[Indian Mythology] Self-cultivation of male gods

ninety

Sukara's meaning is very simple, what he hates is actually Narayanten, and even though Vasuji is a follower of Shiva, he refuses to help him, which also makes him feel resentful. Davas - those who are demigods.

They are demigod spirits who live in the air. Because they are demigods and have half their bodies as spirits, they often use disguised appearances to deceive the world. These Gandharvas are sometimes beautiful, and sometimes they are covered with hair. Like savages; sometimes they sing and dance, and sometimes they hold sticks like Rakshasa.

The relationship between Sukara and these Gandharvas has always been good. They have the same character as him, such freedom, such unrestrained, and such disdain for gods-these Gandharvas, they like to protect them by themselves. Soma juice, but they also like to steal the soma juice by themselves. They will not get tired of playing such a game for 1000 years.

And playing with them was Fei Tian.

The best of the flying heavenly beings, the beautiful expansive celestial □mile vāshé, she is among the gandharvas at this very moment.

This beautiful celestial girl, although she gave birth to Immortal Jiyu from her legs, Immortal Jiyu did not recognize her as her mother, and she was not the mother of Immortal Jiyu, she just gave birth to Immortal Jiyu for some reason , so she was depressed, but these Gandharvas, in order to make her happy, took her to the sky to experience the joy of teasing mortals.

Ordinary people are easily teased by Gandharvas. They show different postures in the air, revealing those beautiful and prosperous scenes. If ordinary people are obsessed with them, they will inevitably fall into their trap.

Sometimes, these Gandharvas will use this to deceive those beautiful boys and girls, trick them into heaven, and live with them until these mortals are old and they will be sent back to the world; Boys and girls who attract mortals who are not beautiful will get angry and kill mortals.

Therefore, Indra often fought with them.

But Indra didn't really want to kill these Gandharvas.

These Gandharvas will cause troubles from time to time. Of course, Indra cannot let them do those untimely actions. As the emperor of heaven, Indra has many things. He is not the first emperor of heaven, nor is he the first emperor. The second Emperor of Heaven, he became the Emperor of Heaven in this calamity, and may return to nothingness in the next calamity, or he may be called a mortal like Dios... These are the things that have been bothering him all the time.

However, these Gandharvas, their existence is the power that Indra must control at this moment.

The only thing Indra understands as the Emperor of Heaven is that the more he can control, the longer he can maintain his position.

The fighting strength of the Gandharvas is not amazing, but they have an insurmountable ability-charm.

"Indra!" Agni walked up to Indra and saw that he was watching the Gandharvas singing and dancing in the air, so he knew what he was thinking, so he said, "Why don't you go?" How about praying to Brahma or Narayan?"

"Agni, this is not acceptable. I will use my own power to subdue these demigods." Indra replied, "It is true that Brahma can give me strength and immortality, but power and indestructibility It is not eternal, when everything returns to nothingness, all of this will disappear, but before disappearing, how can I not make myself a more suitable emperor for this position?"

Everyone knew about Indios and Polydevi, and Agni felt that Indra's words were very correct, so he made up his mind to do this for his brother.

But when he went to find Brahma, Brahma said he could not help, so Agni, the god of fire, had to go to Vigongzha to find Narayana.

When he came to Vigongzha, Agni entered through the burning candles in the palace. He came in quietly, raised his head to look at everything here, and quietly raised the reverence rising in his heart above his head... Agni, the god of fire, Agni, the god of sacrifices, the god who devours sacrifices, how much he wishes at this moment that he can always listen to the teachings of Maha Vishnu in Vigongja!

He remembered that Vishnu turned into a white swan and explained the Vedas to them, the Devas, in the Brahma Realm. At that time, he longed to touch the feet of Vishnu with his forehead... But now, this emotion more intense.

At this moment, a calm and peaceful voice sounded: "Agni, come here."

Agni recognized that this was the voice of Vishnu, and he quickly rose from the flames, revealing his real body—as expected, Vishnu was sitting on the throne.

However, the great god Vishnu is not quite the same as usual at this moment. At this moment, he shows the form of "Brahman". This is a state of perfection. , It is complete and incomplete, it is existence and it is nothing, it is pervasive and yet it is only in front of you.

Agni saw himself in Vishnu, and in him Indra, Varuna, Surya, Vayu, Chandra, Simitivi... all of these, At the same time, he felt that what he saw was only Vishnu.

