(Ashram Matsyendranath. Matsyendranath a very high meditation, seated, surrounded by his five disciples)
The first student: Our mentor - a great spiritual teacher. Although he has great spiritual and occult power, he never abused them. He always uses his power to God - only to fulfill God's people in accordance with the Will of God.
The second student: You see, he plunges deep inside! Let's meditate with him.
(For a while all meditate.)
Matsyendranath (in trance): My dear spiritual children, you - my closest disciples. Have you heard the conversation right now?
Third student: No, Master, we have not heard anything. There was no one there, how could we heard something? We all meditated with you in a deep silence.
Matsyendranath: Did you see the lights around my person or aura over my head?
The fourth student, I saw, I saw!
Fifth student: I have seen around your face, teacher, something like shine.
The first student: And the aura around your head. I know that you have a lot of auras, but I must have seen your most beautiful aura.
The second student: What luck - to have such an experience!
Matsyendranath: It's all thanks to the presence of Lord Shiva. Shiva appeared before my mind's eye, to bring me a special message. He told me that my best student, my absolutely best student today would come to me for initiation.
(All students internally shocked and unhappy, but outwardly open smile teacher.)
Matsyendranath: Hypocrisy and spirituality are incompatible. Be sincere. I know all of you are sad because today is going to come to me, my best student, and of course you'll be jealous of him! Now, tell me why you are sad inwardly, though outwardly portray the happiness on their faces? Why are you already jealous of him?
The third student, Master, you know, jealousy is not easy to win. We are trying very hard for many years, but we are still very difficult to beat jealousy.
Matsyendranath: Just try to remember that we are all - on the battlefield. You - my soldiers, I - your Commander. But you're not strong enough to fight alone against our enemies - the lower the forces of darkness. We need someone the really strong, so he came and took our side. Of course, if it will strengthen our power, we will certainly win.
Fourth student: O Master, now we are very happy! The happiness of our hearts affects our happy faces!
Matsyendranath: You're lying to me! Internally you are not happy. You are very jealous. You're jealous of him because you feel that his strength will enable us to win a victory, not yours. We can win only when he appears on the stage, when he will take our side. If he does not come, we can not win. You are jealous because you do not have the inner strength to win, and he has. You lie to me useless because I can easily read your thoughts. If someone wants to challenge my inner vision, let the man get up.
(No one stands up.)
Fifth student: teacher is useless to try to deceive you, but we know that our deception can not compete with your compassion. Your compassion is infinitely stronger than our deception. Therefore, we stay with you.
Matsyendranath: You are jealous parish most devoted disciple, because he is my favorite student. You are jealous because he will be the one who will win for us the victory. But instead of envy, why do not you consider the arrival of his brother, the result of his many years of prayers and meditations with me? You prayed for peace, light, bliss and power in an infinite degree. Why now you do not agree to its appearance in response to your prayers? Do not think of him as a person, having a personality. Think of him as a person, who is peace, light and bliss. This peace, light and bliss comes to you because of your sincere prayers. Your meditation on the divine victory fruit. You pray to God in me and on the implementation of the transformation of its nature. Now God has blessed you with a gift, by sending this incomparable brother, who is my best student. Take it as the fruit of their aspirations, and not as an opponent, which is endowed with much greater ability than you. If you can do it, you do not feed him with envy.
(Included Gorakshanath with the traditional offering of fruit for Master.)
Gorakshanath Teacher, last night I had a vision. In this vision, I was Lord Shiva and said that you - my Guru. So today I come to you. Please initiates me.
The first student: Now I feel with all sincerity, that each of us is inspired by the advice of our teachers.
The third disciple: We really feel this new brother in my own living presence.
Fourth student: We see and feel that his arrival - the result of our own aspirations.
Fifth Disciple: Master, we are sincerely happy, full of joy and pride to see this young man. We see it as their own achievements.
Matsyendranath: My dearest and best student, if ever in my life I experienced the divine pride, then all my divine pride about you. I know who you are. You - me and you - for me. You came to help me take my responsibility, and for that I am eternally grateful to you.
Gorakshanath: You thank me? That I should be grateful to you! You initiate me and give me an abundance of light. From you I get my freedom and awareness.
