[Indian Mythology] Self-cultivation of male gods

78

Mahadeva wanted to see the miracles of Narayan, and he called on Narayan to show him the dazzling magic.

For Mahadeva, Narayan is his belief and his love. He is passionately focused on Narayan, and he naturally focuses on all people-everything in this world, no matter what caste, no matter what kind of person they are. Creatures, they all come from Narayan, so how can Mahadeva refuse their request?

But this time, he hoped to see the grace bestowed by Narayan.

The ascetic still sat on the rock in meditation.

He has been meditating hard for a long time... His wife and children were crying at home, but he never cared at all—meditation was the only thing he wanted, and what he wanted was the benefits obtained after meditation.

"Look, craftsman, you see you work hard every day, but what have you got?" Narada's apprentice, the green Jinjiang fairy, knew his master's way of persuasion well. , and said to the ascetic, "Do you know the golden bed? That terrible Asura? He is an Asura, but he can get such a powerful blessing through asceticism-craftsman, do you? Do you want to Do you want to be a craftsman all your life?"

Because of this fairy's persuasion, now this craftsman has become an ascetic.

He wholeheartedly wanted to get more—Brahma blessed the Golden Bed, and the Golden Bed could become the Lord of the Three Realms, but he didn't need that much. He used to be a craftsman, and now he just wants to get the power of a craftsman. King's position.

Regardless of whether there is such a position as the king of craftsmen in the world, as long as he wants it, he can get it through hard work!

And his poor wife, it is really useless to pray for peace and peace in front of the idol every day, it would be easier to ask God for two cows that can produce milk!

So, he came out to practice penance.

"Om - Namo, Maha Vishnu!"

"Om——Namo, Poshe Tharaga!"

"Om——Nan Wu, the one who forms a human and a lion!"

……

As long as he recites 55 titles, the ascetic can get great merit... The Immortal Narada told him this, and his apprentice even said that the number of this title will increase to a thousand in the future, so the 55 This name is so simple that he must recite it sincerely-it is much easier than having to recite a thousand in the future.

The craftsman thought the same way, but he forgot to ask how long it would take for the names to increase to a thousand—he just recited 55 names of Lord Vishnu, meditated under the tree, and meditated for three months. Until the bullock carts of Narayantian and Mahadeva came here.

Mahadeva asked Narayan to perform miracles, and Narayan had to agree.

However, how could he tell Mahadeva that the ascetic was found by Narada and his apprentice Jinjiang?

This man, he is a businessman, a real businessman, and after a long time, he will become a complete believer in Narayan, but now he is not a complete believer-he only believes in what can bring him benefits Gods, not gods of the whole world.

A god cannot always belong to one person.

Anyone who tries to monopolize the gods will be destroyed...even though this person is just a mortal.

Na Luoyan's heart moved, and he appeared in front of this ascetic.

When Na Luo Yantian's divine light shone on him, the ascetic forgot everything he wanted. He was so excited that he fell to the ground, took up the sand from Luo Yantian's feet with both hands and sprinkled it on top of his head: "Ah, that Luo Yantian! I am so lucky to be able to see you in front of me! I am so unfortunate! I am so unfortunate that I cannot invite you to my home, cannot see your face every day...not every moment All bathed in your divine light... I am so unlucky! My misfortune has already swallowed me! Then Luo Yantian, I am so unlucky!"

Crying about his misfortune, he fell to the ground, weeping in a miserable voice.

Na Luo Yantian smiled and asked: "Your penance has pleased me, craftsman, you can tell your request now."

"I want to follow you...I want to see you day and night, Na Luo Yantian!" The craftsman replied, his hands clasped together, his eyes full of longing, "I want to be surrounded by your God all the time." Light shines, O Narayantian!"

"But you still have a wife, craftsman?" Na Luo Yantian asked.

"My wife is also your devout believer, Luo Yantian, if she knows that I am following you, she will burst into tears with joy, then Luo Yantian, please don't worry about this, her family will take care of her, her father died She is strong, and most of her brothers are rich, so I will go with you, which will not let her starve to death." The craftsman replied, "Please grant my request, Luo Yantian, I want to leave with you, I want to hear your beautiful voice every day, see your beautiful face every day, and sprinkle the sand you stepped on my head every day... Hope to be the lotus flower under your feet!"

This craftsman is truly devout.

But his piety made Lakshmi angry.

