From Light to Bliss: The Unyielding Journey
Once upon a moonlit night, in a forgotten corner of existence, there lived a moth. This moth was unlike any other—a creature drawn to the flame, its delicate wings fluttering in pursuit of the ethereal light. The flame, a beacon of warmth and illumination, held an irresistible allure for the moth. It danced closer, its fragile body quivering with anticipation.
As the moth drew near, the flame consumed it. The moth surrendered willingly, knowing that its destiny was to be transformed. In that fiery embrace, it transcended its earthly form, becoming something more—a whisper of light, a memory etched into the fabric of the universe.
Across the meadow, another story unfolded. An ant, diligent and tireless, laboured amidst the sugar-heap. The sweet crystals clung to its tiny legs, and the ant toiled day and night, collecting sustenance for its colony. But there was a secret—the ant harboured a longing. It yearned for the open sky, the vastness beyond the granules of sugar. Yet duty bound it to the heap, and so it persisted, never retreating from its task.
And then there was the God-lover. A mystic, veiled in devotion, who wandered the desert dunes. The God-lover cared not for earthly riches or fleeting pleasures. Instead, their heart beat in rhythm with the cosmic pulse. They sought the Divine, the ineffable truth that lay beyond the veil of existence. Sacrifice was their language, and love their compass.
One fateful day, the paths of these three converged. The moth, now a luminescent memory, whispered to the ant, “Do not fear the flames, dear friend. For in surrender, you find wings.” The ant listened, its tiny antennae quivering. It climbed the sugar-heap one last time, then stepped off the edge, unfurling wings it never knew it had. It soared, leaving behind the sweetness for the boundless sky.
The God-lover watched this dance—the moth’s sacrifice, the ant’s flight. They knelt on the desert sands, tears mingling with dust. “Divine Beloved,” they murmured, “I, too, long to be consumed. Take this vessel, this mortal frame, and let my soul merge with eternity.”
And so, the God-lover walked into the heart of the sun, their form dissolving in the searing brilliance. The desert wept, and the stars bowed in reverence. The moth, the ant, and the God-lover—all sacrifices, all seekers—became threads in the cosmic tapestry.
And the universe whispered, “In surrender, you find wings. In sacrifice, you touch the Divine.”
