Nothing More

A mountain cafe with a view of the hills At a cafe in Kasar Devi, Uttarakhand.

There is nothing particularly astonishing if you're trying to look for something in the image. Yet, I captured it in that moment as a reminder to some thoughts I was having then.

This was 4th day of me being there. If you visit a new place for the first time and you get to see something that gets you in awe - your mind shuts. The thoughts drop and you're in the moment just seeing and not processing.

I was trying to grasp this in my eyes such that it becomes a part of me.

The actual view of Kasar Devi is indeed astonishing, it also lies on Van Allen Belt - among the only 3 places in the world. Swami Vivekanand has been known to meditate here in a cave which is accessible to everyone today.

It is indeed a special place, but what I'm trying to rule out is magical external aspects. I want to focus more on within.

Sitting there, I felt connected with everything and everyone. The same nature that created those mountains, created me - we are indifferent.

For more than 2 hrs, I kept asking what more do I want? What more can I get? What will quench my thirst for forever.

There was no thirst, there was no desire. It felt like I had everything - to be alive and free.

I'm not sure, what more even if I achieve will go beyond it. What is that something special and what will it even give me?

Therefore, I can live today completely with actions not from lack, but love.

Playing everyday, giving things their right place and importance. Not in hope of some extra-ordinary happiness out of something.

Nothing more is not the end, but beginning of expression of free. To start living today as you want.
