Chapter 18
“Yes everything has come back to me.” Said Amit smiling “Why were you trying to kill him” asked Narendra “They were not. They were trying to push me out of here but I was not willing to leave this place. Have you ever felt what one feels when he made to leave the paradise?” asked Amit looking at Narendra “We do not have much time. Your people have dispatched a team which would be arriving at a place where we have guided them. You all have to be there before they arrive. But before that I believe you would want the answer to your questions, most importantly Mukesh you would be worried as hell?” said the man doing the talking for the bunch “All in good time. First we will take you to the only place where you can visit in this place for now. All your questions would be answered there by some who knows almost everything about this place. Let’s go then” said the man and when they blinked the scene in front of their eyes had changed. “Is this magic?” asked the agent accompanying Lal Singh “If it is then I have not heard about it” replied Lal Singh “Welcome my dear fellows “said a man standing from a chair and coming towards them. He came to them and took them by their hands and made them sit where he was sitting. “I hope you would not mind what you all have to undergo to reach here” said the man now sitting in his chair “As if you will let us remember them, let alone our minding them” said Amit smiling “No we would let anyone of you forget this experience. You have my word. Actually most of you will be able to remember about all these events some years from now and some of you will remember them completely just after one week.” Looking at Lal Singh he said “I think you would have report to deliver. Do not worry about it. We will let you know to include in that report and what to exclude. I promise that after reading your report your government would be indebt to you for your service to the nation and would reward you beyond your wildest dreams.” “Now if any one has questions them I would like to answer them.” Said the man smiling and looking at everybody “What was the place we came in through” asked the young agent “It was our head quarters before we shifted to this place. The place used to enormous. It had many levels and had huge basement also.” “What happened to Amit?” asked Narendra “Good question as without understanding it you would not be able to understand the obvious question coming in every ones mind.” Said the man “He had an accident when he was driving, he had avoided a bike but was not able to see that another vehicle was just behind it and to avoid hitting it he changed his direction plunging in the river. He was saved by one of our scholars and was brought here. He was in delicate condition and we thought that he would not survive. We did our best and he was up and running within a week. He was given a free run here and he was able to see many things which we have collected here. By accident he came to know about few of the events that were going to occur in the world outside. He was enraged to here that we were not going to stop those events from happening. We tried to made him see that we are mere collectors of information and items of the era which we are in. We do not interfere in the happenings of the world. He used to argue with anyone and everyone here that we should change our policies. W concluded that his young age and uninitiated mind would be a bad influence around here so everybody agreed to let him go to the world he came from. He was not willing to go so we had to remove him by force.” Said the man stopping to look at their faces “So those were the things which actually happened and not mere dreams?” asked Dr. Singh (senior) “Yes they did actually happened” said Amit “Then why did you had him under surveillance” asked Narendra “Because of you two” pointing towards Dr. Singh (senior) “When we came to know that he was visiting you we knew w had to o something as he may remember the past events.” “But when we saw changed our minds when we came to know that we can actually bring you here and be safer than trying to erase your memories against your wishes. But then we had someone else to contend with” pointing towards the government agents sitting among them “One of our scholar who was living in the outside world since centuries had to be removed from one of his favorite houses as you people were getting dangerously close. And as you would have seen and realized, we cannot risk people letting know about us” “But if you made your presence know to public then I don’t think you would have anything to fear?” said Dr. Singh (senior) “I am sorry that a student of human mind would say such thing. We would have everything to fear if anyone knew of our existence. Do you know we have every kind of information? The information that will change the way you people live. Those that will change the way you look at the world. Every thing you people take for grated would be changed for ever and you would not be able to live with that. There would be absolute chaos every where in the world. We have been recording the events of the world so back in time that for you the time did not existed at those times. What would you think if people around the world would get to know how exactly they came to being on earth? How do you think they would react certain truths about men they have come regard as messiah, avatars or even God? How do you think they would react when they would learn that the history they have come to believe was fabrication done by the people they trusted?” asked the man who was looking old but young simultaneously “There would be total breakdown of the way people live and think. We do not want any of such things to happen. We are the keepers of information and someone who destroys the world.” “But the world ought to know the truth” said Amit just biting his tongue when those word came out “Yes I have told you before and am saying it again. The people are getting aware. They do not need others to tell them what to believe. They are looking for information themselves. As the population of such people will increase then real truth will told. But not by us. There are people who have been sharing ideas with others throughout history. Even though they do not have all the facts and some of them are absolutely wrong they will let out the truth slowly and the real truth will immerge eventually. We will even record it but will not play any part in releasing the information.” “But till then the whole humanity will live in ignorance?” asked Dr. Singh (junior) “Have that ignorance caused much damaged? You will say there have been wars all around but my dear look at the world. It has resilience and it heals itself. Even after wars and other great catastrophe the world is alive and kicking. And as some has said ignorance is bliss. You don’t have to worry if you don’t know what to worry.” “So all this was really like a test?” asked Lal Singh “Yes my son this was all a test.” “What happened to the old man whose family now believes that he is dead?” asked Lal Singh “He is very much alive and is living here. He has keen intellect and I think he will grow very fast.” Said the man “He is already grown up” said Amit smiling “I meant he would increase his knowledge and grow in spiritually” “What will happen to us” asked mama ji “The team will return and we will monitor all of them. As and when we think they are ready they will be informed of our decision. Then if they will want they can come here and live.”
