right?’

‘I always tell it to those I value that the universe should not have happened. The Earth should never have happened. At least, humans should definitely not have happened on Earth. Worst of all; consciousness must not have happened to humans. But; tragically, they all happened. Then, there is nothing anyone could do; can do. The grief, pain, suffering, devastation shall keep growing and human denial and deception shall keep inventing hypocritical stupidities. The scam called consciousness shall keep magnifying and this alone has the innate potential to finally extinct the grief, pain, suffering, devastation; along with all lives.’

‘But, humans have the brilliance of their marvelous brains. They have invented such amazingly unbelievable things, which have paved ways for humanity to survive and excel in all walks of life. Don’t you see something, which can reverse this all?’

‘This so-called marvelous brain itself is the singular critical tool of finality of all devastations as it is the design of the scam. Human hypocrisies; its stupidities of denial and deception fails to decipher and accept that what they believe as creation or creativity, are all essentially two-faced sword. Evolution also worked this way and that is why it is a scam. It created and designed things, which are similar to what humans create and design. Evolutionary design is also stupid because it is partial patch-work and not holistic excellence for long-term utility. Most human inventions and designs are similar. The only element, which could and still can help humanity, is compassion. But the trouble is; evolution didn’t ever subscribe to compassion and you know; humans are the worst predator of compassion. Compassion can save everything but it is not an automatic possession and attainment of everyone. Only 0.1 percent of humans have the evolved higher consciousness to attain compassion. It is the way cosmic construct is destined to head towards. The entropies are all powerful. Humans are hugely insignificant to have any role to prevent or reverse the inevitability of finality of mortality of everything. However, we as individual can decipher the reality and design our personal model of wellness. This is what I am doing and you are inseparable part of my model of compassion-centric wellness.’

‘This means, the place you have designed in the mountains has everything shaped by compassion. In that case, I am now excited to see how you have created things, which reflect your idea and idealism of compassion. Am I allowed to add something of my own?’

‘You are not only allowed; you actually own everything. It awaits you. A woman is the highest repository of compassion. You can undo everything I have done so far and redesign everything anew. I shall only be the happiest to rebuild everything. I told you; you are the primary worth and utility. You only have to accept me and this singular hypothesis of sharing your life-living space with me. I said it and I repeat it; I shall only be too happy and proud to align all probabilities to the best of your satisfaction and bliss.’

She has no words left. She closes her eyes, imbibing the affection and importance he showered on her. Never ever in her life she felt so fulfilled. She wishes to sleep with all her new possessions. He however shakes her and asks if she needs, she can rest, while he readies lunch. She refuses and joins him. Together, they prepare lunch. He keeps showering affection on her and she garners every speck of it as if it were her possession since years.

He had been requesting her to shift to the tree-level cognition vis-a-vis him; now she feels it and wonders; how it could come around when she has spent only few hours with him. She is now willing to accept that her consciousness is similar to his but she still feels, the magic is more about how he progressed with time and how he took her along, through a smart short-cut, to this destination of affinity and association.

**

Everything is set for the lunch. He has arranged the food on the floor mat and has placed plates for three. She asks him if he is expecting someone to join them for lunch. He smiles and tells her, the third plate is for the jewel box, which he had promised. He tells her, this jewel box has all the answers and she already has keys to it.

The door bell rings and he runs for the door. When he returns, she can see there is someone hiding behind him. He tells her, his part in the book she has been reading so far, is over now. The jewel box shall take her to the finality of the book. As he finishes his lines, he steps aside, exposing the full view of the person behind him and what she sees, makes her scream in utmost joy. It is her best friend she desperately wished to talk to and she is here.

As he had promised, her best friend has all the answers she wanted. She tells her that he is her cousin. They were not very close since childhood but later when they grew up, they became very close. He knew everything because she always used to talk about her to him. She had helped him by supplying all information he needed.

‘So, my best friend sided with my tormentor’, she feigns a complaint as they stand hugged to each other.

