In the beginning, it was all
dark. Nothing. NOTHING. Nothing to even realize that there was nothing. It was
DARK. DARK as DARK. Starking DARK. A dark nothing. A nothing dark. Pitch dark
in the nothing, and an absolute nothing in the darkness. Just nothing. ABSOLUTE NOTHING- absolutely immeasurably
nothing.
From the darkness grew a tiny –
tiniest dot of grey looming brighter into a tiny dot of brightness. There was a
very small flickering, there was a feeble, very very feeble hum. This tiny
flickering, feeble hum wanted to explore the absolutely dark nothing. No matter
where it moved in the large large dark nothing, it lighted the darkness. It
tried jumping, hopping, rolling over, flowing around, shrinking and expanding –
no matter what it did, it lighted the dark nothing.
This tiny flicker with a feeble
hum wanted to make the dark nothing into “something”. So, it split into two.
And found that it was still the same flicker with a feeble hum. Two splitting
into four – each of them a tiny flicker with a feeble hum. They thus split, and
“saw” something in the dark nothing. Invisibly connected, they shared their
parts of the dark nothing. And they all jumped, hopped, rolled over, flowed
around, shrank and expanded.
As they all jumped and hopped and
rolled over and flowed around and shrank and expanded, they hit into each
other. Hitting into each other, they got swells and bulges. And they cracked.
Cracked and split, and split and cracked. Splitting and cracking, they began to
fill in the darkness, and found that it was nice- nice to stay together, and
light the dark nothing.
Together they stayed, and
together they grew. Growing into a vastness – a vastly flickering light with a
feeble hum amidst the looming dark nothing. And they stretched – elastic and
gentle, they stretched. Tiny pockets of flickering light with a feeble hum.
Each tiny flicker so tiny, with a very very feeble hum.
As they illuminated parts of the
dark nothingness, they grew in parts, expanded and gained “mass”. With mass
became “beings”. The new found mass was too much to carry around, so the splits
helped. There were now tiny pockets of the flickering lights with feeble hum in
tiny pockets of masses. The mass grew heavy with the spreading flicker and
feeble. The flickering light and feeble hum were thrown back, with the heaviness
of the mass! Yet, the flickering light and feeble hum got attached to the mass,
and pleaded noticing – to no avail. The mass was too bloaty and bleaty, and
completely ignored the flickering light and feeble hum, assuming absolute
power. Little did the mass realize that the reason for it to exist are the
flickering light and feeble hum. Sooner it realizes, better is the state of the
once dark nothing, out of which the flickering light, feeble hum and the heavy
mass came into being.