“How old are you?” asked Narendra “Older than you can ever imagine. No one knows my age here and I like to keep it that way. May be if you ever return I might tell you some day.” “No one ever dies here?” asked Dr. Singh (junior) “Well one can live as long as he like and when he gets bored of living in the paradise for long then he can ask a leave from this body and then he can reborn anywhere inside, outside or anywhere else out there” pointing towards the sky “What is this place called” asked the young agent “People don’t have a name for it as they do not know that this place exists but Agartha, Shangri-La and Shambala are the names which had been given to something very similar to what we have in there” “That means you have a fountain of youth in real?” “Yes it very much real. It was present on earth. We actually found it here in this plane.” “Are there worlds with intelligent life out there?” asked Dr. Singh (junior) “It is the attitude we are afraid of. You people are so much egoistic that you think that this tiny planet is the only one in the big wide black world which could harbor life.” “I did not meant it that way” “Yes you meant it that way”
said the man winking at Dr. Singh (junior) “If I say yes then you would ask me if they seen them or have visited them. All I can say is that in my long life, which I mean that it is very very long, I have not able to see all the different planes which exists on this planet. I have explored few planes and was even surprised to find some serious intelligent live there and have privilege of meeting other intelligent life forms. Right now we are in the middle of forming an alliance so that we can share the information we have with each other in that way we would not have to worry that the information would be lost he some mishap takes place. For more information you just have to wait till you come back, if you come back.” “What is more important to you a person or the information” asked Dr. Singh (senior) “This is a loaded question. But for the sake of answering I would like to inform that our existence is merely for the sake of gathering information. But I can also assure you that we have never taken a life of a person ever to gather any kind of information.” “But there are many people who would never part the information they are privilege to have” “I have seen your ring Dr. Singh but even if you had not brought that ring with you I knew who you are. But I can say this much that the kind of information you are taking about is also not too difficult for us to gather. Actually you have till not made your mind to understand that such information is not older than us. We were before anything substantial ever happened on earth so what is history for was just present for us in distant past and you do not forma secret society to contain an information which is part of the present. Do you understand what am I trying to tell you?” “I think yes, but that will mean that you what it is?” asked an excited Dr. Singh (senior) “Yes, but my dear man, don’t even think about getting it from us. We do not pass information about brothers even to brothers themselves.” Said the man smiling “But you could tell me…” Dr. Singh (senior) stopped and the look on his face was of dejection when he saw the face of the man “No my dear. Nothing in this world comes free. You have to earn it. And information is at its premium best.” Dr. Singh (senior) understood the meaning of the words the man had said. He kept his head down and pondered over them. All the others were at total loss except of mama ji at what had transpired between these two. “Do you have information just of us or do have it of everything that happened around the world?” asked the agent who was junior to Lal Singh “I know what have you be reading for sometimes now. And yes we how made those lines in South America and who built those pyramids in Egypt and Mexico. But put pressure on your mind young man. History is not all that romantic as it is made by some of the people working with the words. And yes there is lots of information out there kept secretly from the world outside this place. And yes there has been conspiracies going on. But they do not know about us. Till we are doing our work there can be no secrets and no conspiracies which some people do know of. I think Dr. Singh here may like to illuminate you when you two meet outside” said the man looking at D. Singh (senior) with mischief in his eyes. The agent looked at Dr. Singh (senior) with eyes like a puppy wanting to be cuddled. He did not got any response from the old doctor. “Do you have the fossils of dinosaurs and dragons?” asked the young agent “Yes we have great collections of them. The dragons were nothing but flying dinosaurs.” “Do you think the great flood occurred?” asked the young agent “Hahaha, young man you are trying to be too clever. Ok. If you want to hear the truth then all I can say that if something present in the mythologies of all the religions of the world then it may not be coincidence and something like may have occurred.” “But that may also mean that they had common roots” said mama ji trying to take the conversation to other direction from where it was going “Correct. But in this case it has been written in books and scrolled on caves of civilizations which have never met. But I agree with you that it would also mean that they would have same roots. Or it would mean that people were free thinking and have assimilated information of others as their own. I would like to give examples of the Greek Gods and Hindu Devtas. They are so common that sometimes if one reads the stories from both sides together then one may think that they are stories of one and the same. I would not hazard a guess from you people but think over it. It may have been same at the beginning.” “So even the demi-gods had some truth?” asked the