Chapter 123

The sages who perform tough penance in solitude are often those who do not like the interference of others. It can sometimes take a very long time for art and meditation to return to that old state of meditation. So those ascetics also severely curse those who unnecessarily disturb them. It seemed at first that even if there was a chance that sage inside the cave would do something like that, he can ask one of them could go inside and take a look. But if something happens to him, others will come in and see. It is not possible to say how their actions will turn out. If they destroy or dissolve something that is very important inside, his purpose of visit will not be fulfilled. The Master's Guru has tried to convey this place very secretly to his beloved disciple in the sense that something very good or powerful is available here. Thinking of all this, Viswam finally decided to enter on his own, building a power shield around himself by the waves of power, gesturing for them to stay outside, and cautiously entered.

The cold of the Himalayas was not inside the cave. Although the light outside was standing at the entrance, another dim light was visible inside. It must be the light of the ascetic strength of that ascetic. The ascetic is no longer seated. He was in bed. He wore only a scarf around his waist. Another surprise awaited Viswam when he looked so close. That sage was not Indian as Viswam expected. Neither Tibetan nor Chinese. He looked like a European. The beard and hair were a mixture of gray and white. The energy wave emanating from that asceticism was very strong but he was very weak in health. He seemed like a man approaching death.

His eyes stared at Viswam. In that stare Viswam did not see any anger or shock, he understood that he was not expecting only a particular person and that he had come out of his state of penance. Relieved, he knelt on the floor and greeted him. Saw if he was saying something. No. He looked at his eyes to see if there was anything in the news. None of that. He raised his left hand slowly. It held the woolen cloth that Viswam had tied around his waist. Viswam felt as if his power was being absorbed from the Manipura Chakra of his abdomen.

He quickly untied the blanket and moved on. The sage had the woolen cloth in his hand. Viswam tried to pull it out of that hand. It felt like his forces were being pulled fast through that woolen cloth. He immediately withdrew his hands from the woolen cloth. He did not understand if this guy is doing it on purpose or if everything just happens automatically. He concentrated his powers and tried to get to know him. He could not. His eyes darted away from him and fixed on something that was behind him. A flash of lightning appeared in his eyes and disappeared. He was dead.

It was the rock wall of the cave when Viswam turned slowly to find out what was in the place where he had fixed his sight. Upon closer inspection, it was seen that the face of Lord Shiva was carved on the wall. Viswam was amazed when it appeared to be that image was worshipped by that sage. Lord Shiva is generally worshiped everywhere in the form of a lingam. Worship of the face of Shiva is extremely rare. There are even some ice lingams in the Himalayas. But it is amazing to have a face like this. Viswam explored the face of that Shiva. Nice sculpture. It is not known whether it was carved by sage himself or by a sculptor. Both eyes were half closed and the forehead eye was half open.

The forehead eye once lit up and faded as he watched. The surprise of Viswam increased. He went to the peak of surprise when he looked very closely. The reason was that a thin triangle was visible around the forehead eye of Shiva. An eye within a triangle. Symbol of the Illuminati. Slowly Viswam touched the forehead eye of that Shiva. His hands felt a flow of energy. At the same time the triangle swayed slightly. Viswam shook the triangle even better. It was known that the triangle was attached to the statue. With a little force he tried to remove from there. Although it did not come right away, after two minutes of trying, the triangle came off and fell into his hands. Viswam felt a great surge of power in it. Viswam felt a joy he had never experienced before in his life.

When he thought about it, Viswam understood everything seemed to have already been decided. The map for the master was first available to him. He was able to get here first. He saw it only because the vision of the sage had fallen on the rock wall sculpture before he died. The forehead of the sculpture glowed as if to make him understand its significance.

That’s why he noticed it so sharply. That’s why that triangle was known. He touched it just because it looks like a symbol of the Illuminati. He took it out because it was shaky. Everything seemed to be happening because he wanted to become the leader of the Illuminati.

If he takes this symbol and shows it to those Illuminati members and spoke in the way he should, they will surely realize that he is the chosen one. He has time on his side. He will increase his radiance by the power of meditation. He has all the credentials to be the leader of the Illuminati. He was definitely the leader of that movement. He will write the destiny of the world. Excitement flooded into him.

He looked around to see if anything else in the cave was different. Nothing. As he was getting ready to leave, he noticed that the blanket was in the monk's hands. He tried again to take it away from that sage. It did not come. He applied a little force. Still did not come. The sage who had been in severe penance for so long, finally got his wool. He came out of the cave thinking of it as a reward for giving him the logo.

Only one thing worried Viswam's mind when he came out. That black bird.! The black bird on that map was not visible in the sky. Going back downhill he asked if any of the men had seen any black bird in those areas. Four out of five said ‘no’. Someone said he had only seen the mountain once. He did not remember when it was. He did not even remember any incident that connected him with that bird.

Is it the black bird from the map or something else?