Matsyendranath: You thank me, because I will give thee understanding, and I thank you because you can take awareness. I've been here for many years, but have not found anyone really receptive to whom I could invite all my osoznie. You are able to take, and I am able to give. This will take you very little time - to understand me. This is a matter of a few months. These few months I will be working very intesivnost inside you, to give you freedom and awareness. After receiving my awareness, you will be able to show me the Almighty. Now, let me bless you and initiate you in the tradition. (Matsyendranath Gorakshanath blesses and gives him a string of beads.)
Matsyendranath: I give you these beads for japa. I consecrated them, and they are only for your use. This is a very special small * (* the rosary). Let me tell you their story.
Scene II
(Forest. Matsyendranath hear voices, then come and present the history of the characters)
Matsyendranath: Once Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati roamed the woods Manapouri. When they wanted to go home, they found the lost. Lord Shiva is very hungry and asked his wife to cook him something to eat.
Shiva: Parvati, make me eat, and in the meantime I will go and look for the way to get out of this forest. I will try to find the road that leads to the city. I'm sure it's here somewhere.
(Lord Shiva leaves. Suddenly it is a vision.) Parvati, now I have had a vision. I saw that as soon as I am gone, evil force will attack you.
Parvati: Please, please, if you see it, then do not leave me here alone!
Shiva: Do not worry. You can stay here in absolute safety. I draw a circle on the ground. Stay inside. Do not go beyond the circle. I leave you my trident. As soon as the asura, you just threw him a trident, and he would be killed. And now I must go.
(Parvati starts to cook food. Appears gigantic asura.)
Parvati: Oh God! What a gigantic asura! What a terrible creature! I'll throw him a weapon of Lord Shiva and smite him in her heart. (She throws strikes and asura. He falls.) Oh, this terrible asura bleeding. Oh, his blood got into the food. Impure blood gigantic asura poisoned food Shiva.
(Shiva appears.)
Shiva: Are you all right, Parvati? What a terrible asura! Giant!
Asura: Shiva, your husband surprised me with your weapon. Since you're both committed to my life, I - very grateful. All my life I have made ungodly deeds. I became the champion of devotion ignorance. Now your divine weapons and your spouse, which is the Divine Mother, took from me this life. Please give me another gift, only one: that I was not able to survive. Do not waste your strength to revive me. Let me die here. But first, please allow me to touch your feet and get your blessing. (He touches the feet of Shiva.)
Shiva: About giant, now you'll be released. On the physical plane you will die, but on the inner plane you'll be immortal thanks to its extremely sincere prayer for release.
Parvati: Lord, the impure blood of the evil power fell into your food and defiled her.
Shiva: I will focus on it and cleanse it of its power of compassion. (He concentrates.) Now that I've won this undivine force of his spiritual power, I did but taste a little food. The world is full of ignorance. When ignorance is converted, it will be a divine miracle. And now I will sacrifice some of this food giant, and his spiritual power will transform leftover food in a clear, low. Whoever used these beads for japa, be sure to get awareness.
Scene III
(The same actors as in Stage I)
Matsyendranath: My child, very soon in this incarnation you are destined to get the awareness, so I give you this rosary. My little children, let me look at you to see, do not envy you again. No, you're not jealous. I see you have a firm belief that it is - the result of your aspirations, which is manifested in the appearance of your new spiritual brother.
Gorakshanath: Teacher, teacher, I see there are five persons similar to my own! Five bodies of five hearts, five souls just as my own! Am I right, Master, or is it just a hallucination?
Matsyendranath: You're absolutely right, my son. This is not your spiritual brothers, as an integral part of your own existence. They have found in you my divine pride, and you find them in your divine duty. That you can help them to realize higher, and they brought you here my very sincere aspiration.

Scene I
(Two townspeople meet in the realm of the king Garabanga.)
First citizen: Unbearable! Unbearable! This king is unbearable.
Second townspeople: Unforgivable, unforgivable! This king is inexcusable.
First citizen: It was crazy!
Second citizen: He's mad!
First citizen: Look at this fool! He wants his kingdom of Heaven surpassed in prosperity, beauty and divinity.
