Once there was a young monk named Dharma who lived in a remote monastery nestled in the mountains. He had dedicated his life to the teachings of Buddha and spent his days in quiet contemplation and meditation.
One day, as Dharma was walking through the forest, he came across a beautiful young woman named Maya. She was lost and in need of help, and Dharma could not resist offering his assistance. As he guided her back to the main path, he found himself drawn to her gentle nature and kind spirit.
Over the next few weeks, Dharma and Maya met frequently, and they soon fell deeply in love. However, Dharma knew that as a monk, he was forbidden from pursuing a romantic relationship. He was torn between his love for Maya and his commitment to his spiritual practice.
Dharma sought the advice of his mentor, the wise old abbot of the monastery. The abbot listened patiently to Dharma's dilemma and offered him some sage advice. He reminded Dharma of the importance of detachment and advised him to let go of his attachment to Maya, as it was a hindrance to his spiritual progress.
Dharma took the abbot's words to heart and decided to renounce his love for Maya. It was a difficult decision, but he knew that it was necessary for his spiritual growth. He continued to see Maya, but he kept his distance and focused on his meditation practice.
Years passed, and Dharma became an accomplished monk, revered for his wisdom and compassion. He remained celibate, but he never forgot his love for Maya. When he heard that Maya had fallen ill, he knew that he had to go to her.
He traveled to her village and found her lying in bed, weak and frail. He sat by her side and held her hand, offering her comfort and solace in her final moments. Maya looked up at Dharma, and in her eyes, he saw the reflection of his own love.
As Maya passed away, Dharma realized that his love for her had been a pure and selfless love, one that had strengthened his spiritual practice and brought him closer to enlightenment. He returned to his monastery with a renewed sense of purpose and continued his meditation practice with even greater dedication, grateful for the lessons he had learned through his love for Maya.
Well, the entire story of this monk is based on his own purpose, this story isn’t real, but might be real in the whole stories of the monks out there.
You might be wondering, why would I end the story in a complete sadness, or you might be thinking that I am taking a decision against the relationship.
Well, this segment of the podcast is going to stand in my entire life as a mirror reflection.
Most of the people whom I encountered in my 28 years of life has just asked one question. What did you achieve by practicing the monk methods? Did you really spent your time being a monk? How did the monk practice made you the person you are today.
In this episode, I would like to reveal all that hidden secrets of my life, which was hidden in the grey areas during my interactions.
My childhood has been so tough, my life has fetched for a true friend who could understand me like I understand their pain and emotions.
I searched for a balanced friendship where equality, respect and love exist.
My struggles were many, it is not an easy thing to be a writer, because writers aren’t good friends to anyone.
Since we spend our time alone, thinking about the society, thinking about bringing some change among the people around us, we lose ourselves in the process.
The same had happened with me.
I found no friends, but I made enemies in the process for no reason.
My kindness, genuineness were treated as my weaknesses.
Everyone has abused me from my adolescence to teenage.
Then I have realized that I am some kind of species that is mistakenly entered on to this earth.
