EPISODE 5

The plane landed at 2.50 am at the Vizag international airport. They took a taxi from the airport for the next part of the journey. It drove them into a countryside village through a narrow road with huge palm trees alongside.

The soulful singing of ‘bajans’ they heard on the way was such a wonderful blessing in the early morning. They were so amazed and overwhelmed by these new experiences. It was a bit hard to clear out their doubts as the driver was a native speaker and communicated with them in poor English. The taxi reached a small hotel which was the highest recommended luxurious hotel in the entire village. The accommodating arrangements were done perfectly by his friend Nair. Sethu and Neena fell fast asleep among the bajans as they calmed down both their bodies and souls.

Neena got up early and freshened up to go outside as she knew the place well, but now it has changed a bit. Pure air carries chemical mixed smokes too now. The huts have also turned into buildings with many pillars. Human settlements conquered the area around the ‘Ashram’ for business after the arrival of thousands of soul seekers to the ‘Ashram’

Neena sighed at the sight of the environment now. She remembered the calm and beautiful village, she saw six years back. ‘Demand increase when the needs of population increase with the time’ she thought. Her bare feet kissed the earth. She stretched her hands in the air, closed her eyes, and moved her face upwards to feel the refreshing breeze. Neena felt the peace inside her and listened to her heartbeat only. This took her to the limitless and eternal inner world. She couldn’t escape from the magnanimous happiness. However, she returned to the worldly callings within a few minutes. Neena walked towards the ‘Ashram’ eagerly to meet the ‘Head’ of it whom they called the ‘Guruji’. Back then, she learned to count her breaths to gain control over her mind. Her soul started to feel eternal happiness when she stepped into the compound of the ‘Ashram’. Guruji welcomed Neena with a cheerful hug and introduced her to the new practitioners of the ‘Ashram’. Guruji and Neena had a long conversation about the changes that happened in the lives while walking in the green meadow. Neena requested Guruji to guide Sethu. Guruji humbly replied, “Neena, you know that if someone knows himself fully then he knows everything”. Neena smiled and agreed with a nod. At that time Sethu appeared there with a little girl who took him to the ‘Ashram’ along. Guruji stopped Sethu before he was going to open up about him, and he asked him to count his breathing without any other thoughts. Sethu dropped a weird blink on Neena and he couldn’t catch up. Guruji left the place slowly and calmly. There was a dreadful silence between them and Neena broke it up by calling him for breakfast. A fine morning went up with leafy porridge for the first time in the life of Sethu. Everything around him seemed very new to him. Day by day this practice of soul’s peacemaking improved and Sethu was trained well to distinguish the inner voice and their impacts. Sethu transformed himself into a new spiritual person without any tools or machines in his hands. He found himself for the first time in his meditations, and later he got more ideas to carry his experiments with the help of his inner voice.

 

After 10 months, Sethu realized the purpose of his birth and started to work on identifying the inner voices related to metaphysics. Thousands of ideas failed along with hundreds of experiments. Sethu found that he is in a particular range of frequency levels while he was meditating or when he shut all his sensory organs. All of his energy is invested at a time when he was in the position shut mode. He made hundreds of ENGs (Electro Neuro Graphs) of himself to identify the frequency range when his inner voice talked to him and succeeded. Normally ENGs record the vibration of the neurons while functioning. Sethu’s ENGs showed a similarity with Neena’s ENGs when they both were meditating. A few months later, finally, Sethu invented Electro Inner Voice Reader (EIVR) in India. He knelt and thanked God for his amazing gift. For the first time, he read the thoughts of Neena via his EIVR and felt warm inside him. Sethu held her hand firmly and murmured to her left ear about his heartiest wish. Neena’s eyes dropped a tear for the first time….

