Arjun was running frantically having realized the need to get there fast. Looking back he saw the two figures were gaining on him. He tore through the dense foliage with all his might.
A large silhouette loomed a few yards away. It was something he had never seen in life.
Arjun was just a few metres away when suddenly,
’THUD!!’
One of the figures had leapt on his back and pinned him on ground. The two figures started to drag him away.
“NOO… I have to touch it!!!”, Arjun was screaming
At that moment his eyes fell on the coloured line at arm’s length.
“The CIRCLE of PROTECTION… I just need to get inside the CIRCLE’s area to reduce their power and they won’t enter it” he thought
Scrambling, he touched the line. The grip on him loosened. With the last surge of energy, he pushed them and jumped inside the CIRCLE.
Standing up he saw them. Ugly, distorted faces and beast like body. They had hounded him all his life and made it a living hell.
One of them was called ANGER and the other HATE. He could not differentiate between them. It was not essential.
More important was the thing in front of him. The TREE of FORGIVENESS. It was just like Krishna had described. Only the person, who was ready, can locate it. He had.
Arjun woke up with a smile on his face and at peace. The bright sunlight was illuminating his room.
He had attained his ultimate goal and was ready to take charge of life having thrown the two monkeys off his back.. forever.
He had forgiven his arch rival Duryodhan, who had deceived him to get promoted. The anger and hate had affected his life..personally and professionally.
But that was 3 years ago. Now it was time to rise..literally too!!
Just then he heard his wife’s voice
“Honey, get ready fast else you will get late for office”
