Part 1 Chitragupta presents his project

Brahma thought about the affair of “The matter rests with the souls”. He did not favour a conditional re-birth option and was unwilling to convince these misguided souls that their disrupted microtubules is the reason for entanglement.  He instructed Chitragupta to take up the task, of releasing them from the bondage.  The ever ‘hedging-the-bet Chitragupta’ diplomatically suggested ‘the pyro therapy’ and shifted the responsibility on to Yamadharmaraj. His protégé even went to the extent of voicing  a veiled threat of possible fall outs, had I granted a re-birth option or failed to pin the blame on the disrupted microtubules.

As a follow up, he spent some alone time on “Bahama leads an excursion”, to reminisce on the trio’s experiences, on earth. Yama might have felt letdown, because I had pre-empted and declared that he had found what he wanted to, whereas in the case of Chitragupta, I had to promise not to reveal his secret. 

For some reason, when I enquired whether he had come across   any other quantum phenomenon, Chitragupta, uncharacteristically, raised his hackles, and almost rebuffed me saying, “I tried once and we ended up with ‘the entangled souls at the gates’, if you want, I have a cartload of information on quantum molecular vibration, gravity and so on, to unload. Want to hear?”  Sensing a show down was imminent, Yama quickly intervened and pacified, “Let us all go back in peace and discuss our experiences under conducive atmosphere.”   

Deciding enough is enough, Brahma decided to call in Yama and Chitragupta for a formal discussion on their pet projects. He knew both are eager to know about his trip to the banyan tree. He also wanted to share with them, the interaction he had with his predecessor. His thoughts, of now or in future, got interrupted by the arrival of Yama and Chitragupta.

He asked, “Chitragupta, “Why, so many of this “Astro-marine-arium...” inscription sprouting are all over the place? What is it about?”

“A reminder to myself to keep actively working on this very complex project. After a time, the mind returns only gibberish as product of my thinking. A late-night flash of, divide and progress occurred. This public display helps me to stay in focus, on one issue at a time.”

Brimming with Interest, Brahma questioned, " How does it help, to stay on track and solve problems, one by one?"

“Simple. When an issue gets resolved, at that location, I turn the inscription upside down. Did you not notice it?”

"Ok. ok. Now will you give me a synopsis of whatever your idea is?"

"Gladly, but here and there a patch of grey area, is still out there needing some more illumination.  The project hangs on three threads. First, designing an antenna to receive, enrich and re-emit maser beam to any distance. Second, set up the laboratory for the planned species creation. Third, finalising the design parameters for creating the astro-marine species. Presently, the scale up is on the back-burner.  I hope now, it is clear why numerous inscriptions have appeared. I am all ears to hear your view, as it occurs.”

Knowing all, Bramha kept looking interested. Earlier, he had promised that Chitragupta’s secret would remain so, with him.  He asked, “Will you explain, part by part?”

“Masers have exceptional sensitivity and can handle multiple tasks, at short and long range. Galactic distances are no barrier for these waves. The function of antenna will be to collect, emitted masers from dead stars and black hole regions. It is free and inexhaustible source of energy. I chose this microwave frequencies rather than lasers working in high frequency ranges.”

Brahma said, “Good thinking. Go on.”

“The critical part is the design of suitable antenna. The ‘data-packet scientists, when consulted were speechless. Even in their wildest imagination, they have not thought about the way I wanted to do. According to them, working with a maser source on ground is child’s play whereas to harness it from deep space might be possible only for avatars. They said, the deck is stacked with cards of failure. Finally, they agreed to sleep over the problem and get back, with a solution. To drive them in the right direction, we had left them with certain out of the box suggestions.”

Getting more involved Brahma asked, “Anything I can do, to push them along? Life extension, boons, just you name it. What is next bottle neck?”

“The laboratory is shaping up well but have to find some talented nerds cum biologists cum gene-editors to work on the creation of the new ‘astro-marine’ species. This creation part is currently under my active thinking, maybe I need to put up many more inscriptions.”

Brahma already knew, what was going to be Chitragupta’s explanation. He said, “Take as long as you want and disappear wherever you want to. But find solutions to obstacles. The project is too good to fail.” 

Brahma decided at this point, to reveal his role as a messenger, to his predecessor and why he was told to visit the banyan tree and the experience he gained over there, before Chitragupta disappears, to dwell upon his technical difficulties.

“My successor, for all practical purposes is still a mass of cloud of consciousness and evolving. My predecessor directed me to deliver this personal message to the One in cloud-form - the cosmos is bound to throw up surprises. The evolving species will be getting more and more wiser and smarter. Literally, he impressed upon me to caution my successor, to be on his toes.

Why was I asked to visit that banyan tree? Obviously not for the panoramic view, the green leaves and branches spreading like a beautiful umbrella. I understood, that he was pointing out to the deep deception, hidden in plain sight. Thousands of tiny fruits, each protecting hundreds of seeds, is a fruit full of story.  Did you ever wonder, with so many fruits and seeds, there hardly is a forest of banyan trees, why? The banyan tree is an important lesson for all forms of life. You both would do well to draw valuable insights, use them to advantage, to advance. You may not ask me, but have this question in your minds. What about ‘you’? If I had not been receptive, how would I be educating both of you, now?

Chitragupta mentally said a ‘thank you’. Being a protege certainly has its perks - Brahma was willing to help going, to the extent of granting life extension and boons. If Brahma had asked him why the maser from dead stars, when it could be produced in the lab itself, he would have replied – wanted to do it a bit differently as his intention is to take it beyond the laboratory. This clarity looked great in his mind, but the complexities involved, needed much more than wishful thinking. The super intelligent scientists fooled the earth-based antennae to transmit and then got the deep space probe to reject and divert the data packet to Yamlok. 

It is not a mean, human feat. Likewise, he hoped that they would find ways to master the complex problems of his project. He remembered his moto. "Better move on own power rather than riding someone's chariot, except that of Brahma.”  Chitragupta had many more inscriptions to put up and then turn some of them upside down. Permitted to go, he quietly left.

Brahma looked at Yama and said, “Let us take a break at this point. If you have any urgent issues deal with them and come back. Then you can present on your IRRAG project.”
