So, you know how people give the bribe of Heavens to people so they attend the religious places and worship God? Like 'if you do these rituals, you will go to heaven'

So, you know how people give the bribe of Heavens to people so they attend the religious places and worship God? Like 'if you do these rituals, you will go to heaven'. 'if you pray so many times, you will go to heaven'. 'if you believe in God, you will go to heaven'.

Yeah, that never happened in Gurukul. They don't give the bribe of heavens to people so they follow dharma. No, all they had ever done was clearly state the logical reasons for following dharma. You simply have to because that is the right thing to do. Devansh have the eternal duty to fight asuras and make sure dharma stands.

Though, I am kind of disappointed that Guru Vashista never told me about the kind of treatment I would get in Heaven. Maybe Swarga was not so bad after all.

The bed I was lying on was almost like sleeping on clouds. See, I'm used to luxury. My life had been comfortably luxurious with Nana. But this was like sleeping on a feathers having a silk blanket. 

"Oh, you're finally up." Okay, if I was alive, I would have died for a second time with the person before me.

Half of her hair was up in a bun and the other half was let down. A white and pink skirt. White, pink and blue embroidered kurti. A simple gold chain around her neck, earrings, a few rings on her finger and bracelets on her wrists.

I had seen her photographs several times but seeing her in person was something altogether different. I had never even expected it. The air which surrounded her was so pure that no sadness can exists around her. I understood why every girl is called Mahalakshmi by all their fathers. Just standing in her presence would make someone happy. You don't remember what made you worried or sad in the first place. Just her sweet smile would make you forget all your worries.

The greatest fortune one can receive is being able to be happy. Satisfaction and happiness are what everyone strives for. The way she extrudes happiness is why she's called the goddess of wealth. That is the wealth she had in addition to all the material wealth in the world.

Maa.

I tried to get up when intense pain filled me. Surely. I was not dead. A dead person cannot feel pain. Soul feels only emotional pain and not physical pain. The pain which surged through me was intensely physical. As if each and every inch of my body was going through some kind of painful treatment.

"No. No. Don't move. Bhaiya did stitch you up but you have to be really careful. Also, what were you doing to get so intensely injured? You should be really careful. How can you be so careful and get injured so badly? "

Ummm.... I kind of died. Oh, no. Not died. I was killed. Killed by Virat.

Wait. What exactly happened? Did I somehow survive?

How did I get to Maa? Surely, I'm not in heaven.

Maa sat down next to me. "Can you speak or is it hurting to even say anything?"