young agent “What do you think of Pandavas? Were they demi-gods in Greek sense?” asked the man The young man was getting excited. It was turning out to be a joy ride in Disney Land which started as a nightmare. He would try to get more information. “Young man do not rush ahead of yourself. You may get hurt. I know some one for your age it is all very exciting but do not think you can get every thing from me. You will get only that much for which you have passed the test. Nothing more.” said the man sternly “Ok then tell me why am I here and those three were left behind?” asked the young agent “Do not stand up and start dancing. Even you have me stumped for answer with your question all I can tell you that you will get the answers you want in due course of time. Not before that.” The young agent was happy that he was able to get something from the shrewd old man. Now he was sure enough that he would have those answers. And for that he was satisfied. He did not want the old man to get unduly agitated and so he thought it best to keep quiet till some one else asks a question which can lead him to ask more. “I think you would be one of the best candidates to work for us in our alliance.” The young agent heard the man inside his head. As he looked up he saw him gesturing with his eyes to keep quiet. He was feeling that his heart would burst with joy. He knew what that meant and he thought to keep quiet for now. “I would ask your thoughts on drugs” said Narendra looking at the man and then at mama ji smiling “I was thinking that you may not find courage to ask this question. Look we have a very large farm where we grow every thing we need. We also grow those substances of which you are asking about. One needs to go on a high from time to time. I would recommend to you that you should also try it some time. It provides opening of mind and senses. And only if ones mind is open then can one feel the power of God. I know your next question but don’t you think if every body is illuminated and have their minds open who will need these governments and organized religions? Think over it you may find the answer to your question even by applying your own brain.” Said the man smiling to mama ji “Don’t think this as a hoax” Narendra heard the man saying inside his head. He looked at him. He was looking at him smiling. “Yes I can do this” said he again in his head. Narendra thought that it would be better not to think anything for now. He wanted the man to put some in mama ji for leaving the habit of smoking and he is telling me that not only he and others here do it he was trying to get him to smoke. “What kind of a place is this” he thought and he again hear the man in his head “Paradise”
“What is God?” asked the young agent “and I feel or see him by taking weed?” “You are one hell of a brave man.” Said the man smiling at him “God is pure energy and one opens his or her mind the energy gets a chance to get inside. How one is able to feel or see God depends on various factors. Previously and even know you required guidance for religion but as humanity will again progress the need for someone to hold hand and show what to do to feel God would be felt less and less and people will be able to actually see for themselves what they have to do to raise their spirituality and every body will be able to find his or her own path towards enlightenment. And when such time will come people will not need any organized form of religion as they would see it as it should be seen. A part of life, something to be growing with and towards it.” “Then what is evil?” asked the young agent again “Do not push you welcome here young man” said the man with a smile threatening to turn into laughter “I have never come across anything which can be termed evil. Evil was made up by those people who wanted man to be kept under their clutches, who always wanted to rule over humanity, who wanted to subjugate man kind. All my life and I have lived for long, I have never come across anything on which that term can be used. Yes there may be times some one does something bad but that does not mea
n that it is evil or it happened because of evil. People used certain methods to get energy which they use it for all kinds of bad purposes but that does not make that man evil or that energy evil. What I have found is that there is always good hidden in even the worst kind of life forms and I have chance to meet many kinds of life forms.” “But certain religions say that evil do exists” asked the defiant young man “I cannot comment on that but what people say in the name of religion is the problem of the religion. How can you blame a religion for something done in its name? Religion is not an entity which can do work. Blame should be put on people who do things in the name of religion or say that it is the religion that says this or that. I know you want to know who he was if he was and what he did to bring the wraith of someone writing a book. Well young man all I can tell you know that you would be pleasantly surprised to know what he did.” “That means he existed?” pop came the question “Think whatever you want but you are not ready, my dear boy. But I think you have passed the test for which you were brought here. You should be ready to go to the next level very soon and I think you know someone who can help you in this regards.” He saw that a little smile had sprouted on the face of Dr. Singh (senior) “You all wanted to know the real reason for bringing you all here. Now I think you are ready for the truth. We are hiring and this was a recruitment process. And all I can say is that we give better compensations than anyone around the world” Every body seated there was unsure what to make of the last words said by the man. Tow people were grinning unable to hide their excitement. One was happy and rest totally confused. Narendra was the