SERENADES

SONGS OF THE EARTH, SKY, DARKNESS AND THE MOONBEAM ALONG WITH THEIR SERENADES : by Dr. Bibhash Chakravorty. ---- Dedicated to the love for humanity, flora and faunakind. The sunset beholds sunrise to be able to be born again. The sunrise thinks sunset will usher in a new dawn the next day, which will lessen it's burning pain. Both of them are fearful of dying a whimpering death, like a candle flame smothered out by the sway of the cruel hand of time. Both dream, one daydreaming and the other in twilight of the eternal flame. They know not what it means albeit the irony of them suffering from unbearable blazing heat for the sake of Mother Earth and Nature, more than their flesh and blood can stand for ! Isn't it a shame that a stark reality like the glorious, radiant rays of a dawn and the serene tranquility of the serenade of a twilight sung below its beloved sunrise, should die ? Or is it disgraceful that time is utterly impotent ? Some insignificant have nots but not puny men in this world of ours think the same ! Though they are not great men and women, not now at least, some wise man said, " Great men think alike ' ! The child of darkness fails to remember it's past, for so long it's Mother Nature has kept it's secret within it's fiery womb where his eyes cannot see. But the secret baby kicks inside and feels ! It's a baby, what does it know about the grim future that awaits him, what does he know about right and wrong, about falsity and truth ? He is a crazy baby of delusion, emotions and desire, desire the earliest seed of spirit ! He is only bonded to his mother whose blood milk nourishes him and lets him dream sweet dreams amidst horrendous nightmares of a virtual demonic being without a name ! But her mother's fire kept him alive and gifts him a hope to go on further ! He doesn't yet know that he has to earn the gift with a price too heavy, a price he probably can't afford to pay but surely he will against heavy odds, says posterity ! At a moment of time he feels his mother sing him a lullaby. Son isn't it you who gives a meaning to the crack of dawn and twilight dusk ? Aren't they peaceful hours because of you ? Who the hell in my domain of Nature appreciate a constant, boring sunlight without your nightfall ? Life should be large my son, not necessarily prolonged. Be larger than life itself ! When you are born you must strive to become the light of blackness. The stars shine because of you, the universe reveals its incredible, transcendental, mysteries because of you, the enchanting moonlight is reflected on your divine self ! You may be small now but not at all puny, nobody dares insult you ! In the hearts of artists, scientists and seekers you are the reason for the quest of curiosity for the incredible unknown, the quest for knowledge and strength, introspection and soul searching ! You are the ignorant soil of inception where the seed of self discovery of the heavenly fire is ingrained, bestowing the poor, suffering and sorrowed men and women eternal life, liberty and freedom from their slavery ! Even the ignorance of good men without formal education is bliss because of you my child ! But beware, you might have to follow an unadorned, unknown, untrodden, pristine and a ferocious jungle path. Don't worry my love, I will be with you always though impartial, until you cross the summit of love in your life, not by abandoning family but by embracing it with endless and intense passionate affection. Only then would you be able to know your mother the womankind and enable me to embrace you truly and deservingly ! Become worthy for what you deserve. Be a dark knight, be a lighthouse of darkness for the perilous sailors trying to tame the raging seven seas and let your stellar darlings guide the intrepid travellers roaming in the arid deserts ! But love the shining moon and make love to her like a Man always and remember her fond memories even on moonless nights. Surely the moon will fall into your hands someday, forever. Accept whatever life offers you but with intellect and struggle like a warrior ! Read books of knowledge if you must but remember that the truth of my Nature is always bigger than what the roll of tongue or the scribble of pen can describe ! Learn how to listen, see and interpret melodious thought content and actions, not only related to the domain of music but in every setting of life and you will find yourself everywhere. This will provide you with food for the soul until you are allowed ambrosia ! Make the lion in you roar but in hush quietness and keep it's mane in your conscience. We will answer your prayers in you within in silence ! Do not fear crossing the valley of death all alone ! Your spirit will guide and comfort you in pain and give you strength. You know not as yet the colossal power of your soul ! Son, me and your father have hidden the tiny you inside the belly of the worthless, sterile time which is unknown to it. This is our graceful magic engendered with timeless endurance borne out of a beautiful truth which your kingdom might reveal, if Arriveth at the right moment awaiting you ! For this eternal wonder to happen you must kill time but not waste it and wait with patience in toil and hardship like any other common man, in my beautiful and divine world. It's for you to turn it into a paradise ! Many a men might misunderstand you, let it not dampen your spirit, the truth of darkness is nigh impossible to grasp, even we fail to apprehend the fascinating beauty of your mind ! The creator can only create that which is already present in His self from times immemorial ! Try to become timeless and priceless but not privileged, your grand, potent time will Arriveth when we will make our faces to shine upon you and be gracious to you, my beloved child ! Only then will you be able to reap the harvest of joy and happiness by ploughing the dry, hard soil of pain and sacrifice ! You are so wonderfully unknowable that you will continue to cherish and come to know your pristine self through all eternity and make your blessed people to be able to do the same ! You are the neverending perceptive evolution of the Mankind, an immutable, everlasting wonder ! Your transcendental knowledge, love, pursuits, devotion and meditation would be so passionate, pure, and spontaneous that no sins would be able to taint your soul ever even if you indulge in it, which we know you won't ! Like you, your love will have no beginning and neither end but your wrath upon the wicked would be a permanent infernal nightmare for them on the day of reckoning when