The rising sun bade farewell to the radiance of knowledge and the dew drops dripped from the trees and climbers. For a moment, there was stillness around. Seeing the radiant star move from the earth towards the sky, the earth smiled contentedly inspite of the loss. Acharya was emancipated.
'I am free God! Now I am free!'
'Are you free? Son, what are you free from? Is it possible to be freed ?'
Acharya was stunned. He heard the balanced, calm and serene sound from his conscience. He smiled innocently and held Shiv Shankar tightly,' God ! Small children make mistakes sometimes! I feel I am a little child now! I have achieved the delight of roaming around the universe, sitting on my father's shoulder. I mean…'
‘Do not say anything, son. You are extremely tired due to strenuous work. Now you are free from all tiredness. You taught the people the path to move from dualism to Advaitism and the realization of the formless through the worship of physical manifestations of the Almighty. Son, you have worked boundlessly!' The fatherly emotions of ShivShankar were aroused.
' God….You!’
‘I am father of the universe, isn't it! Transferring from the formless to this physical incarnation has made me emotional.' ShivShankar wiped his tears and continued, 'Let us move on now. I was inside you till today. Now you are a part of me. Watch the snow clad mountains decorated with gems. Can you see the cloudless sky, the horizon at a great distance; we have to go beyond all this, on the formless, unreachable path.’
‘How miraculous all this is!I had only envisioned this unreachable path, the balanced, calm and serene sound! Now I am becoming devoid of all sensations, I have become subtle. Everything is extraordinarily amazing !'
