Chapter 148 146. Not An Coincidence
Ashwattham had forgotten how much time he spent here, Neither did he care about that for the time being, All he right now felt was nothing, Nothing at all.
The visions were still surrounding him, the cries were still ringing in his mind and yet he unlike before did not care or rather he cared but did not react directly on and became emotionally unstable.
Rather he waited, He always waited to hear the other side's story, The story before he used to ignore and go in rage making his Rudra part excited to the extreme which as a result made him lose control of his body.
But thanks to he locked in a place nothing bad happened, He who once hated that he was immobilised in place was glad it was the case, The coldness that once generated fear in his heart was not generating warmth.
He finally understood what was happening. This was no Maya nor was it some trick of others but it was the legendary state of enlightenment, He somehow stuck gold.
Right now he has totally control over his emotions, Even in anger he is able to fully control his Rudra (The Roar Of Shiva) part, Not only control he is even able to grasp the time amount of control over the uses of that power.
This was his enlightenment, The one which taught him to control his emotions. Letting his emotions lose and run rampant is similar to letting go of the lease of chariot horses he was riding.
He also finds out how easily he loses control once he becomes That is foolish and deadly, which is the same with unrestrained emotions. In his anger previously he did not hear the other side of the story which turned out they were not evil as he first assumed in anger.
He also finds out how easily he loses control once he becomes angry and ready to do anything that he thinks is right and justice which his stable state did not agree upon.
And so he finally understood and conquered his own emotions. It's not that now he doesn't feel anger. On the contrary he was even more angry. It's just now he can restrict and redirect the anger towards something else.
He use that anger which was nothing but pure emotions as fuel to supplement him and his being, And hence why he suddenly became so calm, As while supplementing all the other negative things also washed from his body thanks to the constant activation of his part of Rudra.
"I get it, It was not the truth or the evil that starts the war, It's the unrestrained emotions that lead towards the destruction of mankind.*
Ashwathama spoke to himself and as his words were fallen all the vision and sounds around him stopped, There was silence which Ashwathama started before.
The sign of supremacy is going back to origin, He by the way also realised this space was nothing but his inner self, Which now he achieved the control over.
….
Ashwatthama opened his eyes slowly, And just to see Eklavya also doing the same, The time he felt like centuries that have been passed was actually mere seconds of real-world time.
Both of them looked at each other strongly, both had many questions but we were hesitant to ask for the unknown anxiety.
"Who are you?! And why are you here?"
"Who are you!? And why are you here?"
Finally, both spoke up at the same time overlapping each other, both looked at each other and burst out with smiles. As they get that both of them have gone through something similar.
Unlike Ashwatthama, Eklavaya has a smooth journey, He aldray had made the connection with his bow since childhood holding it dear to him as the bow being the last thing he has of his father.
His pure emotions of the lobe were the one who put life into the bow, And so because of the connection that was already there came into light and he accepted the bow as his main weapon.
He was just worried now how to tell that to his Guru Karna as Karna was excited about giving him a bow.
"*Exhale* Let me start, I am Nishad, A forest dweller. My name is Eklvaya, but now I am no longer a forest dweller, I am accepted as a student of a very knowledgeable and divine mysterious Guru, Who changed my life.
My Guru asked me to stay here until he comes to get me, And So my reason being here."
Eklavay was first to break the silence, He spoke with a proud voice as he mentioned his Guru, The respect and devotion in his voice were overfilled making even Ashwatthama taken back by it.
"I am a poor Brahaman. My name is Ashwatthama. It's just yesterday I came here with my mother and father. My uncle is the royal teacher here. You must be his student.
I am here actually to keep my food here because the friend I met yesterday who is celestial and extremely beautiful met yesterday told me to meet him in the royal garden at noon today. My mother packed us some food to eat, but I feared it would spoil if keep in direct sunlight.
So I came here as it was not too hot here and there was plenty of shade."
Ashwatthama felt strange, It was weird coincides, Both met unexpectedly and while he was helping this Eklavya he got enlightenment, Which was strange as it seems the glowing bow in the hands of Eklavaya also got something good like him.
This can't be a mere coincidence, But Ashwatthama can't put the figure on what is the key he was missing about.
"Uhmm, Brahamn Ashwatthama, Are you talking about a boy around 7-8 years old? Look so divine and beautiful that mere words are not enough to describe his beauty?
And he also does soothing things that others are not even sure are possible?"
Eklavya hearing how Ashwatthama describes his friend, Eklavaya become suspicious and out of worry he spoke up just to confirm the doubt of his.
"...Yes, Why?....My uncle is not your Guru, right?"
Ashwatthama was taken aback by the question of Eklavya but answered to him, After which he saw the look in his eyes and could not help but ask his own question.
"....No."
Eklvaya answered and both fell into silence.
"My Guru name is Karna."
"My friend's name is Karna."
Both spoke up once again overlapping each other and this time there was even more deep silence than before.
