I have completed reading a great book called KOLAGANI MUTHIAM REDDY (KMR). The greatest story ever told. I have lived through his accomplishments, success, failures, disappointments, happiness, sorrows, celebrations, plans, future, professions and much more. In a word, I saw my life in him.
I ate when he ate, laughed when he laughed, cried when he cried. I never used my eyes. I saw the whole world through his eyes. He came all the way to the kingdom of Bahrain and the Sultanate of Oman to show me the beauty of those countries.
As his eldest son, I saw through him, my future; and in his son he saw his past. That is how the past, present and the future converged. In this process we came to know that:
· The time is One. It is indivisible. Past, Present and the future are indeed One. We are, thus bestowed with the power of seeing all i.e., Past, Present & Future together.
· I learnt that time does not fly. Nor the time, as observed by Albert Einstein, is ‘Relative’. When the time is ONE, where can it fly? This very notion of flying and Relativity becomes absurd.
· Reading this book called ‘Kolagani Muthiam Reddy’ together, I understood that time does not exist. How can it exist when I can see:
My future in my father
My farther futures in my Grand Father
My Past in my son /Daughter
My farther past in my Grand child
My father, grand father, son & grandson
We all exist together.
In other words, past, present and future can exist together – simultaneously. A modern-day astronomer can see the birth of a star, the growth and its end in the universe simultaneously. All this go on to show that Past, Present and Future exist together. When they exist together, tell me how can the time exist? It does not. It ceased to exist with this knowledge…Time died YESTERDAY! Thus, the Epitaph of time was written.
A star, a Galaxy and a Planet are born, grow and die. Or we can ascribe any explanation we desire. Similarly human birth, life and death can be explained either with karma or reincarnation or heaven or hell or ascribe any better reason which we can think of i.e., the human birth, life and death are One.
I cannot even say that the human mind is yet to develop to understand. Because, our understanding of gravity has no bearing on a stone falling. Similarly the theory of karma has no relation to birth & death; the concept of time as we know, does not have any relevance to its existence. They simply are not.
