It was on ethnic day...
The event began as a rally from the main building of the college to auditorium....
Gorgeous girls with all makeup,colorful dresses,magnificent bangles, matching elegant earrings and in enjoyment taking selfies...
We walked in a group towards college auditorium...
On the way I just deviated from my path and entered a place surrounded by neatly trimmed trees and grass... Tall pointed towers rose from the roof of the amazing church. Windows surrounded the separate towers. There were various brown, elegant doors leading towards the entrance of the church. With an inquisitiveness in mind...
I stepped inside a vast church looking at the empty benches and dim lights which shaded orange everywhere.
With a white dress i was like angel following my shadow towards heaven...
Calm mind,peaceful heart with a happy soul... I went so close to the sculpture which shined more brighter with the glowing candles lit by others.
I closed my eyes to put my prayers to the almighty ...
I heard sound of footsteps but neglected it. As it would be another devotee who entered to put his prayers.
I continued my prayers ...
"Praying is nothing but worshiping god inside the temple of soul".
I sensed the feeling of closeness from "well known" 'unknown' standing behind me.
(He could be the one whom i know... I'm specifically say that it's "HE" by the sound of footsteps which i heard before)... but I meditated ignoring all the disturbance without getting diverted to such things...
but...
I felt the warmness & that person came so close to me n whispered in my ears not to
"open my eyes"
The smooth touch of that kindhearted person was so convincing that i hypnotized n followed his commands as his devotee, that person came even more closer and closed my hands with his hands n again whispered to move along with him without opening my eyes...
As the touch was so familiar i din't refused to walk n went along with him...
"Lighting the candle of happiness, prosperity & knowledge"
After walking few steps that person made me to light candles one after other with my eyes closed by his one hand, while he took my other hand and made me to light #candles.
1) First candle:
Even closed eyes sensed the brightness, soul experienced the knowledge...
2)Second candle:
While lighting the second candle i thought i was lighting the "candle of joy"...
3)Third candle:
With the 3rd candle i experienced that i lit the "candle of love,wealth and prosperity"
"He whispered again in a hush voice...not to open my eyes... your dream won't "continue" if you don't complete lighting the rest candles"
I sensed the touch of holiness in the breath of his voice. I went deep in devotion with his words .
I said "hmmm"...
he said
" you are in a holy place lighting the candle of success, candle of dreams "
I never experienced that a "well-Known unknown" with a familiar voice whom i could not able to identify.
He guided me in each step and his words tied my eyes blind folded... i was not suppose to open my eyes till I light the rest candles.
" It was like magical day come true so realistic"
His hands surrounded me like a blanket around my neck
"whispering voice said..."
"May all your dreams come true"
after lighting up the other candles....
Suddenly the church bell rang
"Daaan"
"Daan"
"Daan"
With a shock ...
As a "response" to "stimuli" ...
As "action" to "reaction" ...
I suddenly opened my eyes to see him neglecting his husky voice which said not to "open my eyes"...
and that was the "bell sound" of my "alarm clock" orotund @ 5:35 am
I again closed my eyes and prayed let my dream "continue" but I was late to realize that my dream will not continue because, I neglected his words and opened my eyes in the middle.
" Dream and Sleep" disappeared with that "Well-Known Unknown person".
