0:01 In my life, like it happens in most people's lives. There came a moment when everything changed completely. It was a place of fear and darkness. Where I was all alone and confused. That day was completely empty inside. But that evening new stars appeared in the sky. And new eyes opened within me. Trembling, I walked through the ruins of my childhood world. Walked over broken thoughts and shattered dreams. Everything I saw turned to dust and died.
0:48 I saw old friends whom I was now ashamed to acknowledge. The thoughts which were mine a few days back now seemed so alien as if they were 100 years old and never belonged to me. Everything slipped away from me and soon a terrible emptiness and silence spread around me. I no longer had anything of my own, no friends, no family, no neighbors. I started to hate my life. There was nothing sacred left in me. Every
1:34 happiness was making me sick. I had left every height behind. Every beauty, every sacred thing had been trampled upon me. There was nothing left in me left to desire. There was nothing worth giving. And there was n't anything to hate. All that was good and beautiful inside me had become dumb and blind. All the guards protecting my life had fallen asleep. All the bridges were broken and the vast greenery had vanished. When all the lovely and beautiful things are left behind. When
2:21 I became tired, poor and empty, then suddenly I realized my misery. I lowered my eyes. He stood up with heavy steps and like a criminal silently left his old life. Who can say that he has seen complete loneliness ? Who can say that he knows the country of renunciation. My head started spinning when I looked deeper and that abyss never ended. I wandered through that land of abandonment until my knees gave out from exhaustion.
3:08 But the journey did not end. That went on forever. A calm and gloomy night fell upon me, which brought me rest and sleep. Sleep and dreams came like one returns to one's home. He took away my heavy burden like he was taking a load off my shoulders. Have you ever been lost at sea? And did anyone come swimming from the shore to help you ? Have you ever felt happy after recovering from a long illness and breathing in the fresh air of a garden for the first time ? I was equally happy that night because I
3:57 felt some unseen powers were looking at me lovingly. The sky looked brand new. The stars had become a deep friendship with me. I felt as if my life had started again and I had got a new strength. From now on, every new and old thing inside me will be decorated beautifully. And I will have a deeper relationship with everything in the world. A new life had begun. I had become a new person. It was a miracle in itself as well. And I had so much to give and so
4:44 much to receive, and perhaps the most precious treasure I had was something I had not yet discovered.
