Ganges

Cows swimming across Ganges

I sat down at the Ghat of Kashi Mutt, watching those waters –
With Ceaseless Currents;
Unperturbed by anything above or below;
Neither getting attached to anything, Not getting tied down by anyone;
Cleansing everything on its way;
Worshipped by the Gods and Saints alike;
Resonating like the Vedic chants in the pre-dawn silence;
Divine Ganges is flowing – flowing into our souls.

I took a deep breath. Holding it, I slowly immersed myself into those Waters.
It was freezing cold with strong under currents; Yet, my whole body, from head to toe was experiencing a mystic feel.
I am flowing with Gangama; I am dissolving into Gangama;
What was felt relevant in life all seemed to disintegrate into irrelevant particles – there are no bonds, no worries, no happiness, no pain, no suffering.
It is just a tremendous flow of unfathomable energy in ultrasonic speed – probably the true essence of life!
There I am – With my “I”  getting washed away from me!
