Yaksh:
Yudhishthir, son of Yama; what is deeper than ocean?
Yudhishthir: Yaksh, deep is merely a concept of relative
space for us. There cannot be an absolute answer to this question. Water level
in a dark well may be deep for us but a frog in that well would consider bottom
of the well under water to be the deepest. The question therefore becomes
ambiguous so needs to be answered in ambiguous way. Thought, Yaksh! Thought can
be stretched, there is no limit to its profound depth therefore is deeper than
ocean.
Yaksh: What is
faster than wind?
Yudhishthir: Fast again is relative concept. We seem to
be standing stationery on earth but the fact is we are moving along with the
spin of earth. Earth itself is orbiting around Sun and Sun along with all the
stars are in a whirl around a massive black hole deep inside of our galaxy.
There is no straight answer to your question, Yaksh! Imagination, flight of imagination has no
boundary. And it can move faster than lightening or anything all you need is a
man with imagination.
Yaksh: Kim aascharyam?
Yudhishthir: Now you have me stumped. Guess you expect
the same answer I gave five thousand years back. Sorry Yaksh, our desire for
immortality is no laughing matter. It is the crux of our existence. Remember
what Buddha said? 'Being born is the cause of our misery.', so why would anyone
want to live if there is no irresistible desire to live?
Our faith is God is the most amazing thing. There is no
interference from Him, events appear to be occurring in random fashion. A building
crashes; all save an infant perish. Is this a miracle? No Yaksh, an infant
occupies least space, has the maximum chance to occupy cavities formed in crashed
debris. This is probability not miracle. Miracle will be when a building
crashes and everyone survives. God is our remedy for unexplained, a peg to take
support from when dice falls the wrong way. God is byproduct of our ability to
think. I guess concept of God is the most amazing thing.
