The Psychedelics

Party was rising to its peak with everybody dancing passionately and wildly. The substance had taken its full effect by now. Super loud trans music was playing at 200 beats per minute. So fast and so loud that the mind had already shut down and only the body was dancing wildly to match the beats. Music was penetrating my soul, and it was destroying everything that which I was not. I had lost the identity and conditioning of who I was, kind of ego death. The only thing which existed at that moment was Music. Everybody dancing wildly around me seemed like a part of me. The thought of looking at them as men, women, young, old, Indian or foreigner was absent. They all felt to me like one energy who were dancing their souls out, beating from the same one heart. I was spread everywhere and in everyone. It was hard to differentiate between me and the other. I was going through some mystical and spiritual experiences like Satori. The substance was designed to alter the state of consciousness and open the door to instant Samadhi. I was dancing for 3 hours straight without any break. It was surprising to me to see the ultra-high-energy in my body.

I had never danced like that before. The usual dance in clubs would be mainly to impress girls or to get wasted with friends. But here nobody was looking at anyone to impress or engage. Everybody was dancing in themself with greater content on their face as if they had arrived home. I had never experienced such pure energy among 2000 people in one place. After 3 hours of dancing, I took a break and sat down at the side, looking at the entire place with amazement. I was still tripping with full power. I noticed the wristband I was wearing, which we all had got while entering the venue and were asked to wear compulsory as an entry sign. The name of the event was written on it: 'World Music Festival'. My eyes were stuck on that name, and suddenly, a mind-altering insight happened. I felt like the world which we all live in was nothing but a music festival. Hence, the name World Music Festival. We all are supposed to dance to the music the creation is playing. Wasn't that the only reason to enter the place, to dance? Everybody present in that place was dancing in their own way. Some dancing wildly, some sitting at the side moving gently to the beats, some talking with each other while rocking their body, the Dj playing music while dancing, some people selling at the food stalls while moving their heads on the beats. Everybody was doing their karma without forgetting to dance. Those who were sitting depressed had stopped listening to the divine sound. The Naad was audible to everyone, it's just that they had chosen not to listen.

The entire place looked like the circle of life from birth to death. People were entering the venue like they were born, then they were getting familiarised with the place, slowly getting into the groove of the music, some would continue to enjoy, dance, socialize while some would sit at the side depressed as no one would pay attention to them, soon the exhausted lot would exit the place depicting death. And the circle was moving with endless entry and exit of the mortals. That was the world we all were living in. Some were Dj's, some were volunteers, some were food stall owners, some were washroom cleaners, some were dancers. No matter what your Karma was in the world, everybody's Dharma was to listen to the divine sound and dance with your all heart as long as you were privileged to stay in the World Music Festival. I was stunned by what my eyes were showing me. I was still tripping heavily.

A sudden insight came to me, how to get out of this endless circle of entry and exit into this place? No matter how beautiful, attractive and full of life this place was, it was just moving in endless circles. Was there a way out to break that circle? And suddenly, my eyes fell on the giant mountain above the venue, at which foot the party was happening. That was the mysterious mountain I had ever seen. A dense fog was covering the mountain top making it more mystifying. Smaller snowcapped mountains around it were clearly signally the abode of Mahadev somewhere in that mighty mountain. He was above everyone and everything, untouched, unseen and unheard. My eyes were stuck on that dark mountain, and suddenly, I felt like I had completely lost interest in the music festival. Once upon the exciting place was now looking worthless in front of that mighty mountain. My body was part of the place but my attention, my soul was in the mountain I was spellbound at. I just wanted to get out of the endless circle of that music festival and was longing to get lost completely into that mountain. Suddenly, a voice roared from the mountain telling me to stay in the music festival till my time was not over there. But it was hard for me to find enjoyment in the party after looking at the mysterious mountain. The party seemed worthless. I was still tripping. One more time a voice roared from the mountain, 'You have been given entry into this World Music Festival as a gift to dance. So, Dance for me, not for others and not even for yourself. Dance Only For Me and you will find me even in the worldly parties.'

I Was Blessed With The Vishwaroop Darshan.
