Inside a bamboo forest, a middle-aged man is teaching the dharmic decree of yogic knowledge and the moral values of nature, and how to conduct oneself in his life.
Joey listened silently and analyzed everything he said in his mind.
The man stopped his lecture after two hours.
" Boy, come here. Let me check your soul sea and your mind." The man said.
Joey walked toward him and obediently stood before him. The man put his palm on Joey's head and started chanting a mantra. Then the lotus tattoo in his forehead started rotating clockwise.
Then the man closed his eyes and a big eye appeared above the soul sea of his disciple. He started observing everything inside the soul sea.
After half an hour later, the man opened his eyes and removed his hand from Joey's head. He looked deeply at him.
" Son, you seem to be calmed mentally but I can feel the presence of extreme greed, lust, and carnage hiding deep inside your subconscious mind. This will become a heart devil soon." He said.
He sees that Joey is not surprised by his statement. Actually, after his repeated incarnations-loop in his test on the 1st floor of the pagoda. Those were deeply encrypted somewhere deep inside his mind. So, he remained calm when he heard that from his master.
" My dear disciple, do you know what is the fastest thing in the universe?" The man asked with a smile.
"Might be some legendary birds?" Joey replied.
" Nope! It is our mind. Your mind can be anywhere if you like. Then, do you know the weakest and the strongest part of ours?" He asked again.
" Master, it must also be our mind," Joey suggested strongly.
The man nodded.
" You can cultivate your soul and body to make yourself stronger. But, what about your mind? It is the most fragile part of us. What you learned, heard, smelled, touched, everything you experience with your five senses every day in your life becomes part of you. Even if you never swear, suppose your bosom friend used foul language around you. Then, what you heard from him will become part of you. Everything will be imprinted in our fragile minds. " The man explained.
Joey listened and raised his question, " Master, how will it affect us?"
" Those hidden things on our mind will manifest when you are at your weakest or maybe in some emergency situation. We, humans, suffer not because of our poverty, weakness, and bad circumstances. But, we suffer because of our weakness and feebleness in our minds. Even some take their own lives to free themselves from their miseries. Do you understand? " The man said and looked at the lotuses and fishes inside the pond.
" Master, what should I do?" Joey asked him sincerely.
" We can train anything. Firstly, you can't remove it from your mind. So, I suggest you accept the fact that those are part of you and integrate them into yourself while nourishing them to the path that you want to walk in the future. From now onward, you should start silent meditation and start trying to forgive yourself for anything that happens to you. " He said and taught him the yogic meditation.
While Joey is trying to start his meditation sadhana, he hears the panicked voice of Long Ai inside his mind.
" Brat, your daughter is going crazy. I am sending her out now."
Then a whining little girl appeared beside him. She kept crying in a high-pitched voice. Just as she appeared, the weather around them started changing quickly. Suddenly, black clouds appeared around them and started raining heavily. At the same time, multiple lightning started hitting around them. Then followed the deafening sound of thunder. The first strike hit Joey directly on his head. He jumped, picked her up, and dodge the other lighting strike from the sky.
" Master, please do something. At this rate, this forest will turn to ashes." Joey said out loudly in distress.
" Papa, now you came to see little Xiuying. I miss you a lot. Hee hee hee. " The little girl noticed Joey. She stopped crying, hugged him around his neck, and laughed happily.
Then the atmosphere around them changed again. The dark clouds vanished quickly. The glasses, bamboos around him started growing rapidly. Also, the lotuses inside the pound started blooming and multiplying rapidly while the fishes around it grew larger and started jumping on the pound. The scenery around them has become more beautiful than before.
" Master, please help." He said and appeared before the man sitting in the chair the whole time.
" Son, is she your daughter? " The man asked while looking at the child lovingly.
Joey nodded unwillingly.
" Alright, give her to me. Little girl, I am your grandmaster. Come to me, I have a lot of delicacies. " The man said and gave a fish-shaped snack to her.
This time the little girl allowed him to pick up obediently. She takes the snack with one hand and while the other holds the little white tiger tightly.
" Good girl. Why do you hold the candy with just a hand?" The man asked dotingly.
" Grandpa, this little witty is a bit naughty. If I let him go then it will be hard to catch him again." The little girl said naively but it is cute to the other.
Then the man murmured a mantra in his lips and tapped on her forehead and removed his finger quickly. On her forehead a yellow color lotus appeared and also a golden color book appeared and lay just above the lotus. After that the rapid changes in the surrounding stop.
" Little girl, go and play around." The man kept her on the ground. Then the little girl happily ran and entered the bamboo house while holding the little white tiger.
" Master, what is wrong with little Xiuying?" Joey asked with a panicked tone.
" Calm down. It is a good thing for her. She has the 'Goddess eyes of Prakriti'. " The man said.
" Master, who is she ?" Joey asked.
" Arjuna once learned the art of archery from lord shiva. One day he asked the lord
Shiva about anything that can rival his third eyes. At that time Lord Shiva replied that there is only one thing that can rival his third eye's power in the entire cosmos, that is the power of the 'Goddess eyes of Prakriti'. " The man said while remembering the memories of Arjuna with Lord Shiva. After all, he is the clone made from both of them.
