Are we in the midst of a ''rascal'', in the tradition, of the monkey, Hanuman, in ''The Ramayana'', enlightening through provocation and antic humour? Mere coincidence - ''Nobby Nutkins'' or ''skint nun, BYOB'' - symbol of society's moral bankruptcy in how it treats an impoverished underclass of women in the grand party of life? ''Mooo'', too, mere coincidence, or anagrammatic version of the ancient Pali word ''Ooom'' chanted in every moment of existence since first uttered by the Buddha? Thrice ''O''?! Isn't OM, the cryptic letter of the Brahmas, symbolic of Triguna - three virtues, Trideva - three deities, and the three states of worldly consciousness - awakened state, dreaming state and sleeping state? No, we must open our compassionate heart to our Nobby as he activates the Kundalini of the Aagya, or sixth Chakkra - sight through the two petalled lotus, or Third Eye. The paradox of his Awakening? - the tryst with the heiffer is, but, the karmic kiss of the sacred cow.
