A Tale by Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala, a Nepali politician who was born in 1914 and died in 1982.
Literal Comprehension: Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala wrote the ancient tale "A Tale," which Shreedhar Lohani later modified and translated. Years ago, a guy entered the bush and began his penance in order to get divine wisdom. He overcame his flesh and mind and attained an eternal state of meditative bliss.
The monarch of the gods, Indra, feared that the sage's penance might allow him to usurp his position. He then dispatched a lovely nymph to undermine the sage's penance. The nymph's seductive pose in the river forced the sage to reluctantly open his eyes. Following that, they were both married and lived at home. They provided aid to the village's poor residents. The villagers, however, were wary of him and constantly attributed his demise to the woman, although the sage maintained his inner tranquility throughout his married life.
Interpretation: The Hindu idea that one can become godlike and attain supreme knowledge is called into question by this tale. Domestic life does not have to be completely abandoned in order to be happy. Even in household settings, people can feel happy. The sage and nymph love their lives despite the negativity of their neighbors. Therefore, a home and social existence are superior to a lonely one. When we live in society and carry out our social and home duties, we experience greater happiness and pleasure.
Critical Thinking: I don't agree with the author after reading this article because:
Does God truly exist?
Are gods envious of people?
How on earth could a nymph from heaven exist in the real world?
Assimilation: After reading this story, I was reminded of the infamous Aghori Baba, who abandoned his home when he was unable to accomplish anything. He married a woman one and a half years ago, and their marriage was a success. As a result, it demonstrates the importance of a healthy marital life.
