“૦૪. અસંતુલન.”

સમય સાથે સારી વસ્તુઓ ખરાબ થાય અને યુગ બદલાય. સતયુગ પછી ત્રેતા, પછી દ્વાપર, પછી કલયુગ આવે. આ ચક્રનો કોઈ અંત નથી, નિરંતર ચાલતો રહે છે. સુખ વધે એટલે લોકો બીજાનો દુઃખ ભૂલી જાય, સ્વાર્થ વધે ને પછી તે કારણે દુઃખ આવે. અને દુખી માણસ ફરી સુખ માટે પ્રયત્નો કરવા લાગે.

લોકો કહે છે કે અંધકારનું જાતે કોઈ અસ્તિત્વ નથી, એ તો જ્યાં પ્રકાશ અવિદ્યમાન હોય ત્યાં અંધકાર થાય. હું આ તર્કને નથી માનતો. આપણો મૂળ સ્વભાવ તે અજ્ઞાનનો છે, અંધકારનો છે.

કદાચ એટલે જ “जन्मना जायते शुद्रः संस्कारत द्वीज भवेत्”.

કારણ કે અજ...

“૩. પુનર્જન્મ અને આત્મા.”

સનાતનને પુનર્જન્મમાં વિશ્વાસ છે, પણ શું તે યોગ્ય છે? તાર્કિક છે? આપણે છીએ ત્યાં સુધી છીએ, પછી નથી, એવા મારા, તમારા ને ઘણાના વિચારો છે.

વિચાર પછી એક જ વાત સાચી લાગી. પુનર્જન્મના તર્કમાં વિશ્વાસ માટે મને ન્યાયમાં વિશ્વાસ હોવો જોઈએ. ત્યારે સંભવતઃ પુનર્જન્મમાં હું માની શકું.

એટલું તો આપણે પહેલા બે લેખોથી જોયું કે કર્મફળ ઝપાટાબંધ એકીસાથે નથી મળતું (મોટાભાગે), અંશે અંશે અને લાંબા સમય સુધી મળે છે. જેમ આપણે જોયું કે ભીષ્મ અંબિકાને જીતી લાવ્યા અને તેના પરિણામસ્વરૂપ કુરુક્ષેત્રની લડાઈ થઇ. એટલે કર્મફ...

Unfinished

July 02, 2015

Jeet is sleepless, no point in sleeping now.
Abhay is sleepless because his father is.
Samar wakes up from a nightmare.
Sarah is awake because Samar is.
Inspector Vikram is awake because he has got an incident report.

All of them are going to be on their toes for the next three days. Matter of life and death.

Read the free chapters in the upcoming two weeks. A thriller that has been ageing in my mind for over a decade. Hopefully, the outcome is as good as a wine.

Read, share, like, comment, review, buy. Available in ebook format.

Meet Jeet Malhan

1.1 July 02, 2015: 0300 ‘One week… maybe a few days more.’ This was the phrase echoing in Jeet’s mind for the last two days continuously. This was his second sleepless night reflecting on the implications of these few words. Words that could mean a million different things. In his case, though, these were the wordsContinue reading →

I keep floating in a zone between self-confidence and self-doubt. Every day, the journey starts with confidence, by lunch, I am thinking about Plan ‘B’. Everyday evening,Continue reading →

F*** Empathy: Resign, or You’re Fired!

Interesting choice for a title, don’t you think? I just heard a clip doing rounds on the social media currently. A person from the Human Resources is giving a choice to an Employee; resign by tomorrow 10 AM or get terminated! The dialogue in the clip hit so many ‘don’t dos’ on its way toContinue reading →

Miracles do Happen

The incident occurred in 2016. I was working in Bengaluru then. For the past some time, I was seeing Lord Hanuman everywhere. It looked like he was calling me. I have never been too devoted a person. During this period, a sketch of Lord Hanuman by a local artist was the talk of the town.Continue reading →
