The Falling Kalpavriksha

Kalpavriksha, the tree that fulfill desires, seems to be full of energy and resilient against the odd nature and winds in the old books. It still feels like magic when narrated in the old mythologies about its vast branches spreading out into the sky. The solid bark and its grip would look like a palm resting peacefully in the womb of the earth. Sages sitting under it and meditating for many days, the nesting of birds on the small tender inner branches, away from the evil eyes of a predator, such would have been the aura of a Kalpavriksha.

I was always fascinated by the stories that were written by the great thinkers and visually creative people in the times when gods used to flock the earth. These transcripts, written in Devanagari and Sanskrit, transfused a sense of richness and prosperity in our hearts whenever I tried to infer it by translating it in Hindi for my better understanding. Still I wasn't able to completely imbibe it in my strides.

But today, I understand each part of it in a very clear and concise manner. That's because I know life now. I now know the real meaning behind each words written by our ancient scholars, no matter what language they used. 

As a child, I always felt safe with my mother and father. I would play around them, take food from their hands, sleep off in their arms, and smile when looking at their faces. They would always get me the things I would require or often asked adamantly. Never ever would I hear words of denial from them. Somehow, I was nurturing under a Kalpavriksha. How thoughtful of god to have given me a blessing in the shape of my parents. Still, we never try to understand their joys and griefs. Instead, we always impose our life's miseries on them. This is where we are cutting down that wish fulfilling tree, after totally exhausting its resources to fulfill our own needs.

It saddens the nature and the god himself, when someone ill treats their old age parents. Its a blunder on the part of the children to ruin the golden years of their parents who gave them everything they ever possessed, without saying a word. How painful is such inhumanity done upon the veterans, cannot be expressed in words. The god gets hurt, the society gets hurt, the good people get hurt when a father or a mother sheds their tears of pain given to them by their children. Those very children forget that the Karma goes a full circle. Whatever you are doing today shall come back and haunt you. Your bad Karma's will make your life miserable too. Even god will not give you salvation in any of the life you have to go through. 

A sad face of a giver, a mother is the most hurtful thing one can ever see in this world. The conscience gets ruptured with anger as well as grief for such a good soul. A mother, who selflessly commits herself to her children, can never be left alone or be hurt, for any reason whatsoever. If some one does so, he or she should see the worst wrath of the demonic world.