Second citizen: Look at his impudence! You say - nonsense, I say - nonsense plus impudence! How can his kingdom surpass Heaven?
First citizen: Impossible!
Second citizen: Impossible!
First citizen: He has created absolute chaos in the whole kingdom. He says that everyone should be equal, and feels that the only way to do this - to sell on the market all at the same price.
Second citizen: Unthinkable! Unthinkable! How could gold and rice to sell at the same price? One kilogram of gold and one kilogram of rice! Ha ha! What a silly king here. There are things on the ground are extremely rare, and there are things quite ordinary. How can I sell them at the same price? Look at the stupidity of the king! He feels that all this will make his kingdom prosperous and all will become your friends. Ha! Just wait and see what unimaginable events will soon occur.
First citizen: You see, when a person loses his mind, he does everything. King thinks that our life will be happier if the price of everything is the same. He is a fool, this fool. What is much worse - he is adamant in their orders, and we are helpless.
Second citizen: We are helpless - the truth, but I hate him, his statements, his ordinances, all that he does.
First citizen: My friend, you hate him, and I want to say that his very name became a curse for me! He is despised and always will be despised in all his kingdom. I am a goldsmith. From now on I have to sell all of its most expensive jewelry at the price of eggplant, potatoes or tomatoes.
Second citizen: It does not matter one how much you scold him, you can not change it. This is our destiny.
First citizen: Fate? I do not believe in fate. I cancel my destiny. You'll see. The day will come when Garabanga realizes his folly and our kingdom, this beautiful country will again be a real life - a life of love, life harmony. Again, the benefit will deserve nothing but honest. A man of knowledge will have a prestige, an ignorant person would have to work hard for the sake of knowledge, and only then he will deserve the prestige. People will work hard to achieve something, and only those who have achieved, will receive respect. Two different products can not be a value. Human ignorance and a man of knowledge can not be put on the same level. Man sincere and insincere man, a thief and a saint can not be considered equal. Just making all have the same food, but selling all at one price, this stupid Garabanga not be able to balance all of his subjects. Impossible! His mind reached the zenith of stupidity.
Second citizen: And I'm telling you that the lion in me will not eat grass like sheep, such as the ministers of the king. There are no ministers of the king of his own voice. They agreed with the proposals of the king. I am a lion. I'll eat the king and his sheep.
Scene II
(Gorakshanath meditating in his room. Included Matsyendranath.)
Matsyendranath: My son, are you still here? Did you know that the king Garabanga do with his subjects? He said that everything must be sold at the same price. Gold and eggplant will be sold at the same price.
Gorakshanath: I know, Master. I have heard and read a newspaper. I was a bit amused by it. And I'm curious to see what happens.
Matsyendranath: Interestingly, my son? Curiously, even at this point ?! You realize God. Why do you let yourself go into curiosity? I know that your curiosity innocent. You clean your heart - very clean, very shining, my son. But curiosity is still a dangerous thing. Very soon all this kingdom will be destroyed. There will be a disaster, and I'm afraid that with you something happens. I worry about you, not about this kingdom. I can not help these innocent subjects. I can only sympathize with them.
Gorakshanath: Teacher, you know what the king says? He said that his kingdom must surpass Heaven beauty, prosperity and divinity.
Matsyendranath (laughs): You know how he will make his kingdom superior to Heaven! He is an old man. He became decrepit.
Gorakshanath: Forgive me, Master. I want to see the end of this joke. If you let me stay here and see the outcome, I will be so grateful to you.
Matsyendranath: I'll let you stay here, but I'm telling you that your suffering - it is my suffering. If you happen something serious, I'll help you and save you.
Gorakshanath: O Master, then I'm gone. I do not want you to suffer because of me.
Matsyendranath: No, no, stay here, Gorakshanath. I want it to bring you joy. I want to satiate your curiosity innocent. Do not worry about me. Will I be able to protect yourself and to help you.
Gorakshanath: Then, with your permission, Teacher, I will stay.
Matsyendranath: Yes, stay with my permission. Let's see what happens. (Matsyendranath out)
Scene III
(First citizen in his jewelry store. Enter the buyer. The buyer begins to consider the perfect ring.)
