Part 65 After a long...
Arnav and Khushi were horrified to see the blood oozing from the stone. They moved back, looking at the stone fearfully. Arnav looked at Khushi with eyes filled with confusion.
"What's this, Khushi?" Arnav gulped down.
Khushi thought for a while and knelt in front of the stone.
"Khushi, what are you doing? Get up, Khushi... it seems wrong..." Arnav said nervously.
"Wait, Arnav sir"
Khushi started removing the mud around the stone. To their surprise, the bleeding stopped immediately.
"Khushi... what don't do this..." Arnav shouted and stopped, seeing that the stone looked smooth and round in shape. He came close to it and knelt, looking at Khushi. He also started removing the mud. The round shape of the stone evolved into a cylindrical one. They fastened the action. After a few minutes, they found a stone around the cylindrical stone. Arnav and Khushi looked at each other and gulped down. It was a Shiv Linga.
"Khushi, this is..."
"Shiv Linga..."
"What's all this, Khushi?"
"Didn't I say, there is a reason for you to get the ring?"
"What reason?"
"To show this Shiv Linga to the world"
"You mean, I found the ring only to find this Shiv Linga?"
"Yes, many people have crossed this path for many years. Why didn't they find this? Why you?"
Arnav had no answer.
"We should inform Uncle Arvind of this."
"Let's go..."
"Any one of us should stay here."
"But, why?"
"This is the most sacred thing... we can't leave it just like that. Uncle will discuss with the Siddha temple Pandit and decide what to do. Uncle will arrange for someone to be here then. After that, we will leave"
"Ok, will you go or shall I?" Arnav asked Khushi, giving her a chance to decide.
"I will go... You stay here," Khushi said.
Arnav nodded ok. Khushi left the place. Arnav sat in front of the Shiv Linga silently.
Khushi came to the Palace and told him what happened. Arvind was stunned.
"Is it?"
"Yes, uncle. Arnav sir is waiting there. I came to tell you the matter"
Arvind called his squad.
"Khushi, take them with you. I will bring Sidda temple Pandit to the spot. He will tell us what to do"
Khushi nodded ok and went back to the spot with the squad. Arvind headed to the Siddha Temple.
When Arvind came to the Siddha Temple, he saw the Pantid doing harti. He waited for him to finish it. The Pandit finished the harti and smiled brightly at Arvind. He rushed to him eagerly.
"Did he come?" he asked.
"Who? What are you asking?"
"Didn't anyone find anything?"
"Yeahhhh... Arnav found a Shiv Linga under a Vilva tree..."
"Om Nama Shivaya..."
"But, how do you know?" Arvind asked unbelievably.
"Just now, I felt it while doing harti"
"This is why I came here... I know you would tell me what to do," Arvind said.
"It's simple... Shiva needs a SHELTER in Sivan Kudil"
"You mean, a temple?"
"Yes... We should build a temple for the Shiv Linga."
"In the same place?"
"Yes..."
"No problem, the place belongs to the Palace only. I will start the work. Find a sacred date to start it"
"Sure... first, let's go to the place"
"Yeah..."
Arvind started to the spot with the Pandit.
In the meantime,
Arnav leaned on the Vilva tree. He wondered about his life. He didn't know what or why all of them were happening. He was facing things that no one could imagine. He looked at the Shiv Linga with many questions.
That was when he sensed someone behind him. He saw a man in a dirt outfit standing. Arnav noticed him looking at the Shiv Linga.
"What's this, Your highness? I had never seen this here before"
"We just found it."
"Found it? But how?"
"I just scratched my ring on the stone, and it started bleeding"
"Bleeding? How could a stone bleed?"
"I, too, don't know how a stone bled..." Arnav said.
"You should not get the answer if you see that as STONE"
"Means?"
"See what's in the stone"
Arnav looked at the Shiv Linga.
"Didn't you understand?"
Arnav frowned.
"Do you say, it's not stone but Shiva himself?"
"Then, how did the stone bleed?"
Arnav stood up, jerking.
"Don't be scared... be devoted... God needs the same"
Arnav became thoughtful.
"Who are you? How do you know such things?" Arnav asked.
"Just because I'm looking dirty, do you think I know nothing?"
"No... not like that..."
"How could his clothes be clean if he is inside the MUD?" a voice came from behind him.
Arnav looked at the man, and his face was filled with delight at seeing Ghorakar there. Arnav forgot everything. He rushed to him and hugged him.
"Thank God, you came back. You know how much I wanted to meet you?"
"I know"
Arnav broke the hug and smiled.
"I'm sorry, I hugged you in the excitement..."
"No problem. I'm a simple man in front of Lord Shiva... after all, you hugged him already"
"Whaaat? What did you say? I hugged Lord Shiva?"
"Just remember..."
"You mean, Kasi? The undertaker?"
Ghorakar nodded.
"Is he Lord Shiva?"
"Don't you know he was found in the graveyard?"
Arnav was speechless.
"I can't believe this"
Gorakar smiled. That was when he noticed that the man in dirty clothes was not there.
"Where is he?"
"He is here only"
"Where?"
He pointed at the Shiv Linga.
"What do you say?"
"He looked dirty because he was covered in mud"
Arnav was stunned.
"I don't know why all this is happening to me"
"It's because you are blessed... due to your previous birth penance"
"But, why don't I remember anything?"
"It needs a spiritual practice to know your previous birth. You will attain it in a few years."
"What should I do?"
"You don't have to do anything. Submit everything to Lord Shiva and do your duty without expecting anything"
"You said you will not come in front of me if I learn who you are"
"It's necessary for you to learn who I am. That's why I told you who I am, even after you didn't ask me"
"Why? What's necessary?"
"You should know who you are"
"Who am I?"
"Try to know that"
"How?"
"Just do your duty and start trusting GOD..."
"How could I not trust god after experiencing unimaginable things in my life?"
"That's great"
"What about Khushi? Didn't she have such a story?"
"Don't worry... she will be with you. This is your LAST birth, and you guys will leave the world together... after living your life happily and doing enough for society" He smiled.
Arnav sighed in relief. He didn't care about his LAST birth. In fact, he was glad because Khushi would also leave the world with him.
"Thank you so much..." he said gladly.
"Whenever you are confused or tense, go to the Sidha Temple. You will get the solution"
Arnav nodded.
That was when he heard,
"Arnav sir..."
Arnav looked at Khushi and smiled.
"Khushi, see here..."
He looked next to him and was perplexed, not seeing Ghorakar there. Arnav opened his eyes and looked at Khushi, who was looking at him. he sensed he had slept deeply, and what he saw was a dream.
