The Superpower I'd Ask For

Before you read this, ask yourself the same question: what superpower would you ask for?

If I could have a superpower, what would I choose? (documenting my raw thoughts)

If Bhagwan shiv himself came in front of me, what would I ask for?

I thought about this a lot and first thoughts were very normal like I can transport myself to anywhere (teleportation, just searched the word haha), or eat anything I wish for free unlimited etc, while these were really exciting, I realised there was someone inside of me, someone who has higher expectations from me and made me realise that I am not a kid anymore, and to want something meaningful.

After some thoughts, next wish was - the power of meditation, to do any task with unwavering focus for as long as I wish to, without my body or mind or soul getting tired. But, I realised, I am missing the journey itself, to feel that path, from restlessness to rest, from distractions to this ultimate focus.

(not satisfied still...)

Maybe I will not ask for anything, that’s my answer to this questions, because nothing is permanent, there is nothing that can satisfy me (the ultimate satisfaction, after which I don’t need anything else ever) or something that would just magically solve all my problems. After all, at the end I will die, I will face the old age, the weakness, the diseases, the suffering, the pain.

Finally, I think I know what I would ask, not sure entirely, but if I must choose, it would be - the complete ultimate knowledge!

Who am I, what is this, who are you? (if any 'you' exists in the first place), What is the universe, what is reality, what are stars, what is our significance, what happens after we die, is this truly the end, or there is something beyond, what is death, what is life, will we remember our loved ones after death? Or will we all get lost in this cosmic sea of life and death, never knowing or meeting each other ever again, has this been going on since the beginning of time, we just meet for some years, then loose each other forever? Or was there never a beginning at all in the first place? So there will never be an end?