Customer: How much is this ring?
First citizen: one hundred rupees.
Buyer: One hundred rupees? Why is that? It can not cost more than a few heads of garlic! Let me go to a nearby shop and find out the price of garlic. (The buyer is out. The first citizen furious and desperate. Buyer returns.)
Buyer: The price of garlic - one anna. Your ring, of course, does not weigh more than a whole head of garlic, but I'll give it to you for one anna. And I will not lodge a complaint with the king at you for what you gave me the price of a hundred rupees. Here is one anna. Bye.
(Buyer enough and starts to leave the ring. The jeweler begins to cry.)
Buyer: If you scream, I'll kill you. You know, it's an order of the king - all sold at the same price.
Jeweler: I know this is the order of the king, but I refuse to sell a gold ring in one anna. It is extremely valuable.
(The buyer gets a jeweler and runs away. Jeweller starts to cry.)
Jeweller: Help! Help! Somebody save Me! Thief! Thief! Arrest that man!
(Immediately from other shops people come running. The policeman grabs the buyer and the results back.)
Jeweller: That's the man. He has hit me.
Scene IV
(Palace of the king. The king sits on the throne. Part of the minister.)
Minister: Your Majesty, a man who hit a jeweler, was yesterday jailed, but today he escaped.
King: How?
Minister: He was strong. He bent the bars of the prison window and somehow escaped.
King: What do we do?
Minister: It depends on you. Please order me. I am at your disposal.
King: Well, if you can not find it, podyschu other strong young man his size and bring him to me.
Minister: Only one?
King: No, bring everyone. Bring all the men of his complexion, and I choose. I hang up the strongest. It is an insult to me, that the prisoner was able to crack the bars and escape. Therefore, the most powerful of them will be given a death.
Scene V
(Gorakshanath meditating in his room. Included Matsyendranath.)
Matsyendranath: My son, now you see what horrible disaster struck. Your curiosity is satisfied? Now you satisfied? I'm sure you've heard that all the strong young men in the kingdom should be brought before the king. The king chooses the strongest and hang him. He feels that man who escaped from his prison, insulted him, and he can not bear this kind of abuse. You are very strong. I do not know what can happen to you. Let's try to escape.
Gorakshanath: Teacher, I'm at your feet. You too strong. They can grasp and you. Although you are quite mature man, you have not yet old. I'm afraid you're in danger, too. Because I made a mistake, then, if the king sentenced me to death, I'm ready. But if something happens to you, Master, I will never forgive myself.
(Composed of four guards and arrested Matsyendranath and Gorakshanath.)
Scene VI
(Royal palace. The king and queen on the throne. They brought strong men, and among them Gorakshanath Matsyendranath. King starts selection. Sentinel pushes people one by one before the king.)
First man: No, Your Majesty, I did not do it. I was not even there.
The second man: I was out of town.
(So the king appear before a lot of men.)
King: Now all stand in the line. Instead of coming up to me, I'll go down the line. Allow to determine who is the strongest.
(King goes down the line. He chooses Matsyendranath and Gorakshanath.)
King: One of you will undoubtedly be hanged today, but it will take probably a few minutes to decide who really is stronger.
Matsyendranath: O King, look at my health, try me physically. I state that if you want to execute the strongest of the two of us, then surely it should be me. Look at me. Look at my hands, look at my chest, look at my legs, look at my face, look at any part of my body. I'm a lot stronger than the man.
Gorakshanath: Do not believe him, Your Majesty! Look at me, look at my body. I clearly stronger than the man, and besides, I'm younger. You need a young man and I have a young blood. He is old. This is clearly evident. Why is that? He was my teacher. Perhaps he chemto stronger than me - in the knowledge, or wisdom, but if you want a physical force, I am the one who need it.
King: Yes, I want someone who is stronger physically, but not mentally or something else.
Gorakshanath: Therefore, O king, I was to be executed.