"Not everyone can be the lotus at the feet of Luo Yantian!" Lakshmi widened her eyes, wishing to curse the craftsman immediately.

However, she had to give up the anger at the moment: "No, I can't curse him, I can't curse him because of his passionate love for Na Luo Yantian... He loves Na Luo Yantian because of Na Luo Yantian's perfection, and since he is How can I curse a person who can see Luo Yantian's perfection?"

"Goddess, he wants to follow Narayan." Mahadeva wanted to curse the craftsman at this moment.

"Mahadeva, any follower of Narayana—true believer—will not get my curse, they will only get my blessing." Lakshmi said, "Just like your believer in Mahadeva, your loyal and true believers, Narayantian will never punish them, he will persuade them, guide them, and let them go on the right path."

Lakshmi's words made Mahadeva happy, so he put down the trident he had already picked up.

As for the craftsman, he was still praying to leave with Na Luo Yantian.

Na Luo Yantian had no choice but to say: "You still have children. If you are unwilling to support your wife, then it is your responsibility to raise your children. Craftsmen, you have no right to throw them away. Throw them to your wife. Do you know how terrible your behavior is?"

"Narayantian, you are my lord, my master, and my god. I dedicate myself to you and serve you with my life. How can this be called a terrible act? I have gold coins, I have a lot of gold coins, and I will leave them to my children, they have money, so of course someone will feed them and give them water!"

"Crafter, come with me." Luo Yantian stretched out his hand and led the craftsman to his side, "Let's go see how fragile human life is."

This is an era of consummation in which ordinary people, even Sudras, can live to be four hundred years old. How can human life be fragile?

However, Naluo Yantian took him to see the beginning of life and the end of life.

When people can live to be four hundred years old, some people will still die from lack of food and clothing, some will still die from wars, and some will still die from thirst... Sickness, pain, despair, and even the possibility of death And die too... What a terrible world this is, what a terrible future!

The craftsman saw that his daughter was discriminated against for not having a father. She could not get married and could only work as a maid. As a maid, how easy it is to be forcibly taken away!

In the end, she burned her to death because the mistress hated her for seducing the master—only the flame could purify her body.

And he saw his son go to avenge his sister, and he was shot dead by the enemy with arrows before he had gone far. His body was full of arrows. When he died, he didn't even have a good piece of flesh on his face. .

The craftsman screamed in fright. His crying was so loud that it could penetrate the three worlds.

The immortals in the Brahma Realm were frightened by the cry, and they hurried to see what happened, and at this time, Brahma also went to see it together—they opened the vision of spying on the human world in the Brahma Realm. From here, See Luo Yantian's blessing to the craftsman.

The craftsman wept and hugged Na Luo Yantian's feet, he couldn't believe that he would almost let his children suffer such pain, and he wanted to get close to Na Luo Yantian wholeheartedly, which made him in a dilemma, the pain was gone Deep into the bone marrow.

Then Luo Yantian raised his hand and blessed him: "I will bless you, Kanjiha, I will bless you. In your reincarnation, you will be called Kanjiha, and I will personally lead you to become my disciple."

The craftsman named Kanjiha suddenly became happy. He smiled through his tears and raised his hands to salute Narayantian.

Kanjiha, a craftsman who does not seek caste, profit, invincibility, or longevity, is even willing to be a Vaishya for life after life.

And because of his piety, he will get far more than all who ask for those benefits.

So, Narayantian restored Kanjiha's thin and withered body due to penance, made him plump and beautiful, and gave his daughter a set of bright red sari. As long as she wears it, her skin will be brighter. It will become fairer and fairer, its face will become more and more beautiful, and its figure will become more and more beautiful; and what his son gets is a pair of armlets. As long as he wears these armlets, his craftsmanship will be among mortals. The best, whether making clay pots or carving stone statues, he can get the best pay.

And when Kanjiha just got these, his wife came running with their children-of course Mahadeva would not let Kanjiha really go on the road with Narayan, so he went to take his wife and children They brought them together, but who knew that when he came with the mother and son, Kanjiha didn't intend to go on the road with them.

Narayan shook his head at Mahadeva, smiling helplessly.

Just now Mahadeva closed his eyes and saw the reason of the matter clearly—indeed, the blessing of Narayan was very different from his, and Mahadeva couldn't help sighing in his heart, such a blessing was something he never thought of. of.