EPISODE 4

At that moment, the lights went off, a breeze passed slowly and the darkness covered him totally with that tap. Now the heartbeat rate increased to the peak level. Somehow, he managed himself and turned his head back slowly. He wouldn't believe his own eyes. Few drops of sweat have fallen from his head and his eyes also shed two drops. A light body is standing behind him in the air. The next moment, nothing was there and nothing happened neither good nor bad. Millions of thoughts were appearing in his mind and disappearing at the same moment. He couldn't understand anything that was going around him. However, he rushed into the ward to get help and he found no one was awake, but a therapist came from the counselor’s room as of Sethu's screaming. Sethu tried to explain everything to the therapist, so he could analyze the words and reasons for the screaming that night. Then both rushed into the same room where Sethu saw the light body. They searched the room for a long time period but there was nothing new. The therapist made Sethu calm and let him rest for a few minutes and then he described the nature of human-Aura and its form like light body which sparkles for a few moments only. Sethu understood that the light body that disturbed him was an Aura of a person who died at that very moment or before.

Now, both rushed into each ward to check whether somebody died at the moment. It was such a wonder when he found out that one of the patients suffering from a long term disease in the 8^th ward has expired and the doctor-in-charge for that ward verified the death occurred 20 minutes ago. Now Sethu was clear that the light body which patted him was the patient whom he made friends with Sethu while he was studying there. Suddenly he ran to see the camera in the ward to check whether it has recorded the soul-leaving of body. His eyes watered while observing that soul-leaving from the physical body in the form of a white-light layer. He was frozen at that moment and realized that soul worth’s, no matter how the physical body is. He got cleared the worthy connections of the physical body and the soul which lives inside it. It was amazing to listen to the therapist talking about how the soul is lying inside us. Also, she told more weird and unbelievable things about it that Sethu was never aware of. The therapist shared her experiences in this counseling part apart from her spiritual life which she learned and practiced with a monk in India. Little by little, both got closed beyond their search and science. They would fall in love with each other, but Sethu hesitated to express it to the therapist who became half of his heart now. Sooner they became closer by their heart and souls. Neena, the therapist watered the research plant of Sethu and did all he wanted to continue with his studies.

Sethu seemed happy with this new life. He often visited his girlfriend in the evenings. Most of their time was not only romantic but also meaningful working on their research too. Neena showed her spiritual life and helped him to enter the spiritual life entirely by telling her earlier studies from an "Ashram" in India. She insisted a thought to him that science is not the basement for all types of inventions or discoveries. Apart from them all, there is a spiritual world which is the originating point of each and everything including science too. Sethu was inspired by the talks of Neena and praised her for the guidance and support which she gave. It would be better if he married her earlier for his thirst for unknowing things. He understood that if he gets more and more details about the soul-body connection, it will be easier for the next movements. They discussed and decided to first proceed with their studies together. A few days later, both flew to India. Their thoughts flew faster than the flight.....

EPISODE 03

He stepped towards the clock and looked at it for a while with no blinking. He started to feel an itching on his right eye and suddenly remembered a thing his grandma has said that itching on right eyes occur when the negative energy field disturbs our Aura. Then he trembled because of the sudden fear popped up inside him a few minutes ago. Ravin screamed louder when Sethu tapped on his shoulders and he tried to exile the fear formed in him. Sethu couldn`t understand anything happened there at that time but he could do only one thing and that was consoling Ravin. Unable of doing anything else that night, he went to bed. He was still confused by the things happened, but he didn`t figure out the exact reason for Ravin’s screaming because he knew that Ravin is a brave person amongst all his peers. Whatever happens, all they needed is the rest. Already it was late to sleep. A little later, both the lights and their eyelids went off peacefully. 

Sethu got up in the dawn, but still he was in bed. His mind was chewing all the consequent events happening at his home nowadays. He decided to send his daughter Meera to a convent school where she can live safely forever till Sethu completes his next research with his friend. A few hours later, he convinced his daughter to stay at the convent ‘till he returns from abroad’. “Sometimes a lie can save our lives too”, he mummed. His plans and arrangements were all done well with the blessing of Christ, but he left the convent with a huge guilt in his heart. A drop of tear shed and made him move away.

On his way home, many doubts arose in his mind about demons and their negative effects on others. Sethu was so keen to learn about the soul science further with the help of an expert in psychiatric science. He planned to postpone the researches on the pendulum clock as it relates to the result of his new originated thoughts about demons. His clear decision about this new idea leads him to talk to his senior mentor, Mr. Adithya who is a retired professor of physics.