Matsyendranath: King, believe me, I'm stronger than this young man. If you really need a strong man, it is, I should be hanged. You're such a great and compassionate king. I have never seen such a compassionate king on earth. You want to do everything in his kingdom equal to surpass the heavens in all respects. I want to say that because I'm older than he is, I will not be useful to you for so long. Let this young man to stay here, in your kingdom to serve you. He's much younger than I am and will be able to serve you for many years. Let me go to Heaven.
Gorakshanath: King, compassion - this one, and another justice. This man shows his compassion. I was his student. We - like father and son. When there is danger, the father wants to take a risk to himself and allow his son to remain unscathed. But there is something called a promise. King, you are the most honest. Now, what do you say? You said that the most powerful man in your kingdom must be hanged. Your Majesty, how do you become great? You have become great, restraining their promises. You should continue to fulfill its promises, so what I should be put to death.
King: I really can not understand. I've never seen two people just dying to meet me. Here are all shed bitter tears because he can die. If I choose them, they will be the most miserable on earth. And here I see two people who are fighting for the opportunity to die. Nothing like I've never seen. What's going on with you two? I want to know why you are willing to die. Is there a special reason?
Matsyendranath (pretending that varies): Well, there is a special reason. Do you think we are kind, sweet and generous. But, O king, we are not so good, we are not so nice, we are not so generous, our hearts are not as big. Both of us are very clever.
King: too clever? What you plot?
Matsyendranath: There is no conspiracy. Just what we both know a little astrology. I'm an astrologer, and I taught him how to write horoscopes. That's why he told you that I was his teacher. We are also a little meditate. This morning we had a vision, and we heard an inner voice. But the king, perhaps you do not believe in the vision.
King: The vision? Of course, I believe in the vision. I believe in God. God created the heavens so beautiful! I have a prayer to God that the kingdom could surpass my heaven. Now tell me, what kind of vision you had? What do you say voice?
Matsyendranath: We both had a vision at the same time, we heard a voice saying that whoever died today at four o'clock in the afternoon, he would go to the highest heaven. That's why we fight for the death. Otherwise, do not you think that we are so stupid?
Gorakshanath: So the king Garabanga now the secret is disclosed. That, to that end, I want to die. I want to climb to the highest heavens. It's not because I'm so in love with his teacher. I want to die, to ascend to the highest heavens.
Matsyendranath: Just me. It's not my tenderness and love for my student forced me to fight for the opportunity to die. I knew immediately that I can climb to the highest heavens, if kakimto way to die at four o'clock in the afternoon.
King: You think I'm stupid. All the time I cry to Heaven, to the supreme joy. Here, I feel pleasure, but I am not satisfied. I want something more. I know that the heavens are full of joy and delight. Do not you think I'm so stupid as to let one of you go to Heaven, and he will stay here, in this corrupt and imperfect earth? In my kingdom all constantly quarrel and fight. That's why I wanted my kingdom was like heaven, even surpassed the heavens. I'm so grateful that you - two astrologer - told me the secret. (Refers to the minister.) Done. I invite all my subjects and the entire royal family. This is my order. I'm going to hang himself. I want to immediately go to Heaven. This world is corrupted. I did not see him any hope. I wanted to bring happiness to his kingdom, but I see that this will never happen. Only when I myself will chemto have, I can offer it to others. Now I suffer, but in heaven, I will be very happy. And from there I can send down happiness in my kingdom.
(Minister of leaves.)
Matsyendranath: Your Majesty, I want to say that your happiness - our happiness. If you feel that ascended to heaven right now, you'll be a happy man, then go. We'll lose, you lose the kingdom, but we want to be happy your happiness.
Gorakshanath: You yourself wanted to have the kingdom of heaven on earth. Now you enter the kingdom of heaven. And going back to you, I am sure, will be able to bring the Kingdom of Heaven in this world. Your happiness - our happiness. We wanted to go to Heaven at four o'clock in the afternoon, but we prefer to make you happy.
(The queen begins to cry.)
King (Queen): I thought you loved me. Now, when I'll be happy, why are you crying?
Queen: I want you to be happy, but how can I live here alone, without you?
King: Do not worry. Since I will be in heaven, I bear you there, that you joined me. It's only a matter of time. Perhaps I can take you there tomorrow. When I'm at the highest heaven, I will have everything, and from there I can send a messenger to pick you up.