most confused of the lot. “I did not apply for the job and am not interested in it. You guys are too mumbo jumbo for me. I would not be able to stand here even for one day.” Said he but got only smile from the man who was sitting there. It was like some bizarre dream they were stuck in together. Nothing seemed to real and even though they did not find that people on this side were really killers it was not good feeling for some of them They would had it well if it had turned out to be all guns blazing battle. It was too much of an anti-climax with some bizarre questions and even more bizarre answers. Lal Singh was not sure how would he be able to file the report. He was sure that if he filed what had really happened here then either he would be given a desk job or there would an end of the place where they were sitting. And he would not be happy with both the outcomes. He wanted a solution and wanted it fast enough. “How were you able to find alternate plane of existence?” asked Dr. Singh (junior) “as from what I have read hand heard huge amount of energy would require achieving such feat.” “Now this is what I call an inquisitive mind. All of you came through the doorway and everybody saw the dramatic change of the surroundings. But none of you had this question in mind. It is because of such inquisitive mind ordinary people have been able to perform extra ordinary feat. And coming to the answer to your question doctor yes currently people believe that to move from one plane of existence to another would require enormous amount of energy. But as you have seen that there was input of excess energy when you came through the gateway. All I can tell you for now is that as light bend to give different colors we were able to use similar property of energy along with light to be able to find and open different dimensions. It did not require enormous amounts of energy. And subsequently you would also be able to use this in many other things when you people would be able to discover how to use this property of energy.” “It can be used for space travel” said the young agent excitedly “I knew this would come from your mouth” said the man feeling pride in the young man “But could this be used for time travel” asked the young agent again “Time travel would be possible only when some one discovers a method to completely change the time-space fabric. The energy required of this is enormous and it is not very practical. Because you never end up in the same time-space zone and any change you do would not affect the time-space from which had started. Even if some achieves in exacting the coordinates of flight in time-space fabric it would be nearly impossible to return in the same coordinates and see the changes done by the traveler as when a change has been in time-space fabric in past then it alters the whole fabric and existence of the traveler in the same coordinate would never be possible in future so no question of him coming back ever. It is a paradox which many of us put their minds in but never have been able to get a satisfactory answer. Even as very small change like pushing some one standing just in front would have such an enormous affect in time-space fabric that the chances of the parents of the traveler meeting down in the future become very slim if not impossible. And when he returns to his time-space coordinates he would never find the change he did when he was back in time as the change made by him would have occurred in some different time-space coordinates. It has been for us more of philosophical than some thing of a practical question. “But the same technology could be used to travel in far deeper dimensions but then again there is the risk factor involved as no one has been able to say for sure that how vast this whole system is as there are world beyond worlds and worlds within worlds. One can never be sure what type of life form one may encounter in such kind of voyages.” “But there is another way one can travel back in time, without disturbing the time-space fabric. Anything done in past would remain as such and would not result in complete change in the present. But again there is a catch. One does not return exactly in same place from where he started. Suppose Amit starts from his apartment and goes back in time using such a device to say exactly 100 years back. Where would be emerge? At the place where his apartment stands 100 years back in time? No. He would not be able to do so. In fact he would immerge in space 100 years back as earth would not have reached the spot where it know in 2012 in 1912. So he would be far away from earth. To go back and do any meaningful change he would have to reach earth so in order to do that in such a case he would have to have a time-machine which should also act as a space craft. The more the time one goes back in time more distance he has to travel in space to reach the earth. Again it would be of not much practical importance but any change done by this method would be permanent and not bring about a change in time-space fabric.” “I think your time is practically over as you now would be given lunch and after that you can take some rest. The second team dispatched from Delhi would be arriving at the coordinates given to them soon so better hurry up. I would meet you people again and would like to help Lal Singh in his problem. Now you all better move for lunch”
