Man, one of Brahma’s finest creations lived near a hill. It
gave him shelter from rains and the sultry sun. The bountiful forest provided
him enough food to survive. Other animals in the forest trembled at his sight,
while he roamed around woodland without any care, free as a bird. Yet at the
depth of his heart, he yearned for something, for someone. He often experienced
a longing that tugged at his heartstrings, giving him sleepless nights. He felt that he was searching for something
that he has not seen, so far. He wondered incessantly about it in the morning,
while he dreamed about it in the night. His heart yearned to see the thing that
was attracting him so much. ‘Where will I find that thing that is giving me sleepless
nights?’
Brahma had also created a woman. She lived on the other side of
the hill. And just like the man, she took shelter within the caves of the hill
and partook the fruits that the forest offered her. Outwardly, she was happy
and carefree. But inside she was burning up with an unknown passion, an unknown
quest for the one who would complete her.