(The Queen smiles.)
Scene VII
(All subjects and all the royal family gathered at the palace. Suddenly the clock punch-four hours.)
Crowd: The king is dead!
(Wild cheering and fun.)
Scene VIII
(Gorakshanath and Matsyendranath Gorakshanath in the room.)
Gorakshanath: O Master, I was with you, but tell me, please, why have you done this? Have we done the right thing? Oh, I know everything, no matter what you did right, but please tell me our actions. I want to learn from you more.
Matsyendranath: My son, do you regret what happened?
Gorakshanath: I feel sorry ...
Matsyendranath: Why? Why are you sorry? You should be wise. This king of the silly laws ruined the whole kingdom. As everyone can be in the same price? How can all have the same status? Is it possible? Some people God has given more opportunities than others. God has made some things more valuable than others. Two fingers on the hand can not be the same. They are all different. If one prays and meditates, and the other does not, the first, of course, aware of God more. You pray, you meditate and realized God. Equality does not come without an equal effort. King Garabanga thought that if you just do the prices for all the same, all people will be equal. But this is impossible. Everything has a value. You can not put next to the lion and the sheep to feed them the same food and expect from them that they are the same. Sheep will be sheep, and the lion remains a lion. Spiritual people are spiritual, and ordinary people - ordinary. The Kingdom of God great, and everyone has his place. Man can not communicate with those who have a different standard, and expect that they will become equal. From now on, this kingdom will again be a normal life. The new king will take place Garabangi - perhaps it will be his own son - and you will see that this kingdom, like other kingdoms, will prosper. In the realm of reasonableness will, peace, divine glory, everyone will have a proper value according to his ability, and in accordance with the merits. My son, you and I have served God.
Gorakshanath: Master, I understand your philosophy. I am always at your feet and in your power. To please you, to be your unconditional - this is the only purpose of my life.
(Gorakshanath sings.)
Taba sri charan mama aradhan
Taba darashan mama harashan
Taba parashan mama naba man
Taba alodhan mama niketan
My highest adoration - your feet,
Himself Your opinion - my delight,
Your very touch - my new mind,
Your Light Infinite Treasures -
My real home.

Scene I
(Ashram Matsyendranath. Gorakshanath meditating. Included wandering yogi.)
Yogi: What an ugly, non-divine, intolerable place! I've never been in the ashram, which would be so undivine. What a crappy teacher must have you!
Gorakshanath: Do not you dare talk about my teacher in such a tone! I possess tremendous occult power.
Yogi: Show me your occult power!
Gorakshanath (grabs a knife): Here's the knife. If you hit me in any part of the body, you can not hurt me. That is my strength.
(Yogi tries to hit Gorakshanath.)
Yogi: Good. When I put the blows, they do not cause you any harm, but the ball always produce sound. But if you're going to hit me with the same knife, you are not only hurting me, but you can not even produce any sound.
(Gorakshanath several times trying to hit Yoga.)
Gorakshanath: You're right! No sound! How so?
Yogi: If somebody identifies with the Infinite, the impact does not produce any sound. This proves that I am superior to you in occult power. (Yogi comes out.)
Gorakshanath (by himself): Oh Teacher, where are you now? I must tell you about it. Now I concentrate on you and see where you are and what you're doing.
(Gorakshanathh sits down and begins to focus.)
Scene II
(Matsyendranath sitting in luxurious splendor, surrounded by beautiful girls. Some girls are dancing.)
Gorakshanath: How so ?! After all, my teacher - the highest rank. Perhaps my vision is wrong. I'll try to focus again. (Gorakshanath again concentrated.)
Gorakshanath: My teacher has fallen! It is surrounded by many beautiful girls, all singing and dancing! He enjoys all kinds of vital life. I have to save him! I suffered myself to the place occult.
(Gorakshanath close to the group, but it stops the gatekeeper.)
Gorakshanath: I want to talk to this man. He - my Guru, Matsyendranath of Kaula. I have to meet him.
Gatekeeper: Matsyendranath? Your Guru? This is the famous Matsyendranath of Kaula? He fell. Who he was and what he was now? He fell to the point that I could not believe my ears when you tell me that it Matsyendranath.
