[Indian Mythology] Self-cultivation of male gods

140 two

The person who sells bracelets sprinkles gold rice on the pearls and precious stones on the bracelets, and let the gold rice stick on the bracelets to make them shine: "Buy one, customer, this is a good bracelet." Chuan!"

"But...it's not made of gold, friend?" Na Luoyan put down the bracelet, and picked up the foot bell on the other side.

The foot bell is golden, and it also shines brightly in the sun. The bell hanging on it is also engraved with patterns, and the copper plate that the foot bell is tied to is even engraved with lotus patterns.Who can say no to such beauty?

Narayan picked up the foot bell and looked at it in his palm. He thought it was really beautiful and lovely, so he showed it to Lakshmi.Lakshmi took a look at the foot bell and liked it very much, so he compared it on his wrist and asked, "Swami, shall we buy it?"

"Then I should buy a pair." Na Luoyan said, and picked up another pair, "Master, I want this pair of foot bells."

A pair of foot bells, and some messy jewelry, although they are all worthless things, they are exquisite and meticulous. After Goddess Lakshmi touched these things, they all turned into real gold. It's heavy in the hand.

She took a set of bracelets and put them on her hands, grabbed another set of foot bells and shook them, saying, "Swami, shall I wear them for you?"

Na Luoyan smiled and shook his head: "Goddess, I don't need it to dance."

"But I want to use it to decorate your feet." The goddess said, pulling him to sit aside, and personally put various ornaments on his ankles for him.Everything was so delicate and beautiful, at his ankles, against the brilliance of his feet.

"I didn't expect the Bodhara of Pharaharata to be so prosperous and beautiful. Narayan, I am sincerely happy for him." Lakshmi said, pointing to the lively crowd in the distance, "We Go over there and have a look?"

Of course, Na Luoyan would not deny her proposal.

They held hands and came to the crowd. In the crowd, a middle-aged man was arguing with another young man. Everyone gathered around and watched them quarrel.

"Just do it like this! You liar! Kanjiha, you are a big liar!" The young man pointed at the middle-aged man and yelled loudly, "You all judge the truth, everyone, everyone, trust the elders, wise men, you Give me a review!"

"I say big wrist, even though you are called big wrist, it doesn't mean your wrist is really big!" The middle-aged man Kanjiha who was scolded by the young man spread his hand, pointed at the young man and said, "You said you came to me What are you buying in the store? Tell me! Talk about it yourself!"

"Of course I'm here to buy statues," said the young man. "My mother asked me to buy statues..."

"Young man! Deity, can you say buy it? You have to say please—respectfully, take a deity back from me." Kanjiha interrupted the young man, "So, you said you would invite that Luo Xinhe's god statue, then I handed that Luo Xinhe to you, and then you said that I lied to you-God, what did I do to Luo Yanhe? How did I cheat him?! "

"But what I gave you was enough money to buy twenty god statues!" The young man spread his hands, expressing his helplessness, "And you just gave me one Narosinha!"

The young man's anger was about to explode from the top of his head. The money for twenty god statues was enough for their family to eat good milk for a year!

"Oh, I said young man! It is my hard-earned money that you gave me, and I used my piety and belief, and my adoration and love to build the idol... I said young man, you say so It’s a big mistake, if you want to hire a god statue, you can’t value money as an important thing, as much as you give me, understand? Otherwise, you are not pious enough, big man, do you understand?”

The young man called Big Whisper glared at Kanjiha.

He just came to buy a statue of a god, so how could he be less religious?

"Aha! Let me tell you that you don't understand!" Kanjiha began to deceive everyone with nonsense, "I say, listen to me carefully, big guy, a statue is the manifestation of a god in the world, do you understand? You Said that you asked the god to go back, and then you said: 'Oh, the shopkeeper, I gave you money, you have to give me back the extra money!' Do you think this is plausible? This clearly means how much the god is worth—— I said, child, God is priceless!

"You just took a little money and wanted to get a god, and now you got it, but you are not satisfied! My God! How can this be done!" Kanjiha raised his right hand and touched himself "It's really disrespectful to God!"

Hearing what Kanjiha said, Lakshmi couldn't help but look at Narayan, who shook his head with a smile.

"Swami, Kanjiha's sophistry is simply irrefutable." Lakshmi frowned and could not help but smile twice. Of course she knew that Kanjiha's approach was wrong, but she didn't know what to do. How to refute him.

Narayan nodded to her.

"Then... what are you going to do?" Lakshmi asked again.

