জঙ্গলের সেই নিঝুম পথ এবং একটি অশরীরী অভিজ্ঞতা: বিজ্ঞান যেখানে নীরব

  প্রকৃতির নির্জনতায় কখনো কখনো এমন কিছু সত্য লুকিয়ে থাকে, যা আমাদের চেনা যুক্তি বা বিজ্ঞানের সংজ্ঞায় ধরা দেয় না। সম্প্রতি গভীর জঙ্গলের এক পরিত্যক্ত পথে হাঁটতে গিয়ে আমি তেমনই এক অশরীরী উপস্থিতির মুখোমুখি হয়েছিলাম। সেই রোমাঞ্চকর অভিজ্ঞতার গল্পই আজ আপনাদের শোনাব। আমরা অনেকেই মনে করি যা চোখে দেখি না বা যা বিজ্ঞান দিয়ে ব্যাখ্যা করা যায় না, তার কোনো অস্তিত্ব নেই। কিন্তু আমি নিজে যুক্তিবাদী হয়েও জীবনের কিছু অভিজ্ঞতায় এমন কিছু দেখেছি যা আমাকে ভাবিয়ে তুলেছে। আজ আপনাদের সাথে শেয়ার করব জঙ্গলের এক পরিত্যক্ত পথে আমার সাম্প্রতিক এক রহস্যময় অভিজ্ঞতার কথা। ​ প্রকৃতির এই নিস্তব্ধতার মাঝেই লুকিয়ে থাকে অনেক রহস্য। ​হাঁটতে হাঁটতে বনের গভীরে এমন এক পথে চলে এলাম যেখানে সূর্যের আলোও ঠিকমতো পৌঁছায় না। চারপাশটা কেমন নিঝুম হয়ে এল, মনে হচ্ছিল বাতাসের শব্দটাও কেউ কেড়ে নিয়েছে। ঠিক তখনই সামনে পড়ল পুরনো একটি ধ্বংসাবশেষ। ​   ধ্বংসস্তূপের মাঝখানে এক গা ছমছমে পরিবেশ। ​বিজ্ঞান হয়তো বলবে এগুলো পুরনো দালানের খসে পড়া অংশ বা বাতাসের চাপের খেলা। কিন্তু সেখানে দাঁড়িয়ে আমি যে অশরীরী উপস্থিতি অনুভব করেছি, তা কোনো য...
