Mahakal – The Superset of Time and Space

 “Time and Space are not conditions of existence, Time and Space is a model of thinking”

– Albert Einstein


The concept of Mahakal (as the word literally implies) may have come from the idea of one master time (Great- Time) which comprises of (every) several cycles of time in various forms, spiral cycles of time, concentric circles of time and many other formats which we are unable to understand or imagine because of our limitations as mortals. The master time is not a period as it has no start point and no end. It is not a cycle because it does not re appear, it is always there. The master time is not just when things happen, it is also where things happen. Time is our address in space. Time is space. Mahakal is that master time. Mahakal is that master space that does not start or end. One can talk about another time from today, or another planet from earth, but one can’t talk about another master time or another master space. All cycles of time and space, small and big, mortal or immortal, tangible or imagined, falls on this master time or master space. Therefore we have yugs, kalps, Brahma’s days and nights, our days and nights, Vishnu, Brahma, Shakti, Surya. Every other concept is a pratichhaya of the Master Concept. Every other concept creates Maya. Mahakal alone is the Truth, every other subset is Maya. There is no adi and ant of Mahakal. Every other thing comes and goes and comes again. Mahakal is always there. We come from Mahakal. We go to Mahakal. Every other time is a subset and of null value. Every other space is a subset of null value. It all adds up to Mahakal. The master time is the superset of everything.


Yesterdays and Tomorrows are all same, the space out of our Todays. Today, t=0, is the Maya that prevents us from realizing that there is no today, that there is no change of time and that the place in space we claim to be ours, is both at rest and in motion relatively.


We all know the truth, unless we pretend to forget that we do not add or substract matter or energy when we appear, grow and die here.

Embrace

When a poet turns to face the realisation, that, words are always inadequate in carrying the weight of articulation, there is a surprising feel of both emptiness and liberty in his heart.  The liberty comes to untie nerves, or to relieve heat off the formats and patterns. The freedom comes to let in everything that we are here for. The content comes of having gone the full circle from finding love in poetry to see it as an art to touch the divine and finally to understand its insignificance.  The emptiness comes of not knowing the revelation all the way. The emptiness comes of not knowing that nothing was actually articulated in spite having written hundreds of poems. The reader was reading but the yearning his own nerves, aches of his own heart and whispers of his own unsaid. The reader was never reading the poet's poem.  Writing, composing or the very effort of articulation in any form may be comparable to drinking or any other form of tranquilization, because these art...

Dear Nemesis

Dear Nemesis, Please read this letter at a time when you feel that I am gone. I might have not died but gone in much a real sense. I might have changed, I might have no longer been the same person who used to look into your eyes with an anger, that was more intimate than love could ever be.  I am not gone at all, that's why I am here in this letter. My actions do not align with my core anymore. They never did. That, I have been upsetting you for the longest of times, is why I address you as nemesis today. The language of love, kindness and empathy is unknown to me. I speak in anger, complain, despair, jealousy and defeat. I am inept in speaking the right music. More than love, I have deeply felt the fear of losing you. I am so much in fear of the fixed patterns of losses in my path, that I opted out before you did. My handicap would never see the light of change. I would upset you till the point of being strangers. I sincerely apologise for such poverty.  My idea of life was n...

A small towner with aerodynamic dreams

A small towner with aerodynamic dreams achieve a lot of dreams. The biggest thing they achieve is the realization of the human ability to be like water. They shape up into the shape of the cities they settle down in one after the other. The systems they fall in one after the other. Like the human ability to swim and cycle, every human is born with this as well. They don't realize it until they are made to do so. At every step they find a new planet. Yet they inhabit it like they always were from there. The metal dreams alone are the drivers of this strength of being water. Once a person realizes this ability, they exercise it time and again. They keep on crossing milestones one after the other. Milestones, the ones visible to the world and the once visible only to the self. Sometimes though, a habit, a change of habit or a pretention of it - are all milestones. A person identifies oneself with the identity of a big city for years on - only to hide the identity crisis deep wit...