their true colours will bleed ! Your worst enemy will be your anger but with time you would be able to channelise it for better purposes. Your controlled emotion of both anger and love and sense of humour will build up your magnetic personality, exuding strength and gravity ! Your cognition would be unique, do not compare, compete or identify yourself with anybody, BE YOURSELF. Feeling this, the baby of darkness who was very brave indeed even in his mother's womb didn't rejoice and neither cried or became joyous, he only became sad because the uncertain future was not his to know, it was for him to do and die, to wage love, departed love on long moonless nights and wars ! He didn't even think of taking advantage of "everything fairs", in love and war, so naive and innocent was his radiant darkness ! However he felt his mother's beauty and pain too, a pain borne out of the pain of humanity, by not seeing it and could also feel fiery, shining jewels of divine butterfly Angeles hovering above his head ! He knew then that to be is not to be and arrogant haves are have nots ! In his mind he posed an innocent question to his Mother. Who is my father mom ? The sky is your dad, mother replied. It is in your father sky that you, me and all the flora, fauna and the glory of light and darkness seek a refuge. It's your father who protects us from harm and loves us with all his heart ! And you are so big in your father that trillions of innumerable, glowing stars within your father fail to light up your reason why !!! We are nothing worthwhile without your father's sacrifice of having you and me, with pure love in his gorgeous, graceful but stoical creation always heartbreaking for the creator ! The sky is our ultimate container where the fragrance of our children of love and immortality reside ! Won't his terrible, agonising pain end, ever ? Won't his tender, harrowing sacrifice be ever rewarded, the baby queried. His mom said, yes only if you become HIS salvation by serving poetic justice to my other childrens, by being the strengthened sacrifice yourself on my altar of martyrdom. I will be proud of you son, only then. Let me tell you, your beloved mother is leashed and shackled too. Strive to rise beyond your suffering, can you become a real Man only then. Love your wife, family, childrens and especially your pet animals as you love your family and all the flora and faunakind, for they are Me and your Father, they demand only love and emanate unconditional love. They come to this Earth of mine to teach people the true meaning of love, which four of us are regarded as in this vast, dark void constituting mainly YOU ! Even your father fails to contain your whole but which might be contained more than a wholesome in the emotion of humanity ! And marry a woman moon you love and behold your heart where her heart resides, love her passionately in this life and beyond, even more than me. A man is not complete without loving a woman, consummate her in body as well as in soul. Only then will she love you beyond compare and you will come to know the bewildering power of your combined souls, which will be universal, a beautiful simplicity infact which can move many worlds ! The moonbeam will shine upon your self forever, my mountain soul ! Son you have a spark in you, you been chosen to make the sky meet the earth much nearer than the horizon, so that the sky your father falls apart on the heads of the wickeds, so that we can walk tall when the Skyfall crumbles on the cookies. Kindly try to kindle that spark into a towering inferno. You are the Hell boy who's the God in the heavens and the Devil in Hell ! You dwell in both and nowhere too, but inside you only albeit everything is within you ! Look at my true existence not with your mortal eyes because they might deceive you, look with insight and defeat your illusory enemy. There is so much sight in this world but so little insight ! You will be an ideal object to emulate though a controversial contradicton but the light of love and gravity and the harsh reality of life will shine right through your eyes ! And remember always that me, your father, you and your moonbeam are ONE and we don't judge and dispose like the puny god, and so you will not be judged. You are A-Men, a many men, and gentle-Men respect privacy and only valuable time and refrain from judging ! Be the harbinger of eternal life, peace and immense happiness to the deserving and worthy people. If people could only believe and have faith in their parents, çhildren and their family as their truth and Gods, your presence in this world would have been redundant ! Go and teach them how to love the other name of which is sacrifice ! Remember son, the only blessings that the poor, ailing but deserving men in this world who are denied true love have are transient entertainment, laughter, satisfaction of the cravings for the body and death ! It's upto your father to grant them eternal joy and life, only through you if you prove yourself to be worthy enough in this life ! There is only one birth and one death for a real Man in which he gets a chance and choice to become immortal ! Past lives don't matter much, the soul may be revenant but thoughts and actions in his present life bear fruits only if he doesn't crave for it ! With her mother's blessings and his father's silent, aching love for him, the dark child was born. Many years later the child who was a Man now found a relentless fountain of youth and strength within, the heat of which was supposed to dry up the nostalgic teardrops of love falling from his eyes but to his surprise that teary fragrance continued to perfume his body and mind, heart and soul without an end ! Even the eternal flame failed to dry up his loving emotions ! He is still awaiting a fresh, new dawn or twilight sunset to bring him back his departed love and fulfill his dream for the humanity too, being a head full of sweet dreams amidst anguish, soothed by the honey of buzzing, wild bees and wasps, his only quantum of solace !!! Thus ended the songs of the earth, sky, darkness and the moonbeam. May the light of darkness light up this cruel world with the flame of hope and defeat time by it's own sombre inevitability by invoking the spirit of justice !!! The sunrise and the sunset heaved a sigh of relief too because a new dawn of dreams and a serene, tranquil twilight were awaiting to usher them in onto a happy, endless life forever after ! On darkest nights, the moonlight beckons to him in the radiance of his mind and sings him a serenade in his solitude and silence !
