ahtan






with the

single grain

the

little ant

walks toward

kannan






















as it draws

closer..

it hears

an old song

passing by

in the wind

..




onnaam ragam

paadi..

onnine mathram

theydi..

vannuvello

innelle nee

vadakkum nathande

mumbil..

paaduvadum raagame..

theyduvadum

raagama..

deivanum anuraagiyaa

ambala praave..
































wondering..

the little one

places

the grain

on the ground..

what is

ambala praavu

kanna

..?

the wind

hears

it ask































kannan

appears

to mull

the words..

amongst other things

kannan speaks

praavu could

refer to

one’s likes

and dislikes

in creation..

ambala praavu

could mean

all one’s wishes

dreams

flowing round

centered

on the deity

centered

on

oneself

































one’s self..

ant repeats..

what is

one’s self

kanna

..?



































everything

comes

the reply..


































so our

hopes

wishes

likes

dislikes

should

be focussed

around

everything

..?




































yes

kannan replies

with

a smile

















































what

is everything

keshava

..?

the little ant

tries to

understand













































everything is..

everything

..

all

that you see

and

all

that you don’t

speaks

little kannan










































now

the little ant

looks around..

what..

what

do i

not see

kanna

..?

if i see you

i see everything

don’t i

..?









































well..

kannan

speaks slowly..

what you

don’t see

is

that as

we speak

here at

this

level..

you are

speaking

to me

in the

same manner

at

another
































another..

another what

madhava..

?





































another..

well..

dimension..

multiple universes

in parallel..

where

the rules

of creation

are different..

kannan tries

to explain

































ant nods

not understanding

but

sits still..

as if

trying

to hear himself

speak

elsewhere

some place

in eternity











































i see

little ant replies

so you say

i exist

some place else

where

i am

the same

me

..?











































yes..

but not

exactly like this

the same you..

but

in a different

robe


































can you

show me

this place?

can i see

me there?















































kannan contemplates

eyes closed tight..

come..

if you really

want to see..

first

stop trying

to see..

close

your eyes

sings the flute

in a tune

so deep

..

beyond mind's

understanding..

..

takes them

along..

humming..

come..

come

with me

it sings..
