Chapter 2

As Pronu reached the shores of Leafland, he realized that it was no ordinary land. It was a magical land. It was completely made up of nucli like him, who had freed themselves from the patterns of nature. They have learnt how to live together. Each had a thick walled house to live in. They had an established method for communication. He knew he would learn a lot there.

The citizen of Leafland were hardly less astonished and inspired by the heroic act of Pronu. Though many of them had initially shown the guts to free from the patterns, this was something different. They were ready to teach Pronu, whatever they had learnt from years of meditation and experience.

This was a historical rendezvous.

Pronu spent most of his lifetime learning things like communicating with other cells and building your house fence. He was very curious and showed special interest in things which the native cells were still researching on. They were still trying to figure out means to communicate faster and finding answers to why they were made in the first place?

One thing which Pronu found difficult to learn was how to store energy inside his house fence , which could be used later. He also had no interest in working hard on it. The reason being that most of the time he was helped by some resident or the other with the energy which, the resident had stored for himself. The citizens respected Pronu for his courage and he in turn honoured their knowledge.

Pronu also realized that he differed in many respects from the citizens. One being he was less informed, but other being he was always less satisfied. The citizens of Leafland , with due respect were passive, according to him. They had escaped one pattern and were enslaved by this other one. That was not in his nature.

Many a times he had addressed the citizens about how they were supposed to do something, rather than just sit and think. He told them how they were judged by their actions . He never told them who was judging. Call it the lack of communication channel, but this judge-person was completely different for both of them. For Pronu it was he himself who was judging. For the citizens it was this person who they believed , created them in the first place.

After every such sermon, Pronu would advise them to forget about the dangers which might kill them and rather concentrate on what each one of them could achieve independently. He would end his speeches with a direct and assertive slogan "Leave land". He repeated it so often that after so many years we still remember the land by this name.

Leafland!
