Continuation….

The fruits that I've been given by Rishi are with different taste sour, sweet, salty, spicy and bitter. I ate them without complaining as i was craving for food. He then gave me some water in a mud pot. I drank the water.

Then i wished him to talk with me. But he was sitting beside but in his place doing his own business. Then i tried to interrupt him, cause i want to ask him some questions. "Rishi!" I uttered the word. He looked at me. His face is peaceful as if he hasn't faced the misery. His face has an aura which made me think that he knew what I'm about to ask. So i waited for few seconds thinking he will answer without asking. He asked me if i want something. 

Then i thought maybe he can't read people mind , so let me ask him some questions may be he will help me.

Then i asked him,"Swami ji.. Can I ask you few questions ? ".

He said," Go ahead."

I've explained him my problems. 

He listened everything. 

He asked me," What are the taste of the fruits ? But don't answer me. Answer them in your mind. "

I did what he said. I remained all the five tastes.

He asked me," Look at the tree under which you're trying. What did you observe?"

I said," I don't know the name of this tree. But I feel it is very huge. Even though it is looking of height 10 m."

He asked me," Why do you feel it is very huge ?" 

I said ," I don't know."

He smiled at me and said," Look! Even though the tree is just 10 m, you are feeling it is very huge because of your previous experience of seeing a huge trees which have broad diameter with broad leaves and numerous leaves like peepal and banyan. You'll get an idea of this is also similar. But indeed you're wrong. Cause everything is not alike and everything need not be as it used to be. And you're not believing what you see. And sometimes your eyes may deceive you but not all times. "

"Did you get what I've said ?" He asked me.

I'm struck actually. 

He then again said to me," Life is like a the fruits i gave." 

Think what I said in your mind. 

Then follow the way this flowers lead you'll reach your temple.

I said to him ," Thanks." Meanwhile, he closed his eyes and started his meditation.

I thought I can't ask him anything. 

I followed the path of flowers and i reached a hole which is large. I then i have heard calling," Sister are you there ?" I said," Ha. Yes. I'm here." They threw the rope inside the hole. I climbed with the help of that rope.
