Aliens, a delusion?
This is fiction based story on few facts I read recently.
When Aditya opened Google on his laptop, an ad popped up showing a trip to Manasarovar. Though he closed the ad, it kept popping up from time to time. One instance, he clicked on it by mistake. The photos were breathtaking! He thought why not and so went to his mom to check with her.
As he opened the topic in the kitchen, his pati came in hearing his voice. When he said Manasarovar, she was excited! She wanted to go there but couldn't. Now that she's 80, she said you must go dear! His mom gawked at her mom but Adi had made the decision! Smilingly, he brought his pati out into the hall and made her sit on the sofa. Being his pati, she knew what was coming and was waiting! He wanted to know all about Manasarovar from her.
So, slowly Pati started much to the displeasure of her daughter. Manasarovar is a holy lake near Mount Kailash. To go there, is not an easy job! Try to go around the mountain, Adi and again, it's not possible if not destined! You must be blessed to have got the thought and the hardships are not for the fragile! Adi interrupted saying, its not that difficult Pati these days to visit there and also it was not my thought but Google prompted me! Pati was stubborn and said its all in destiny!
Mount Kailash is very holy, Adi! It's said to be the abode of Lord Shiva. There are many stories about it. Adi got excited! Tell me more, Pati he said. Its prohibited to set foot on Mount Kailash! What?! was all that Adi could ask and decided to probe more. Its also said that one who comes around the mountain is said to have lost all his sins.
Okay Pati! Is that all? Let me book my tickets first! Its now my turn to tell you some more after my return! So saying, he went to the kitchen, convinced his mom who was worried because he was not like his age boys, who are settled and earning in dollars. Adi was initiated into meditation and was interested in Indian history and archaeology. Adi said he wanted to go and his mom had no option! He went to his room. His mom wanted him to talk to his Dad after he is back from work which he did and it wasn't that difficult! Dad never stopped him from whatever he wanted to do as long as Adi was focussed!
He booked his travel and soon it was time to shop and pack! He bought Jackets, gloves and thermal wear, ready to eat foods, medicines and soon the D-Day arrived. His research on the Mountain and Manasarovar went on side by side and the more he read, the more he wanted to experience! The idea of aliens gripped him!
The team of 14 reached the site. The scenery was awesome. It was breathtaking to see the mountain in person. They had the initial hiccups of oxygen loss, breathlessness and missed home. The cold was very difficult to survive! Soon they reached near the lakes.
There are two lakes namely the Mansarovar and the Rakshas Tal and Rakshas tal is supposed to be created by Ravana, the demon. According to its creation, Manasarovar is calm and tranquil whereas the Rakshas Tal is turbulent and no plants and animal life is present. Both are close to each other. Even then, Manasarovar is Godly with sweet water whereas its neighbour was all salty!
They spent sometime there and looking at the mountain, everyone had different emotions.It was a black mountain and to some it looked like Shivalinga. The image on Google Earth showed steps like structure and some snakes like structure at the bottom. Some started crying continuously and couldn't be stopped. Some laid down on the floor. The black mountain looked like Lord Shiva, himself to some. The emotions were at a peak. Adi just felt tears rolling down his eyes and he didn't know why?! He just merged with it and dissolved into himself.
Soon it was time to circumambulate the Mountain and one by one, all got up. With the help of the guide, they started and while walking, Adi wanted to go near. He had a whole lot of emotions inside him welling up like a tsunami and dragging him. When he woke up, people around him told that he had passed out when he went very near which is not clearly allowed. They even scolded him how dare he go near to set foot on the Lord's abode!
All the while quiet, Adi opened up now saying it may be aliens here. The wierdness of Manasarovar being calm and tranquil and the adjacent lake turbulent all look mysterious to me! I have also read that you can see lights at night without a light source here! I have also read that nobody has set foot other than a chinese saint twenty years back and he asked people not to try climbing up this mountain! This mountain is sacred to the people of four religions. Whoever went very near and came back home, all grew older faster mysteriously when compared to their counterparts! Also the trekking is impossible because the mountain keeps changing its form and the path, so everyone is confused! Its also said this is the Meru mountain mentioned in our scriptures and this is the center of the Earth!
His team was dumbfounded listening to him but the guide seemed to know all the details already! He said he had also seen the lights!
That night he had a vision during his meditation. He saw a huge light engulfing him and he couldn't see anything beyond that yellow light. He was soaked in it and was in ecstasy! He was in conversation with someone but the face wasn't clear.
The voice said "Wake up! There is no such thing as alien! You, humans are only aliens to yourselves when you're touched by greed, ego and wants! Your actual needs are very less and life has to be lived simple. But you become aliens, compare yourself with others and complicate the whole process! You clutter your mind and body and move away from the eternal truth! Sink it in and you will be dissolved into that which you came from!" Adi woke up with a jerk and sat quietly for how long he didn't know. Those words refused to go away from his head!
His pati and parents were happy to see him back and all were ears to listen to him! Adi shared his experiences and all were awestruck!
Adi made a research paper with a conclusion stating there is no life outside this planet and no such thing called aliens. Instead of focusing on our life, we waste our precious time and efforts to find life outside space! Lets first be human and help each other with compassion so that we won't become aliens to each other!

His team was dumbfounded listening to him but the guide seemed to know all the details already! He said he had also seen the lights!
The inner curiosity arose and he again wanted to finish the circumambulation. Nobody stopped him. He set his foot forward and completed one round praying to the Almighty. The next moment, he was light inside out! It seemed all his burdens have gone. He finished two more rounds, in all 3! He felt he's on a different plane altogether.
That night he had a vision during his meditation. He saw a huge light engulfing him and he couldn't see anything beyond that yellow light. He was soaked in it and was in ecstasy! He was in conversation with someone but the face wasn't clear.
