SECOND DAY
1908 Words
Things started becoming familiar from the second day itself. Each day we used to have two classes. On the first day, we attended the classes for weapons and mantra. The second day again started with surprise. We were not aware of which two classes we are about to have today. That’s the beauty of this place. Each day is a surprise and has lots to learn.
The initial routine was the same as the first day. After the initial roll call, nared came and instructed us further about the day.
Nared- “Today you all are going to have two important classes. The place for the first class is NOWHERE.”
Students- “NOWHERE???”
Nared- “yes, nowhere. You don't have to go anywhere to attend this class.”
Students- “that means we don't have class today?”
Nared- “haha… everyone close your eyes. Feel the wind around you. Feel the sound of the water. Focus on your inner self. You will soon hear a voice. ”
“HOW ARE YOU SHUKRA” I heard a voice. I promptly opened up my eyes. “KEEP YOUR EYES CLOSED SHUKRA.” I again heard the same sound. I followed the instruction and closed my eyes again. As I closed my eyes, I started looking at the splash of colours instead of dark. From the middle of the splash, a person arrived. He had maturity on his face and a glow on his forehead. He came in front of me like I am dreaming of someone and he said: “You haven't answered me yet, Shukra.” “Yes, I am Shukra....” I replied him.
Acharya- “you still look confused, Shukra. ”
Shukra- “I am confused about you acharya, I don’t know your name. What will I call you? Just acharya or something else?”
Acharya- “you can call me Manah acharya. Manah means the mind. As I am the Acharya (teacher) of Mind. everyone calls me MANAH ACHARYA”
Shukra- “I am glad to learn from you Manah acharya.”
Manah Acharya- “so, shall we start our today’s class?”
Shukra- “I want to ask a doubt before we start off with today's class.”
Manah Acharya- “Yes, please ask your doubt.”
Shukra- “why are you teaching only me? As you are teaching me inside my mind, how will other students learn from your class?”
Manah Acharya- “That’s an innocent question Shukra. I am teaching every student at the same time. Every student is talking with me and I am answering everyone individually, differently and at the same time.”
Shukra- “that is quite interesting. I am ready for the class.”

Emma- “I guess you are using the same technique to talk with me? ”
Shukracharya- “yes, we are talking with the help of telepathy.”

Manah Acharya- “To control others mind, we need to learn about controlling our own mind. This is one of the toughest things to do. It is human nature to be controlled by our mind but a sage needs to know how to control your mind. Once it is achieved, you will stop feeling pain, suddenness, pleasures, hunger etc. everything will be the same for you because you will become the driver of your mind. We will start this with light meditation. Eventually, we need to increase the time of meditation to control your body completely. You may start it with 10 minutes and increase it exponentially. a day will come when you will be able to meditate for the whole day.”
Shukra- “what are all the things that we can do with the help of our mind ?”
Manah Acharya- “you can do anything that you can think of.”
It was an extraordinary learning experience with Manah Acharya. After this, we all moved to our next class. Nared instructed us to come near a big banyan tree. Similar to one, under which I am sitting at present.

Emma- “We don’t have such big trees on earth right now.”
Shukracharya- “Evolution has always changed everything. Same is the case with this tree. ”

Beneath the banyan tree, our next teacher was sitting. With legs crossed, floating approximately one meter above the ground. When we reached near, he called each of us by our names. He started telling everything about us. Every minute details that no one knows except us. In Fact, he was also aware of our parents and their parents. He was an omniscient. He told the exact numbers of stars in the sky, Exact number of hairs on our head, the limitation of the universe, how the world was formed. He knew everything. No question exists for which he doesn't have an answer. We were shocked by the depth of his knowledge.

Abebe- “I can feel that. I was also shocked when you told me about my mother and me.”
Shukracharya- “that is all because of GYAN ACHARYA (Teacher of knowledge). I learned this all from him.”

We asked everything that we wanted to know. He answered everything smilingly. Finally, the second day came to an end. We enjoyed it but the excitement was still high, as on the third day we were about to explore two new teachers. We kept on thinking, what would be their qualities? How exciting and fascinating they would be?
