The sun slowly emerged next morning somewhere behind a few buildings and had spread the charisma to the whole town! Piercing bright light got him woken up while the dew on grass where he slept felt cooler. It felt like an autumn with vibrant colors around him and he had fallen in love all over again coming back from last night’s memories!
As he got up and sat and looked around enjoying the morning mist, his senses dragged him towards the cave. There was something in there, someone talking, some fragrance, some power and something’s really happening…
He slowly crawled in and was able to overhear the chants once again. He tried to peep in but could hardly see anything from the corner where he sat hiding himself from being seen by the insiders. He concentrated hard to listen as he knew it wasn’t just the sanyasin inside.
It was the same chant that she had used to hypnotize him. He heard her repeat several times and after a brief pause, thus she spoke…
‘Are you fine?’
‘No’ said a female voice.
‘Does it pain?’
‘Yes’
‘Do you love him?’
‘Yes’
‘Does he love you?’
It took some time before she nodded with an acceptance. The sanyasin felt satisfied with the results as the answer was always a ‘no’ for this question for a long time. She continued with her interrogation.
‘Did they beat you?’
‘No’ said the woman.
It made him realize that this was the same woman who was thrown out last night by her own people and he laughed at her foolishness for hiding the truth and lying to the sanyasin that she was not beaten up! He felt like intervening but kept quite to see where it would end up.
‘Is she still there with him?’
‘Yes’
‘Has she come in between the two of you?’
‘Yes, yes, I need help, I need help’ the woman pleaded.
‘Does it pain?’ asked the sanyasin again.
‘Yes’ was the answer once again and there were no more questions.
The woman was made to drink some kind of liquid that flowed down through the cave while keeping her remained in her trance. The sanyasin noticed her carefully and made sure the liquid flowed down completely and began another round with new chants…
‘tathya anrutaasya
chala pratya
kathaa yaa’
As earlier, she reiterated many times and took the woman to the next level of unconsciousness. He waited patiently through all this and looked up from the same corner making sure he was not being watched or noticed by them. After many minutes of chanting and observation, the sansyasin again spoke.
‘He only loves you, he only wants you. Don’t worry, don’t leave him. She is not his wife, you are. She will leave him, you stay on. They haven’t beaten you, it doesn’t pain, and it certainly doesn’t.’
She let everything sink in the woman and in some time slowly rubbed on the woman’s forehead and her eyes and brought her back into consciousness. She asked her to leave and he crawled out of the cave.
As the woman walked out, he noticed her eyes were wet not because she cried but because of some liquid that was applied. She smiled at him and walked out of the compounds. The sanyasin followed in a while and saw his curiosity.
‘So you saw it?’
‘It’s not right, what you’re doing isn’t just right! I saw her being beaten so badly and thrown out of the house and you’re misleading her by sending back to the hell once again. What if it becomes fatal? Who’s responsible?’
‘It won’t be and you’ll see that’
‘Just by hypnotizing her do you think you’ll solve her problem?’
‘I won’t answer you, yet. You need to realize it, I can’t tell you unless you feel it yourself or through others’ she showed her genuine gesture and walked away cutting the conversation.
Yes, he didn’t understand what went on and looked puzzled all over again. But this time he demanded an answer and went back to the sanyasin to find it…
Continues…
