Visions of Champaklal

Illumined Place

I was passing by several zigzag and intricate paths. I do not describe the paths.

On the way there, I saw many different figures which were neither men nor animals nor birds. All of them were very busy. Some of them were even wanting to devour me. At some places, it was not possible to understand what they were doing, but all the same, it appeared that they were much engrossed in their work. Some of them were straightway entering the ground. How they managed to do so was beyond my understanding.

Further on I met figures, but of a different character and their hues were also of various different colours. Further on, I came across some places, beyond which the road was barred by big mountains. These mountains were so high that their peaks were invisible. These mountains were of various colours. Some of them were quite black and some of mixed colours. They looked very beautiful.

The road further was blocked, therefore, many a time I had to turn back. After wandering for a long time there, at last I reached a place, but it was all dark. One could see from here that there was an illumined place far far away. In this dark place, sometimes the heart-beats got accelerated, so much so that I could even hear their sound.

From here I saw several people going at a great distance. They were disappearing into light.

I kept on walking. At last there came a place full of light. Nobody of that place could be seen distinctly; there was only the feeling that some individuals were there. One person from there came, caught my hand and led me further on.

I do not know what happened afterwards.
