Chapter 26: Shiva (2)

Badhump~ Badhump~

My heartbeat started racing faster hearing Shiva's explanation.

I was more confused by all the explanations, but I knew Lord Shiva will explain everything to me in terms that I can understand though I understood that I was somewhat special if even Lord Shiva also didn't know of such a case.

I asked Lord Shiva

"Shiva, but what should I do? When I broke through to the Spirit realm, I was led here. For what purpose do I have the Creation rune with me? Is there a way it can help me increase my authority to unlock Sky's memories? And is there a way I can mend my soul connection with the Universe back again?"

Shiva looked at me smilingly and said

"Lady, why are you hiding in his soul, please show yourself."

All of a sudden, I felt something stir up inside my soul as a form began to take shape near me.

It had a divine aura to it, as the being finally completed its transformation, she looked at me with a smile and then bowed towards Shiva.

"I was not hiding in his soul Shiva, I am bound to it. I was guiding him, after I heard his cries it resonated with me, his pain, his fear, his emotions and I decided to guide him in his journey." Sky's voice had emotions. This was the first time I heard emotions from her. She looked so beautiful that I was stupefied. I had never seen a more beautiful being in the world. Just who is she.

"Lady, if you are not hiding then why did you lied to Joy. I have lived his memories and I know for a fact that you are not his karmic avatar and I also know who you are. Though I understand that you lied to him for his good but no matter what a lie at the end is still a lie, if you wish to be with my disciple, you will have to come clean with him."

Two huge bombs were dropped in a single sentence. I was more shocked now.

Sky is not my Karmic avatar and she lied to me but what was more of a shock was that Shiva just referred to me as his disciple. It took me a while to just process this part.

Gulp~

As soon as I processed the disciple part, I ignored the lie part and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Shiva.

"Thank you and praises to you Lord Shiva for taking this lowly being as your disciple."

Shiva who was having a telepathic conversation with Sky, looked towards me and asked

"You are not a lowly being Joy, in fact no one is a lowly being. Higher dimensions and lower dimensions are just a phase of frequency of existence. If matter vibrates at a lower frequency, then it is called as Gas, in higher frequency it is Solid., but it doesn't mean that Gas is lower than solid both have their own existences and are equal in front of the creation.

You asked me why you were led here right; it was because I decided that the next guardian of this world should come from an inhabitant of this planet. There are many truths that you don't know and even the lady here doesn't know.

Though I won't be able to come here physically but my strand of consciousness and my avatar in this world will be the perfect teacher for you. We can talk about that later.

But tell me first why you aren't asking questions to Sky about why she lied to you?"

I looked at Sky and I was stupefied again by her beauty.

For a moment I forgot I was in presence of Lord Shiva as I said

"Sky, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Why have you never shown your face to me before? I was lonely for so long, you know. What's your real name?"

Sky blushed slightly and looked at me with love and affection, her gaze was so pure and gentle that it melted my heart.

"After even knowing that I lied to you, you are still not asking about that? Why?"

"What should I ask you? I was at the death's door when you saved me, I had no reasons to live for. I was just an empty shell back then but after you came into my life, it had only gone towards a better side, I am able to cultivate now which was always my dream. I feel free of the shackles of society.

I already feel blessed that you came into my life, what is there to complain about.

I trust you Sky, I believe if you lied to me before, there must have been a reason for it. And when the time is right you will let me know. I don't have many people in my life, and you are the one whom I trust the most. You can say in a way I am taking a gamble by believing you with all my heart instead of having a backup plan."

Sky shook her head listening to what I said, Lord Shiva too gave me a nod of approval. Before Sky could reply, Lord Shiva spoke

"I chose the right disciple this time. Joy always remember, though your journey will be full of solitude and you will constantly try to be stronger each day, but when you want to protect something, you can't do it alone. Having trust in your companions and having companions that are trustworthy is a blessing in itself.

During my journey, I too chose the inner reflection path of cultivation. I reflected on everything about me within me, why me, who am I, what am I and everything that made me, me. As I understood more and more about myself, I felt closer and closer to God, to the creation itself. But my path was full of solitude.

My dear friend Vishnu chose the path of empathetic understanding of cultivation. His journey was filled with people, experiences, sufferings, love, emotions. Vishnu tried to understand everything about others, he felt joy in their joy, cried in their pain. He loved like mortals, and died many times like mortals. Vishnu too understood the truth about the creation and made great progress in his path of cultivation by outer reflection. But he was never lonely, he always have people around him. Sometimes I too feel lonely.

Ahh, Devi I miss you."

Shiva ended his sentence with a hint of pain and loneliness.

I who was trying to process the two extreme paths of cultivation information that I just received also stopped everything after hearing Shiva's longing and pain.

At this moment Sky spoke

"Shiva, I know you want to start teaching your disciple right now but let me first come clean with Joy."

With a smile Sky looked towards me and melted my heart again.

She stepped forward and walked towards me. Standing in front of me she extended her hand

"Hi Joy, I am Gaia."
