This world is full of vehicles of all kinds !!! Few vehicles on the road are good, few are slow, few are comfortable & few are horrible. They carry few million people wherever they want to go. Little above ground, there are flying vehicles. They all are faster than road ones. Few are huge, few are small. These also carry few thousand people wherever they want to go. Then above even these aircrafts, There are few spaceships who revolve around the globe. Carrying few astronauts & hoping to get back to the Earth sooner or later.

And then, there is one Apollo in history of mankind, which escapes this atmosphere with great velocity & reaches far beyond the so called human settlement. Another planet ! Where the Dollar is useless, Water is poison & day is a month long.

My dear friends, The traffic jam at signal becomes meaningless for a flight, the thunderstorms & cyclones become meaningless for a spaceship & day-nights & seasons become meaningless for Apollo. …..The distance from the routine bring spiritual isolation, a third perspective & show larger picture.

To relate this analogy, Imagine these vehicles are you & me; all working & earning people. We are simply the carrier of money, take it wherever it wants to go & dump it as fast as we can, the spaceships are wiser people who have sustained the trouble & resistance to cross atmosphere (& the system) & still can come back on earth or escape into vacuum. And the Apollos are all spiritual Gurus & saints who have survived through all resistance & friction of escaping from a system & can see the stupidity of system from far above.

Friends, there is an expanding world outside your issues of proximity, investments, savings, shopping & gift economy. There is an infinite world outside your imagination, knowledge & capacity to conquer. There is reality outside your virtual self created bubble of pride & prejudice.

It is easy being merely a 'money courier service' your whole life & enjoy the bubble. But As it becomes meaningless, Isn't it also boring at a point ! If you want to see how millions of dollars are useless, if you want to experience how less important the brand of your shoe is, if you want to know how ridiculously tiny you & your tensions are.... Here is a way...

Get into NASA office, rent a metal shield which does not explode at 2000 degrees, sit into a satellite launcher which absorbs unbelievably strong radiations, fetch a speed of 11.2km/second & have a ride 3 lakh km drive to moon.

There is relatively simpler way as well...

Forget your wallet, wrist watch, mobile, background, qualification, status, bank balance, relatives, friends & start walking in a forest alone!

Surprisingly, Both the solutions need equal amount of 'Muktiveg - An escape velocity' !!!