Gorakshanath: I have to save it immediately!
Gatekeeper: If you can take him out of this place, I consider that you are very lucky. It Madzhapuri - City of Delusion. When someone comes here, it is extremely difficult to leave this place.
(Gorakshanath Matsyendranath tries to approach, but the dancing girls do not start it.)
Gorakshanath: Perhaps I should take advantage of its occult power and turn into a beautiful girl, otherwise I will not be able to come to his Master.
(Gorakshanath goes out and comes back as a beautiful girl. Matsyendranath not know it.)
Gorakshanath: Master, what are you doing here? What kind of life you lead? You - realized soul. What are you doing here enjoying vital life?
Matsyendranath: Oh! I fell, I fell. I fell to the point! Save me now!
Gorakshanath: His occult power, I'll take you out of here.
Scene III
(Ashram Matsyendranath. Matsyendranath sitting in meditation, surrounded by his disciples. Included Gorakshanath Matsyendranath with another, which is sent to the meditator Matsyendranath and penetrates into it.)
Gorakshanath (in amazement appealing to students), Master was absent for several weeks?
Students: No. In recent weeks, the Master was here, and we were all with him.
Gorakshanath: How so? Teacher, please explain this experience that I had. I can not understand the mystery of what really happened.
Matsyendranath: I had to do it all for you, for your perfection. You possess all kinds of occult power, but your pride was too great, too. This I sent to Yoga, to shatter your pride, to prove to you that you are not the greatest occultist in the world. Many possess much greater occult power than you. Also in his spiritual life, you were very harsh and tough. You looked down on women. I have repeatedly told you that, in spite of women's down, you can not convert and make his life perfect, but you are not interested in the liberation of women from ignorance. You - my best student. I gave you all kinds of occult powers, but the Yogi beat you just because of your pride. Now, when you're humble, now that your pride is broken, I want you to say something. While you're my student and although you lost to yoga, you will soon surpass us both - him and me. Because today you have conquered your pride and saw the true divine way, and because of the fact that you became a woman to come to me, do not you learn to avoid and not to despise women. Now, your great potential can come to the fore. You will certainly surpass us. There is no longer anything which I could teach you. Everything I had, I gave you.

Scene I
(Ashram Matsyendranath. Enter Matsyendranath and Gorakshanath.)
Matsyendranath: My son, you're my equal in spirituality. You have in infinite measure have inner peace, light and bliss. I want to now you've left my Ashram and founded his own.
Gorakshanath (crying): Teacher, teacher, this can not be. I'll never leave you, I will never leave you. You are my life.
Matsyendranath Son, two lions can not live in a den. Now, we should not be together. Now you need to wander somewhere else. You have the ability to maintain the soul of the world just as I lead them. You should use this feature. You will not be able to flourish here.
Gorakshanath Teacher who need it - to flourish? I do not. Absolutely! I came into the world to serve you, but do not catch up with you. It was your mistake - let me catch up with you.
Matsyendranath: Was it my fault or is your enormous ability to let you catch up with me - not the question. You caught up with me, and now it is the Will of God - that you may serve Him, inspiring and guiding other souls. The world desperately needs a Teacher of your height. Now go, my son. This is my soulful call and order. If you really love me, then you obey my orders. After six years, you'll be able to come back and see me.
Gorakshanath: Teacher, I listened to you, though my heart weeps and bleeds. Please bless me again before I go.
(Matsyendranath Gorakshanath blessing.)
Gorakshanath: Although I will not see you outside, please do not forget me. I come back in six years.
(Gorakshanath out).
Scene II
(Ashram Matsyendranath six years later. A few students sit in meditation. Beginning Gorakshanath.)
Gorakshanath: Where is my master? Where Matsyendranath? I want to see him.
First Student: We can not tell where the teacher.
Gorakshanath: Please tell me. I have not seen him for six years. I was his closest disciple.
The second student: You were his closest disciple? Then how come you were not with him for six years? When a student leaves his Master for such a long time, he loses his position and all its authority. You are no longer the closest disciple of the Master, even if he had them once, which I doubt.
