On inevitability and the immortality of hope!

हर मुलाक़ात का अंजाम जुदाई क्यों है?

This one question has haunted me ever since a wonderful song chanced by me a few days back. The song in question, "Zindagi jab bhi.." from Umrao Jaan (of 1981!), can be streamed from this page (4th track).
For the bandwidth un-challenged, here's a download link.

Returning to the line. I don't quite know how and where to start, so here goes.

Why does every meeting result in separation?

"meeting": an instance of time-space coordinates intersecting for 2 or more people desirous of a rendezvous. A duration of time spent together, in a state of mutual sharing.

"result": The end product obtained from a process or operation.

"separation": An act of detachment or distancing between two previously closer entities.

All the above definitions have been taken from the my handy copy of the Standard Daily Usage Mental Dictionary.

On the face of it, the inevitabilities are overwhelmingly obvious. The very concept of meeting may (a certain degree of possibility) be seen a dual for separation, and thus semantically dependent mutually for real significance.
Also, the constancy of change angle may also be brought in to prove the truth behind this lemma/axiom/theory.

However, as I'd mentioned to the unsuspecting gtalker I'd bumped into that night, it is the scope of finding an exception to this rule, which makes this all the more fascinating.
To elaborate, the clouds of gloom that may appear by the helpless inevitability of this scenario, suddenly find linings in every possible hue, by the possibility of circumventing this trap of circumstance. The very idea, that there MAY be a day, when one could break free of this deadlock; when the shackles of logical conformity may get replaced by those of the most pristine forms of freedom, has the potential to inspire and alleviate beyond measure.

It is in this direction, that I shall perhaps attempt to grow all my remaining days. For now though, a few baby steps...

In the definition of 'meeting', the mentioned time-space dimensions are assumed absolute. That needn't necessarily be the case always. Being of the truly scientific temper, one can never rule out the existence of another latent dimension, waiting for our selves to grow out of our current cocoon. Perhaps such a discovery (at a VERY individual and personal level) would lead us to a realm where it would be possible to function perfectly parallely. Perhaps upon this finding, we would begin our journeys toward The Omnipotent.
Also, on a more earthly level (or maybe not!), the definition of 'together' is again rather subjective, and heavily dependent on various growth level parameters et al. So perhaps we may one day evolve to a state where we can be together in spirit, while on different continents/planets/galaxies.
I see this option shall eventually trail on to the first one only, so I'll leave it here.

Coming to 'result'. It isn't quite fair to restrict the scope of a word as momentous and significant as this, to just that which is observed/obtained in the end. Perhaps, the result of an exercise can sometimes be obtained at the very beginning, with the rest of the activity required to complete the shell in which the new born chick had grown.
{Pause.}

'Separation' now. To defy the physical boundaries set, I shall take the obvious route of questioning the predominance of physical perception. I shall hope that one day, the less tangibles within and without us, shall rise and claim their rightful place in our consciousness. This of course is a reversed way of hoping that we'll all grow and raise our selves to that level.

And I see, that the saar/crux of all the distinct points I've made till now, are immovably common. There always had been just one very slippery little point. One answer to all the stated issues, but with a million little faces, each overlapping with a billion others.

I can't quite put my finger on it yet, but it does have something to do with consciousness, love, peace, you and Him. The links among these variables, are part of the oh-so-convenient "To-be-Determined" list. But I believe, that the very fact that such a line was composed, and such a question crossed the minds of many thereafter, is part of the answer revealed (an immensely minuscule part, but still!).

It is this hope, against what at first glance seems to be a doomed walk in the park of eternal inevitables, that proves its essential immortality. "Hope springs eternal", they say. I feel it is one of the n core elements that live in us, beyond the realms of time and space.

And as long as there shall be paradoxes and conundrums as "hopeless" as the 1st line of this post, we shall know that hope has enough fodder to feed on; and that there is still present, a gloriously infinite reserve of untapped inspiration and bliss, waiting for the unassuming and unsuspecting simpleton to stumble upon!

Sigh...
