MY FATHER'S DIARY
Once I happened to look into my father’s personal
diary. He wrote and highlighted the following three
lines which were narrated by his father while dying:
DON’T OPEN THE KNOT I GAVE YOU,
TOP SECRET IS IN THE
KNOT,
WHEN YOU OPEN, THEN YOU
DIE!
When I was ten, I used to ask my father: “What was
there in that sacred box that was always kept locked
in a special and glorified place of our entire
family?” But my father never told me about it. The
only thing he told me was: “Don’t touch the knot; If
you touch, you will die.”
By the time I saw my father’s diary, my father had
died. I then asked my mother, “What is there in that
sacred box?” She had always been suspicious about
revealing the fact, especially about the top secret.
She only revealed that the sacred box is being
passed on from generation to generation from father
to the son(s).
Later on, I made a vast survey on our family
antiques. I was glad as I found my grandfather’s old
table. I was very scared to look underneath the
table some message sculptured with very tiny letters.
I read the message with a magnifying glass:
MY SON:
DON’T OPEN THE KNOT I
GAVE YOU,
TOP SECRET IS IN THE
KNOT,
WHEN YOU OPEN, THEN YOU
DIE!
Thereafter, I commenced thinking about the top
secret intensely over and over again. My mind
day-by-day deeply penetrated into the levels of
origin within which I could determine some clue as
to what the top secret could be. The concentrated
mind has reached the depths in which the relaxation
of my so called "bruised genius” commemorated the
thoughts that had been appeared as the resulting
products of supernatural power encompassed by my
mind.

By awakening the giant within one’s mind, it is
possible to surmount the negativity, which usually
is the destructive force of one’s self-confidence.
The reason why one suffers or fails to perform well
is unaware due to the fact that one could not
utilize the mind appropriately in one’s attentive
nature, as the equilibrium of one’s thinking power
gets disturbed. Recovering back such equilibrium is
not an easy task because the mind lacks a great deal
of control. Making right decisions at the right
moment is the central idea of what we call the
empowered mind. Empowering a mind after all the
social barriers as a matter of fact involves a
consistent effort of cautious study of one’s own
self.
Last night, it came to me in a dream:
It was a religious gathering at my grandfather’s
home which was a huge bungalow of countless rooms
built with marbles. The rooms were arranged in a
zigzag direction. I tried to walk around but got
lost. Finally,
I managed to come back to my grandfather’s bedroom.
My grandfather was there at the front door
accompanied by my grandmother receiving guests of
all kinds from all around the world. I thought my
grandfather was a sort of pope as he dressed exactly
the way the pope dresses.
His crown was made of silver fabrics mounted with
badges and ornaments of all sorts.
My grandfather’s bedroom was decorated by paintings
and posters.
I walked towards his bed, which was covered by roses
and other flowers. I opened a little drawer that was there next to my grandfather’s bed, and
discovered my father’s diary. I was very delighted
to see my father’s diary, which I have been missing
for a long time. I examined the diary, and
recognized my father’s handwriting. On the last page
of his diary,
I read the following message entitled “top secret:”
Positive beliefs keep the mind in attention,
Mind can be polished by making
it thinking,
Suspense is bothersome,
But it helps exercising the
mind;
Think like a detective,
Inspect like a philosopher, and
Live like a thinker.