“What was all this?” asked Narendra to Dr. Singh (senior) when they sat for lunch. “I was not able to follow most of the things he said. And do you think he older than you? He looked he was even younger than your brother here. May be as old as mama ji but not even close to you.” Dr. Singh (senior) kept quiet. He was busy thinking of implication of the information he was told. He knew, as brother of an old fraternity, that there are secrets in this world and he also knew that there are some secrets which should be kept as secrets. No good would ever come on acknowledging existence of such secrets. This was one of such secrets. And he was sure that the man was not younger than him. He was as old as he told. He was nearly an immortal. May be one of those who have been mentioned in old Hindu scriptures. May be even older than those. Amit was asking mama ji if he would like to ask the man about people taking away his ring and papers. “I think if he deems it fit them he would himself tell me. I don’t need to ask the question. If I deserved any explanation then I would be provided one otherwise not. And do not find any problem in it.” Said mama ji “If possible I would like to ask one more question” said the young agent “Yes why not, I think you will never stop having question. You have been behaving like a child since you got to ask the questions” said Narendra Dr. Singh (senior) thought that even though Narendra was getting frustrated by the questioning of the young man but unknowingly he had hit the nail in the head. One can only grow till one keeps asking questions. That is why child grows, because it asks questions. The children who do not ask any questions or who are afraid to ask are n
ot able to grow mentally. As people grow old either they forget to ask questions or they feel ashamed to do so. The young man like a child did not feel ashamed to ask questions. And he was sure that this quality of his would help him achieve what he wants. One should not be ashamed of being child like as a child is never ashamed of anything. It is only when it grows up he becomes afraid of things, even to ask questions. He turned to the young man and congratulated him. “Well done young man. Never forget that to grow you have to know and you will only be able to know if you ask questions. If you stop asking questions you will stop growing. Keep it up.” He saw a big smile come on the face of young agent. He was beaming like a child. He looked at the ring on his finger and smiled knowingly. “When would the team arrive?” asked the man to someone “In about one and half hours” he replied “Ok then they would have sufficient time to rest and get refreshed.” Smiled the man and went off “I hope you all had the lunch to your liking” said the man when they all returned “Yes” said all. All very feeling contended after having their stomachs filled with food. “We have seen about 50 people in here since we arrived and have seen people from the length and breadth of India. But we have not seen anyone from outside. You don’t have them working here” asked Narendra “We do not discriminate on the basis of nationality or race. Yes we do have them but there number is far less that is why did not see them. And they are outside helping us then inside.” “What about discrimination based on religion” asked Dr. Singh (junior) “For us it is unimportant. For people outside religion may be the sole purpose for living but as we have found the true religion comes from within and it does not live in some temple or church or mosque. For us your distinction based on religion do not exist, it all one and the same. We have seen everybody and have felt the significance they had on lives of people but then for us it is not significant enough.” “If you permit, I have a question” said the young agent “Go on““Do you people brew?” “Yes of course. And why would you think we would not brew and ferment? We have eve finer tastes in life than the people born with golden spoon in outside have. We like all kinds of beverages and have developed fine quality of microorganism to help us get the finest beverages” “But that would cause you liver to get damaged” aid Narendra “Yes it would if one does not control the quantity, but then tell me that is there anything which does not cause harm when done or used in excess? We have proves that even meditation when done in excess what a body can tolerate causes problems. Milk when used in excess causes stones and heart problems. There is nothing in the world which when used in excess will not cause harm. Being skeptic in excess also causes harm” smiled the man “I would like to thank you for enduring so much trouble and coming here. I would sincerely hope that in due course of time we would meet again. If possible I would make an offer the next time we meet. Now I would like you to take some rest." when they all started moving he said “I would like to meet Amit and Lal Singh in private” The two of them waited for rest of them to move out. “Lal Singh when you will reach your office you will find a file. Every thing has been written in it. You would not have to do anything. Just read that file and memorize it before making copies and submitting as your report. When you will reach outside you will find the three of your agents. You will also find the second team. Tell them they we had abducted you but you fought with as Amit was able to remember our power plant you were able to destroy it along with everybody in there. Also tell them that you had lost one of the members of your team. Tell them that he sacrificed himself to let you all out safely before detonating the bomb which blew up their hiding place.” The man smiled as he said Taking cue he went to rest of the members of his team. He was sure that Amit would be left here and he would have to show him as the dead member. “Son I am happy that up kept the faith I had put in you. Now the time is coming again for your return. Time has not come for you to stay with us. Yu will find a friend and guide outside and he will help you attain the level to become a permanent member of this place. You will find a ring in drawer of your cabinet. Keep it well and safe. Along with the ring you will also find some papers. Study them well and try to find some meaning in those pages. Hopefully you will attain enlightenment much before.”
