But he keeps on riding and after 2-3 seconds, he turns on an unknown path and says that this path will take me to my destination. I believed that path was like a maze, and after travelling some distance, he stopped the rikshaw at the Mandir that was in the center of that path. That mandir has many lights and a Shiva Lingam and one more Statue.
I don’t remember clearly whose statue it was, but then he said to me go and pray, then we will move forward. Then, when I saw back, he was standing outside with the autorikshaw. When I was going towards the autorikshaw, he ran away with the autorikshaw. That time, one guy with a motorcycle came, but after that, my dream was shattered. The autorikshaw guy hasn’t taken me to my destination. I was quiet fear that time when he was taking me through that path, and after a very long time, I had a meaningful dream.
The autorickshaw driver is the mind that believes it knows the way and takes us through a long, torturous road that ends abruptly. It is unable to take any further. To go further, one must take the road of the heart, of love, devotion and service to the Divine.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