Maha Vishnu!

Agni recited his 55 names in his heart, and when he recited a name, he could get supreme kindness from it, and also burst out supreme love from his heart.

He clasped his hands together and saluted his lord, a deity that makes people have to renew their love. His feet stepped on the lotus, and at the tip of his toes there was clear water that nourished the lotus. This clear water was in the palm of his hand. , please let the clear water flow from your fingers, and the dust will drip, and the dust will bury the bones of the ancestors through such baptism.

"I am aware of your request, Agni." Vishnu smiled, seeing through and understanding.

Agni couldn't help feeling even more admired in his heart, and he asked: "Narayantian, can I know whether Indra can subdue Gandharva?"

"This still needs a process and a timing. Agni, you don't have to worry or be anxious. In this kalpa, Indra will be waiting for the end of the kalpa in the position of the emperor of heaven." Vishnu Answer him, "And at that time, you will all return to Me, and I will regenerate you again."

Agni, who originally planned to ask for help, had already forgotten his intention at this moment. He only wanted to listen to Narayantian's teachings more, so he asked many questions. Every question had an answer, but none of them seemed to have an answer. Finally, He asked: "Nandi, a follower of Mahadeva, came to the world. He preached the benefits of penance. Narayana, can penance make non-regenerates become regenerates?"

Vishnu laughed: "There are no real non-regenerated persons in this world, Agni, your wisdom is not yet able to comprehend these, but you should know that as the protagonist of the crematorium, when you put the corpses of non-regenerated persons Do you feel differently when you burn out?"

Agni shook his head.

Vishnu smiled very nicely at him.

And Agni didn't know that this is not the real existence of Narayana, but it is his reality—there are countless incarnations of Vishnu, but they are not really countless. Now he is explaining knowledge to Agni, It is one of them, this incarnation resides high in Vigongja, he pays attention to everything in the world all the time, and shares what he sees and hears with him all the time, just like the real Narayana who is not an incarnation.

Therefore, Narayantian was able to meditate and practice penance in Ji Luosuo's cave.

He closed his eyes and meditated on Mahadeva.

Mahadeva also closed his eyes and meditated on Narayan.

Their thoughts merged and their seas of consciousness merged.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, they face each other as if facing each other in Maya illusion, and as if facing each other in absolute reality.

"Narayan!" Mahadeva called him consciously.

"Maha Deva!" He called Mahadeva in his mind.

They looked at each other, but not with their eyes, but with their hearts, consciousness, and soul.

No one can understand such a complete manifestation of "Brahman" at this time. In their eyes, each other is the most perfect existence. Whether it is a believer or a friend, whether it is an incarnation or an avatar, they use it to praise each other. It is the most beautiful voice in the world—it is not a language, nor a song, nor a eulogy. It comes from the ancient times, the ancient times when the gods did not exist, the ancient times before everything was born, and the ancient times before everything began.

But at this moment, Mahadeva suddenly opened his eyes wide, and in the sea of ​​consciousness, flames suddenly rose from his body.

"Mahadeva, calm down... calm down!" Narayan was not afraid of flames, but he was afraid of the pain that the flames would bring to Mahadeva, so he embraced Mahadeva with his soul and extinguished the flames of his soul. Gradually extinguished... The moment the flame was extinguished, tears welled up in Mahadeva's eyes.

The tears were too turbulent, like a river, flowing from Mahadeva's eyes, flowing on Narayan's body, and finally disappeared on Narayan's beautiful skin.

Narayan sighed and let his primordial water envelop Mahadeva in it.

"Narayan..." Mahadeva finally woke up when he touched the primordial water. His eyes were red, his face was sad, and he looked at Narayan with the most painful gesture, "When the fiery love Burn my heart, when incomparable beauty occupies my eyes, when the sweet fruit will eventually become bitter... Na Luoyan, how should I do it, how should I see it, how should I taste it?"

"You can blame me for this, Mahadeva." Narayan knew what he had seen, so he replied, "Mahadeva, we can see the future but cannot change it easily...but if you hate this In the future, I will break it for you."

Narayan said this, but Mahadeva covered his lips, and Mahadeva kissed him lightly on the lips, conveying his love to him and his pain: "No, then Luo Yan, no, I will never let you break the future for me."