He disagreed with him at the start, but he consented after an hour of lecture about science of the soul and its depth. Sethu was warned by his mentor strictly like never before, as it deals with the lives and human nature. He knew that this was more dangerous than the material science all over the world. He really needed to fill the void of grief in his heart instigated when his wife left him, but there was no other choice. He found his way to the destination, but not the destination itself. He would have to do it himself; otherwise others would hire him to fulfill their voids and dreams. He thought that nobody should let others hire them. The car reached home in the speed of light.

Sethu and Ravin had an argument on this new turn of events. Ravin couldn’t tolerate any of Sethu’s ideas and he refused the company of Sethu. Guilts and loneliness chased him as much as they could and he too went along with all of the odd things that followed. He devoted two and a half years in the science of the soul as a bookaholic only yet. Still there was no any progress in practice. Then, he thought of investigating the soul leaving process from a body. For this, he approached a psychiatrist who works in a general hospital for long, as he wanted to look up and move along with all sectors of that hospital. It was risky in the start, but soon he got some opportunities to continue with his researches easily.

Initially he worked as a caretaker to the patients during both day and nights. He could make contact with the patients who suffered from long term diseases as he knew that they can be an asset to his study. His days and nights passed on to patients. After a long time, he did share some love and kind with outer people for the first time in his life. Step by step he moved into the administrative sectors and got the necessary aids for his study. He read many reports about the deaths occurred here and the causes for them. He investigated an important data that shook him like never before. Suddenly he knelt down and prayed. Out of the blue, he felt a sudden tap on his shoulder and he was ready to hear the most precious thing that was going to turn his life upside down…..

EPISODE 02

Unimagined things happened day by day at home. He couldn’t distinguish them from the earlier one, but kept a watchful eye on them. His days passed in a rush to get the legal approval for his invention from the International Court for intellectual matters. They approved it with legal rules and regulations after reviewing the design by some related professionals.

He wished to celebrate this great success with his peers and relations. Everything went well as the way he expected, but the unexpected chiming he heard the other night kept ringing inside him. So many questions and doubts rose in his mind, but none of them were answered in anyway. Sethu was quite frustrated about the things happening at home. Of course, he collected the history of his house and the land to get a clear idea of the nature of his house. Anyway, he couldn’t find anything wrong with the house also.

Meera came to him and suddenly asked about angels and demons. She asked him more about distinguishing them separately. Now the dad was also confused, but managed to make up some answers for the questions that he didn’t even know answer for. Actually, he didn’t have any idea either about angels or demons. Then he answered his daughter while she was sitting on his lap. “Darling, your mother is a charm angel now. She is a soul filled with full of well-wishing thought” with a sigh of thinking his old and lovely days. He held his sorrow and tears back behind his amazing smile as always. ‘Every one of this world nowadays lives as same as me’ he murmured to himself.

Now, Meera put a question to him “Dad, What about demons? Are they opposite to angels?” He sank in his wife’s memories while she was asking this and couldn`t return back immediately. His daughter repeated. He replied to her, agreeing about demons saying “of course. They are opposite to angels and always disturb others as their souls are filled with bad thoughts” Meera listened to him carefully. Her father couldn’t understand why his daughter was in so much eager to know such things. Their day went finely.

He disliked stopping working with his peers. So, he called Ravi, one of his friends in private the next day. Their conversation was about the next research on how the thoughts of souls affect the aura, in a living body which causes their transformation into angels and demons later. His friend had neither an idea, nor the knowledge about Human Science. Although disagreed earlier, he convinced himself to help Sethu in all other ways. He had a doubt on his friend and did ask directly too. Still, Ravi was confused about why his friend Sethu turned his field into a human science. Sethu humbly and simply replied “soul is everything which generates both constructive and destructive energies all over the universe”. Ravi sighed after listening carefully. Sethu twisted Ravi by pointing his pendulum clock and said “You know Ravi, this clock chimes only once at midnight, though it’s a ticking one. We are going to work on it from this midnight.” Ravi didn’t get him, but he looked at him with an awkward broadened forehead …….

