"The Aaaha Moment!!!"

An interesting conversation struck with one of my senior colleagues yesterday. Almost like Santa he gifted me this phenomenon and called it the ‘Aaaha moment’. The conversation took a spiritually realistic path where we discussed topics from carrier, books, philosophy to religion. Surely the beer also acted as a catalyst to the conversation.

The ‘Aaha moment’ an interesting term coined for the ‘moment of realization’. The moment is pure, real and most of all it’s a feeling of elation to acquire knowledge. That moment of perfect elation and understanding gives you the feeling of ‘Aaha…” which also in turn comes from a ‘flow’. The flow of our thoughts.

Now the next question was how many of these “Aaha moments” do we need to come across to attain self realisation? Are they defined or pre-fixed? What and how many of these ‘Aaha moments’ must have Jesus, Buddha, Nanak, Mohammed achieved to attain a state of knowledge to in turn spread it to humanity. What were those “aaha moments” that they achieved? They were the once who probably knew a deeper secret through the “Aaha path”. Probably that’s how religions were born where these people realised that they need to share these “Aaha moments” with the world for them to attain “Realization”. Hence religions were documented and achieved where certain set of rules were penned down to reach those ‘Aaha moments’.

Let me take this question to another level…!!!

It might be possible that all these great men of history actually knew that the entity ‘GOD’ never existed. May be that was one realisation that made them what they were. Probably those ‘Aaha moments’ they had was the realisation of god itself. May be that’s the reason they wanted the world to experience it. “The Aaaha moment of GOD!’

Steps to the ‘Aaha moment’….

Now the big question, how do we take the first step to that ‘Aaaha moment’? The answer to this question lies in ‘Question’ itself. The moment a person begins to question things around him, his presence, his beliefs he unconsciously climbs the first step to the Aaaha moment. With the question begins the quest of finding an answer. “Answer achieved! Aaha moment achieved.”
