There are for sure, several non-conventional ways, in which one would hold control of and influence one's mind and heart. But the most charismatic of all kinds couldn't be any other than that in which the Hypnotist was left unaware of his act. A magician – unaware of the way he fascinates one’s imagination and puts them in awe; An Illusionist – unaware of the way he creates a new world altogether and weaves it into someone’s mind; A Hypnotist – unaware of how close he comes to you and gets into your mind, sees nothing but shows you what he desires, he holds your hand and leads you to the dance floor and makes it the time of your life…and then as innocently asks, “who are you?” And you actually, forget what the correct answer was…rather you intentionally ignore reality for want of that Hypnotist!
Now, have you ever had an acquaintance with one? Well here I have to make a few things clear; I certainly do not refer to a professional Hypnotist. Here, he is the one person who ventured in to your mind’s private territory without any permission and you not just feel belonged to him, but also welcomed him with all his splendour. He comes to you with a massive wealth of happiness and zest for living your life to the fullest. He makes you smile when you really want to cry, makes you laugh when you are tired and low, and holds you tight in his arms just to tell you…I’m right here. He creates a world so warm and cosy that you never want to venture out of it.
Just imagine yourself standing on a lonely beach at 12.00 noon, the sun right above your head and the wind – mild and warm (feels very warm due to the high levels of humidity in the air). The waves of the sea are relatively cold but don’t give you any comfort. And you get tired, despite standing at one of the most beautiful beaches. You hardly hear any sounds there, actually, nothing other than that of the waves coming and going off the shore in a lame and lazy pace. There comes the Hypnotist! You initially don't see him very well, your eyes are almost blinded by the harsh sunlight. And all you feel is a stranger walking up to you from a distance. He holds your hand and takes you closer to the densely grown coconut trees. He makes you sit down on the sand (initially it feels warm and you are not sure if you were happy to be sitting down there). But, you sit down quietly looking at him; into his eyes. He has a very calm expression on his face and appears familiar to you. He offers you a glass of water…not directly though. He holds it in his left hand and looks at the beautiful beach. He then points his index finger of the right hand to the Sun and slowly directs the sunlight to creep into that glass of water. There…you suddenly see the water sparkling as if there were floating diamonds added to it. It thrills you and brings this warm smile on your face. He warmly smiles back to you. He then points his finger to the clouds in the bright blue sky and directs them into the glass as well. This just looks so damn beautiful that you are in an awe of its beauty. The water in the glass is sparkling blue and looks calm and energised, equally. And at the end, he closes his eyes and points his fingers at his temples and directs that also to the glass. He opens his eyes and looks deep into your eyes, making sure none of you witness anything around. Before you may realise, the entire universe has changed, at that moment you only see his eyes deeply drowned in yours and you keep getting increasingly deeper into his. You have completely lost control of yourself and have willingly placed your fate in his hands. Somewhere in his eyes, you start noticing your image and smile. It's you inside him and then you allow the expanse of your aura to absorb him, your own Hypnotist. He offers you the glass of water and you have it. |------| Silence…..You don’t hear absolutely anything around you, its absolute silence. The only sense that works is your sense of taste. You have never had that taste before, its just as sweet as you would have always loved, just as warm or cool as you would have always found apt and just so calming as you may always have desired. You are floored by his art of making just the right elixir for you and you offer a portion of it to him as well. And he happily shares it. Its then, that you are a “united one” in a universe containing singularity.
It is this moment in life that changes your world forever. There after you do not feel the heat on the beach, you rather enjoy the sun. You do not feel strange about the sand slipping under your feet, you rather play with it. You do not find it a lonely dull place to live, rather it has transformed in to you very own private heaven. The Hypnotist of your life, changes the world for you.
I had read somewhere long back, that God created gaps between our fingers so that one day someone comes, holds your hand forever, fills up the gaps and makes us complete. Little, do we really think, this way. But, there is always this one magician who creates magic in your life, the one illusionist who creates a world so beautiful that you can witness it with joy until your last breath, and the one dreamer who teaches you how to dream. The One Hypnotist who pulls you close and makes you thrive in a world of your own dreams that he has created just for you.
