Sacred Vision (Contd. from Part I)

Part--II

JK started attending his routine office work. His company has employed people all over the world to collect data on teenage pregnancies, marriage status, economic status, living standards, and who is the breadwinner in the family. The data includes 'who are the other persons you live with and the number of them in the house', 'area of the house', 'where did you go to school, government or private, how many years of study', 'whether have you been pregnant, and if so at what age, is it before or after marriage', and 'whether you followed family planning'.

All this data will be sorted out country-wise and supplied to the respective governments for improvement in their citizens' living standards. The data is also provided to various medical hospitals to gain an understanding of the local and national health issues that arise and to improve treatment methods. Pharmaceutical companies use the data to produce new drugs that meet the latest developments.

JK's regional office collects data from African countries. The collected data from individuals from various countries was sorted out in this office and kept confidential, unknown to people working in the organisation, with the regional head (RH) of the office maintaining a secret code. It has a primary password that must be entered by the RH and a secondary password that JK must enter. They do not know each other's passwords. It was going on well.

*

One day, as they entered the confidential section, they noticed that their data storage system had been hacked, and their data had been leaked to another opposing organisation. Their country's head was worried about it and asked the RH to take action to retrieve it before the opposing company uses it, and identify the culprit. The RH informed JK about the incident and sought his assistance in resolving the problem. JK was also worried as he had the second passkey. They didn't reveal their passkeys to anyone. They did not inform anyone of the theft of data in the office. Everyone was working normally. JK started observing everyone.

He prayed to Lord Shiva and sought to utilise his exceptional power of visualising others' minds. He found that everyone in the office was normal.

They reviewed the footage from CCTV cameras for the past week. When the sweeper was cleaning the floor of the confidential section, a lady engineer came inside, opened the laptop display screen, and attached a small sticker to the bottom of the display screen frame. At that time, there was no electricity in the room. The sweeper didn't observe what the lady did. That evening, when the office was about to close, she came and took away that sticker. This time, the electricity to the room was also cut off. 

JK found in the CCTV footage that the lady was approaching the confidential room, and after that, there was no record of the CCTV footage as it was dark and there was no electricity.

JK suspected the person and asked her, "Why did you come here?"

She said, "She had to discuss an important matter with RH as his room was nearby."

Then RH came out of the room and took her into his chambers for discussion.

JK suspected the lady. JK closely watched her in the office, and she appeared to be working normally without any indication of her theft.

JK went to her seat and sat down to talk to her. She was slightly taken aback, but looked at him as if she didn't care for his doings. JK prayed to Lord Shiva and looked at her kutastha. The divine rays entered her kutastha, and she was terrified. JK obtained the information that she was the culprit. She kept a scanner in the form of a sticker to record the passkeys, which she sent to the hackers outside. Through AI, they hacked the entire system's data and supplied it to the opposing party.

JK went to RH chambers. It was closed from the inside, and the curtains were put up. The lady was inside the chambers. She was sitting on his thigh and hugging and whispering to RH. JK could understand their closeness. After some time, she came out, and there was no fear on her face, and she was laughing. She went and sat in her seat.

JK entered RH's room, and as he looked at RH's kutastha, he noticed that the lady and RH were both in relationships, although they were married to others. JK believed that theft had been committed with RH's knowledge.

JK told RH that he doubted the lady. 

RH didn't believe and told JK, “She had been working in the office for the last ten years and that there were no complaints against her from anybody. You are simply complaining about her without any proof.”

RH said, "I have informed the country head office, and they are investigating the matter. Let us not bother about the theft." 

JK was surprised at RH's response. 

Then JK said, "I  want to relinquish the responsibility of holding the second passkey from today onwards and he gave a letter to that effect, and RH immediately accepted it and gave a letter to that effect.

*

JK was wondering why he had those powers to see into others' minds. He wanted to be an ordinary man like everyone else. These powers are putting him in trouble. He prayed to Lord Shiva in vain to remove these powers.

The following day, JK went to a shopping mall. He wanted to purchase some groceries that his mother required. He was searching for a 1 kg packet of tamarind, and there he met his graduation classmate, Sampangi. She was also searching for tamarind packets.

She said, "How are you, JK? It has been a very long time since we left the college. I am trying to find your details, but could not. I have recently been transferred to this place."

*

 JK helped Sampangi in her studies. Sampangi is fair-complexioned, well-structured, and of medium build. She wears a printed kurta-pyjama with her bobbed cut hair. They never moved together. Sampangi developed a love for JK without her knowledge because of his behaviour. JK was all respectful of girls, kept a distance from them, and helped them whenever necessary. He was a hard worker, intelligent and a class topper. He was a university ranker in the final year. Sampangi passed in first class.

*

 She said to JK, "We will go to the restaurant upstairs and talk." Although JK was in a hurry, he followed her, having met after several years. They sat at a table, and she ordered two Nescafe. She gave her details working for a Software Company. While sipping coffee, JK looked at her, his eyes on her kutastha. He was surprised at her love for him since her second year of graduation. And she had been trying to find his whereabouts for the last two years.

He asked, "How about your marriage?"

"I am unmarried, and my parents are in search of a groom like you. And by the way, how about you?"

"I am not yet married. My parents are seeking a bride. Currently, they have postponed the search for a girl. And I am concentrating on my job.”  

She said, "You people don't understand the people in front of you and go on searching for others."

Suddenly, JK said, "If that is so, tell me why you like me? What is my speciality? I am an ordinary person like others in society."

She said, "But why do you think I love you?"

My dear Sampangi, "I could see from my Sacred Vision that you are loving from the bottom of your heart."

Then he explained how he had those powers and how those powers helped him reject the earlier two girls.

She said, "My dear JK, you don't know your good  character and behaviour, but I know you."

Having understood her feelings, he took a rose flower from the table vessel, went before her, knelt and offered the flower and said, "I LOVE YOU. Please accept my love and marry me.

She took the rose flower, put her hands on his shoulders, lifted him and said, "I am in deep love with you, Dear JK. Please arrange our marriage by talking with my parents and your parents."

They both stood up side by side, put their hands on each other's waists and walked out of the restaurant. People in the restaurant were gazing and clapping for their togetherness. He took her to his house and introduced her to his mother. His mother understood and told her, "We will meet your parents and arrange for your marriage early."

*

The next day, JK, along with his parents, went to Sampangi's house when she was there and requested that her parents give their daughter in marriage to their son, JK.

They had earlier known JK as a classmate of Sampangi.  When they looked at Sampangi, they found a new Sampangi with her head down and shy. They understood their daughter's feelings for JK. Earlier, she never wanted to see any bridegroom. They immediately agreed to the marriage, called a pundit and fixed the marriage date. 

The marriage was lavishly celebrated, and they took a separate apartment in the city, set up a family, and lived happily thereafter.

*

JK took Sampangi to the forest temple, showed her the powerful Lord Shiva, and placed his kutastha on the Lord Shiva. All his powers of seeing into others' minds had vanished. He was thankful to the Lord for making him an ordinary person.

Sampangi thanked Lord Shiva for making JK realise her love for him.