Again, they waited in the yard under the starred night sky with glasses of red wine. It was 11.45 pm. Suddenly Ravi felt the rough walk of a dark man by his side towards the clock. He also stood up holding the wine glass……

EPISODE 01

In this magnanimous universe, little lives do matter. Mr. Sethu, a physicist and a single father too was rushing to leave the house in order to go to the research center with his tab, pair of spectacles and car key after giving off his lovely kisses on the narrow softly skinned forehead of his only little girl Meera who is yet in her bed. Out of all, death of his wife in this world shook him very badly. He is alive because of only one reason and that is little Meera. He could bring all she needs except the need of her mother’s love. Their days went off finely with the help of a maid. Mother can be a maid but maid never can be a mother in this universe. Somehow they managed to live in a way which it had to be lived. Many days were passed according to the routine.

Every day, the maid complained about Meera’s abnormal behavior to Sethu. Although he was busy with his researches, this time he took this complaint into his consideration as it relates with his little angel. He observed the transformed activities of Meera who is just seven years old and the activities of Meera were quite similar to his passed wife’s behavior. He was driven by the thoughts of his love to his wife during his teenage years when he was at the Harvard University. Thereafter, their wedding day, marriage life, Meera’s birth occurred consecutively. He decided to discuss about this issue with his daughter, but he failed to find out factors related to the matter because she reacted in a normal way to all his questions. Then he could identify her supernatural activities by the CCTV devices fixed in all corners of rooms. Sethu never expected these kinds of actions from Meera. However, they are not dangerous to his daughter and this made him a bit relax and to focus on his work, but he got scared that they might cause the loss of his child sooner. He was driven by the idea to get the help of exorcists through his peers in his Aura detective research lab. Sethu came to a decision after conducting multiple discussions with his peers. This time he stepped into the most dangerous act to verify his newly found Aura detector by fixing it on Meera’s body, even it was an illegal way to implement. But he had to do it for his daughter. He invented this detector four year ago as of his curiosity in searching for the supernatural powers caught and pictured of the paranormal activities held in these last decade but he couldn’t get the legal approval to it as its fatality and this cannot be allowed to verify on humans. This Aura detector starts to function when the frequency of materialistic body where is clashed by the mismatching frequency levels. He suffered because he could not introduce this invention to the whole world. He risked his life for such inventions and creations for the betterment of the mankind. His hypothesis of this creation of detector became true while he observed the frequency variations in the watch on Meera’s right hand in particular situations using an Aura energy transmitter. This made him very disturbed and shook his thoughts once again. Now he didn’t realize the current situation and the weird things which were happening around him. He concluded that there’s something near his daughter and asked her to do some activities but he couldn’t identify the facts such as to whom the particular Aura belongs to, the intentions and purposes of them and why was the other disturbing Aura longing for etc. Therefore he got the thirst to find to whom the Aura belongs to. This time he didn’t want to discuss all these findings with any of his peers. Then he started to refer all the books which were written about the relationships between souls, Aura and gadgets related to them to draw a clear idea to quench his new thirst and finally he succeeded on it. The most important factor was that he engaged in this task with his whole heart. He tried it on his own kid to save her life while overcoming his challenges. At last he created an Aura detective visual rectifier to identify the connection between the frequency of materialistic body and non-materialistic Aura. This rectifier was used to identify the visual image of non-materialistic Aura of the dead. . As the final result, this precious invention showed him, his beloved wife who was there always by the side of his daughter. He couldn`t hold back the tears due to his buried love on his wife. He understood that there was no mother who misguided their children anywhere in this world. Although the world would not recognize the souls of dead to the mankind, he is so proud to live with his soul mate that was always there in the form of light by his side. He realized that love makes the thirst and it finds its own way to quench it like the heart beats still when the brain dead.

Two days later, he was sitting with Meera at his front yard while watching the beautifulness of the calm starring night sky. The pendulum of the clock oscillates with a ticking and gave a disastrous chiming at midnight. This is not fair at all to listening to chiming from a ticking clock. Days went by. He noticed chiming with different signals. He got another thirst but this is not his wife…
