💜THE BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY💜- A Different Point Of View

🔥MEETING OF LORD PARASHURAM 🔥

Karn who began to walk towards the hills rested near tree after 2 hours walk. He kept his bag down but heard some shuffling of water. He reached there only to see a woman struggling to lift the pot water. He rushed there and politely asked,"Can I help you, Devi??"

The woman had youthful look with divine face. She smiled softly saying,"Thank you so much dear!" Karn was about to touch it, when he retreated his hands asking,"I'm a sut, Devi? Will it be okay if I touch your pot! Because I don't believe in caste system". The woman looked at the boy with shock. How casually he said that he is from lower caste without any humiliation?? She said,"I also don't love to see anyone by their caste dear. If you want, you can really help me!!" Karn gave one heart melting smile resulting the woman to coo mentally at the child.

Karn secured his backpack safely over his shoulder and took the pot carefully in his hands. Being a chatterbox, he asked,"Devi! Are you living here? Is it safe? You have to house??" The lady chuckled saying,"I have my husband here, child. Meanwhile why are you here? That too alone??"

Karn smiled at her excitedly saying,"Devi! You know Lord Parashuram. I want to be his Shishya!" The woman's steps halted in her place. She solemnly said,"Dear, He do not teach..." Karn interrupted her saying,"I know I know ... it's ok, though. I'll make him agree, Devi! I'm known for my stubbornness!" The woman got her pot from the child's hands saying,"I bless you wholeheartedly dear! I hope you change his perspective on caste. All the best!" Karn bent down and touched her feet in respect and got a heartfelt blessings in return.

After the lady left, Karn reached the top of the hills, he saw one lone ashram, he concluded that it is where Parashuram resides. He waited calmly outside and the man inside came out. The man's aura was very powerful that even Karna was bit scared but his asusual confidence took place. He kneeled before Lord Parashuram saying,"Pranipaat Bhagwan Parashuram!!"

Lord Parashuram who has never expected any guest looked at the boy before him little surprised. Even his wife never disturb him here.  He hummed resulting the kneeling boy to look at him. Parashuram was bit taken aback. The boy's face emitted the positive and energetic aura. His eyes narrowed at the sudden Kshatriya aura around the boy and asked,"What do you want, child??" Karna didn't get up not he did not stop folding his hands. He slowly asked,"I want you to give me assurance that you will not get angry!"

Lord Parashuram was not the one who will be easily or difficultly surprised. But the child before him made him rose his eyebrows. He said,"I can't promise, Kid! But I'll assure you I'll not get angry for your childish questions!" Karn's eyes narrowed but he politely said, "I want to be your shishya, Gurudev!!" Lord Parashuram's face darkened.

But Karna cautiously put his words by saying,"I know you'll not accept me, Gurudev! I know currently you are getting angry. But I'm from Sut caste. Nobody helped me. Atlast I have no one. I want to quench my thirst for knowledge and bravery. I want to be better. I want everyone to believe that not only Kshatriya but other caste people also have talent to fight and be brave. If you still didn’t accept me, fine...."

Though Lord Parashuram was angry at first but the kid's rambling melted his heart a bit..but when he heard he I sut, he couldn't believe because Karn aura is unmatchable like a God! And on hearing the kid's last sentence he interrupted asking, "So, if I didn't accept you, you will give up??" Karn looked at Lord Parashuram little but surprised saying,"I didn't say that Gurudev, what I'm trying to say is I'll never give up. I already accepted you as my Gurudev".

Lord Parashuram began to walk deep inside the forest downwards from hills saying,"I still have not accepted you as my pupil. So you don't call me Gurudev!!" Karna didn't feel disheartened atleast his Gurudev didn't get angry. He exclaimed,"Oh It's okay, Gurudev! I'll not call you Gurudev!!" There was silence and They both reached River. Lord Parashuram sat on the rock peacefully watching the sunset while Karna sat before Lord Parashuram looking at him with wide eyes full of respect and adoration.
