के
रे ?
हो , यस
ऐना र
त्यसैसँग संबद्ध लेन्सले तिम्रो पिडायुक्त प्रतिबिम्ब यानिकी हरीयो रोगी–पिडित
आभालाई समात्छ ।
अनि, यसैसँग
जोडिएको कम्प्युटरको सफ्टवेयरको सहायतामा तिम्रा पिडा,
शोक,
ग्लानी,
निराशा,
आदि
एक–एक
गरेर मेशिनले छुट्याउँछ र
डाटाबेसमा सुरक्षित गर्छ । अल्ट्रासाउण्ड प्रबिधिमा गर्भमा रहेको बच्चा/भ्रुण कम्प्युटर स्क्रीनमा देखिए जस्तै
तिमिमा उद्देलीत र होंडलिएका पिडाहरु यो 'ऐना' मशिनको कम्प्युटर स्क्रीनमा देखिन्छ ।
कुन पिडाको घनत्व, प्रबलता, आयतन र अरु मापनहरु कति छन् तिमीले
तथ्याङ्कको रुपमा मोनिटरमा देख्न र बिश्लेष्ण गर्न पनि सक्नेछौ ।
यो 'शोकसन्तप्त ऐना' एउटा यस्तो मेशिन हो जसले तिम्रा
पिडाहरु,
तिम्रो
प्रतिबिम्ब मार्फत, आफुमा समाहित गरेर त्यही
समय तिमीलाई पिडामुक्त गरीदिन्छ ।
आफन्ती तिम्रा मरेका हुनेछन् तर शोकको
पिडा यो मशिनले खेप्छ ,
बोक्छ
, या
त्यस्तै
केहि ।
यो
प्रक्रियामा हाम्रो के हराउँछ त , आत्मा
?
आत्मा हरायो भने त तिमी भित्र
जिवात्मानै रहँदैन पो त ।
त्यसो
भने के हराउँछ त प्रोफेशर साहब ?.
स्मरण , सपना
।
पुरानो पिडाहरु रहित आउँदो जिन्दगीका
लागि तिमीले फेरी नयाँ स्मरण बुन्नुपर्ने र सपनाहरु बाँच्नुपर्नेछ ।
अनि
त्यो पिडामुक्त प्रतिबिम्बलाई हामीमा पुर्नस्थापना गर्न सकिंदैन र ?
सकिन्छ ।
तर त्यसको बदला तिमीले स्वत केहि
चुकाउनुपर्छ ।
के
त ?
शुद्धता ।
तिम्रो प्रतिबिम्ब एक पटक मात्र पनि
बाहिर पुगेर भित्र आउँदा पक्कै अशुद्ध भईसक्नेछ ।
तिमी तिमी रहने छैनौ ।
शरीरको त्यही पुरानो चोलामा, तिम्राहरुले नभेटेको, अर्कै ब्यवहारको नयाँ मान्छे बाँच्न थाल्नेछ ।
What?!
Yes, this mirror and associated lens will capture the
pain ridden reflection, means the traumatized – ill green aura of yours.
The computer, with its software, part of this 'Mourning
Mirror' machine will classify all your pain, grieves, guilt, dejections,
etc. and secure them into its database. Just like in the Obstetric
Ultrasonography where you see a moving fetus in the computer screen, the
computer screen of this Mirror will show all the pains and their
conflicts inside you.
You will be able to access and analyze the statistical
data for their densities, intensities, volume and other measurements observing the
monitor.
This is a type of machine that will annex your pain,
obtained through your reflection, into itself and make you painless at that
very moment.
Your beloved has died but it will be the machine that
will have to grieve and suffer, a sort of.
What
will be lost in this takeover, soul?
If the soul is lost there will be no existence of
the Living Being inside you.
Then
what will be lost Professor Doctor?
Memory, Dreams.
For the new life ahead, and without those pains, you
will have to stitch new memories and live new dreams.
Can't
we reinstate that Pain-free Reflection into us?
Yes we can.
But you will have to automatically pay with
something.
What
would be that?
The Sanctity!
The purity in your reflection is certainly lost even
if it steps outside of you only once.
You will not remain yourself again.
A changed man with changed behaviour, never known to
your near ones, will start living in the old self of yours.
Probably,
one of the shortest science fiction ever written.