‘Why blame me, he even made your parents take his side. He has made them agree to live in the mountains. My brother has constructed separate mud and wood houses for your parents and also for me. But, I am going to live with my best friend and my dear brother.’

She looks at him. He comes close to her. He takes her hand in his hands. He can see, her eyes have the sparkle of contentment.

‘Nothing has happened. Believe me. There sure is a reality, which is ready and awaits life. But they do not matter. What has value and final worth is between us; here and now. The togetherness we have and the innocence of compassion, which makes us one energy, is the best potential. Only this matters. Your parents and your best friend wish bliss for you. They agreed to me just because they have your wellness in their minds. You must never think that I, your parents and your best friend want you to accept something, which we have already created. We just seek togetherness. I only seek you. If you accept me; say yes to this idea of togetherness and this potential our togetherness has; I shall construct another reality the way you would design and shape. Only you matter; your conscious choice matters. Rest we can redesign.’

She has tears in her eyes. She frees herself from the hug of her best friend and faces him, inches close to him. He can feel the warmth of her breath; even the gentle brush of her supple frame.

‘I have known you since the last three days only. We have talked for three hours. I haven’t yet poised myself to think over what is happening with me. I feel that unimaginably good things are happening with me. You say there is this potential, a probability full of designed worthiness, awaiting me. I have no reason to disbelieve you. Not because my best friend knows you and she cannot associate me with anything a grain less than brilliant and extraordinary. I trust you because life has trained me to discover honesty and innocence in people. May be, I haven’t yet evolved to imbibe the wellness of compassion, but I can see it in your heart; through the content of your intent. You said, this jewel box, you would give me shall answer all my questions. But she cannot; even when she is my best friend and knows me best. Only you can answer my question. I am overwhelmed by the worth you invest in me but I have never ever been taken by anyone in my life this way. It is no more about my yes. It is about you. It is about you saying yes to me. I know I am not that good. I am sure; your jewels are far more precious than my own worthiness. It is a question of do I deserve you and all this you offer me.’

It is his turn to feel overwhelmed. He holds both her hands; gently leads her to the chair and sits beneath, as close as possible, looking at her eyes where tears are still lined up.

‘This is the worth I have invested everything for. What you said to me just now, is the true jewels. Mine are only pebbles. This innocence, this simplicity and honesty is the only real and true worth. This is what makes togetherness possible. Yes, you are right; I have to answer all your questions. But then, you also know there is no valid question at all. Look at how questions lose their validity. Few hours before, the so-called question was about you saying yes to me and I was telling you that all other questions do not matter. Now, you have reversed the question and you feel, I saying yes to you is the real question. These are not valid questions. Rather, there are no questions at all. What is there and shall always be there is the perpetual situation of all of us continuously evolving in a milieu of compassionate togetherness, so that our collective potentials and worth keep augmenting and our wellness space remains ever-evolving. There is no question; only a potential, which we shall together evolve and strengthen. All of us together have to say yes to this potential. I can also say, I am not worthy for you and your jewels are much better. It does not matter as the real and true jewel is the potential, which our compassionate togetherness in a novel milieu, we shall keep designing and evolving.’

Her best friend comes and stands behind her. She gently caresses her shoulders to comfort her. She looks up. Her best friend says nothing but her eyes have the plea of assurance. He continues.

‘To be honest, which we all are and this is our core worth; we all are only part worth to each other, as till now, we have grown up and evolved in different milieus. We still are only partially in togetherness mode. We shall evolve this togetherness as we shall breathe in close proximity; in one compassionate milieu. This worth shall also evolve and optimize. The very mechanism and process of optimization is about different cognitions working together in a brilliantly facilitative, galvanized and catalytic milieu, towards a common consciousness of wellness. So, in that sense, every one of us is unworthy for each other but also a huge potential. You say yes to this probability and the potential shall begin its journey.’

He looks at the watch. It is already too late. He rises up and moves towards the kitchen to warm