"Goddess, of course I want to help Kanjiha." As Na Luoyan said, he shook his finger at her, turned around as a passerby, put his hands together, and walked forward with a worried face: "Uncle! Uncle Jiha! Uncle! I... I want to invite a god statue home!"

"Look, that's right!" Kanjiha puffed up his stomach at the big guy, "Young man, you are so unfamiliar, tell me which statue you want to invite!"

"Uncle...my neighbor lives in the distant land of the Lord of Life, and he travels all over the world to sell live goods. Since he invited a god statue from you, his business has been very good, so I have come here to find you from thousands of miles away. , just to invite an identical statue!"

"Aha! Then you've found the right person! My statue is amazing!" Kanjiha said, lifting the veil covering the statue, revealing a bunch of statues.All kinds, exquisite workmanship.

Na Luoyan walked up to this statue to have a look, then walked to another statue to have a look, and then walked around to that statue... He walked for a long time, and the people around him also looked at it. He walked for a long time, and Kanjiha also watched him walk for a long time... Everyone was waiting for him to choose a statue "the same as his neighbor's house".

"If it's really effective, I'll ask you to go home and make an offering!" Someone said.

"Look, let's see which one this young man chooses!" Someone else said so.

"Beautiful young man, look, I have so many statues here, which one did your neighbor invite?" Kanjiha asked, pointing to these statues.

"Hmm... I think there's something wrong, Uncle Kanjiha..." Na Luoyan propped his chin and frowned slightly, "Uncle Kanjiha, you made your idols yourself, right? "

"Of course!" Kanjiha assured, patted his chest.

"Then uncle, please tell me that these statues are all made by you yourself but there are still identical ones... I mean, if this statue can bless my neighbors, then I can invite an identical one to bless me too, yes Is that so?" Naroyan asked again.

He walked around in circles with Kanjiha, and Kanjiha was surrounded by him like this, without the slightest doubt that he would say something earth-shattering—at least for Kanjiha.

Lakshmi laughed from the sidelines—Narayan was indeed teaching Kanjiha, and he had always been partial to Kanjiha, a pious and intelligent believer.

And Na Luoyan put his hands together again, showing a puzzled expression, and asked: "Really..." He stretched out a long voice, "But, uncle, I want to know, what exactly is the god statue you built used to convey it?" What about the power of blessing? Look, they are all the same! And what about Bhagavan? Uncle Kanjihar, look, so many people are waiting to buy your deity....I want to say that if Without what I said, would everyone still be willing to buy statues in your store?"

"Young man, what do you mean?" Kanjiha narrowed his eyes.

"I just want to say, the statue, is it the statue that protects people, or the god that protects people?" Na Luoyan asked again, "I don't understand."

He spread his hands, pointed to the sky, and asked, "Look, there is Surya in the sky, so when you worship the sun god, do you worship the real Surya in the sky, or do you worship by carving a stone? Then Is the stone Surya, or the one that shines in the sky is Surya? So is it Surya who really makes the crops grow? Or is it the stone?"

Narayan's question was really harsh.

He finished asking this question, and after everyone thought about it for a while, he asked again: "Then Naluo Xinhe, he is a man-lion, the god of slaughter, and he is the incarnation of Narayantian. Worshiping him is tantamount to offering sacrifices." I worshiped Narayantian, so in the end, should I sacrifice to Narayantian or Naluo Xinhe?" He turned his head and threw this question to the big man.

"These questions are really too many." Na Luoyan said and scratched his cheek, "Oh, I can't figure it out!"

As he said this, he went to ask Kanjiha again: "Uncle Kanji, I still want to ask you, you said that your god is invited home, so I don't want to give money, just take it away What? Because I want to invite the statue back home—it’s ‘please’ and ‘go home’, so since it’s a matter of faith, then I shouldn’t ask for money!” As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take the smallest A statue of a god, and only this statue was made of pure gold.

When Kanjiha saw this, he almost jumped up out of anger, and when he saw that the smallest idol was taken—a pure gold idol—he was no longer angry, and had completely turned into fear and pain: "I God! I said young man! How can you take it away!" He jumped right at the feet of Na Luoyan, "I said this statue is a family heirloom! You can't take it!"

"Why? I took the smallest one." Na Luoyan asked again.

"me……"

"Uncle Kanji, look!" Na Luoyan laughed, "I didn't take so many big statues, but you don't want to take a small one...Then can I say that the statue is In your eyes, there are still different values? Since there are also values, why do you argue with the big brothers, saying that it is about piety?"