Third student: Just you try to put on airs, but if you really are the closest disciple of the Master, then you yourself would be able to hear his orders. He told us to say that no one is allowed to know where he is.
Gorakshanath: What? No one will tell me where my teacher when I was waiting for six years to see it, and come from one end of India to the other?
The first student: The order is an order. The teacher said that no one knew where he was.
Gorakshanath (angrily): I curse you if you do not immediately tell me where my Master! Twelve years in your country does not rain. This means - no crops, no food, no drinking water. All of you will die of hunger, if you stay here. Only under the condition that you return my Master, the curse will be lifted before the age of twelve.
Scene III
(Ashram Matsyendranath two and a half years later. The scene is the same as before, but all dried up and burnt. Gorakshanath sitting in meditation. Enter two emaciated peasant.)
The first farmer: Oh great Yogi, not snimesh Do you curse from our land? We are starving, our children are starving, everything around us has become a barren desert - where before there was beauty and wealth.
Second farmer: Why because of the mistakes of his guru or his disciples do you punish the whole country? Is this true? Is that correct? Take your curse of the great Yogi, and deliver us from this terrible punishment.
(Gorakshanath silent. Farmers leave dejected. You can hear the sound of the pipes, the noise is coming. You receive the king and his entourage.)
King (touching the ground at the feet of Gorakshanath) Gorakshanath, remove the curse from our unfortunate country. What have we done to deserve such a fate? You're killing us, to destroy us, and we can not resist you because of your tremendous occult power. Gorakshanath, have mercy. All my subjects, or die, or leave the country, and my coffers drained only on purchases of food and water. (King pauses. Gorakshanath does not respond.) Gorakshanath! (pause) Gorakshanath, you rascal, you destroyed my kingdom. I wish I could kill you in return!
(King goes retinue. Gorakshanath continually meditating. Included Matsyendranath.)
Matsyendranath: My son, I am so happy to see you again!
Gorakshanath (stretches at the feet Matsyendranath): Forgive me, Master. I am ashamed of what I did with these people, with the whole country.
Matsyendranath: You did not do anything wrong. All these people were corrupt. They deserved this punishment. This will help them lead a better life.
Gorakshanath: But I did not know it. I did not do it in order to help them. I was angry and just wanted to punish them. My action was bad because it was bad motives.
Matsyendranath: My son, you are wrong. Your soul knew that they deserved punishment, otherwise it would not let you get angry for no reason. What you have done is right.

Matsyendranath
Scene I
(The palace. The king, queen and princess together.)
King: the great spiritual teachers Gorakshanath - she love and compassion. Everyone feels gratitude, admiration and adoration towards him. Not only his own students, but even students of other teachers are experiencing tremendous devotion to him. Even people who never cared about the spiritual life, admire him! You know, I, too, was his greatest admirer.
Queen: If you were the king of the ordinary, you could be extremely envious Gorakshanatha and perhaps drove him from his kingdom. But you're not jealous of his name and fame and his immense influence. For a long time I also admire him, but we ourselves go to the spiritual man? Perhaps it is my pride, but, above all, because we - the king and queen.
King: Yes, and at the same time, I feel that it is wrong to send such a great spiritual man messenger with a request to come to me. Such a quandary bother me for a long time, but now I realized that because we crave peace, light and bliss, we should go by this teacher. And though this world, I have wealth and power, though my people respect me, admire me and flatter me, I have no peace of mind. I was always worried about my enemies who might attack my kingdom. And no matter how much I accumulated material wealth, I do not feel any satisfaction from it. I have inner joy and inner peace. My favorite queen, I think we should go to Gorakshanatha. He will answer.
Queen: If you think so, dear king, then I'll go with you. Daughter, dear daughter, would you like to come with us?
Princess: No, Mom. I think that this Gorakshanath must be crazy. I do not want to go crazy. You can go, I do not want to go with you.
Queen: No, he's not crazy, he was so great. He has many, many spiritual disciples, and he is extremely kind and nice. He realized God and can lead others to God.
Princess: I do not believe in God. I do not need God. If you and your father believe in God and realize God, for me this is more than enough. You share with me everything that you have. Now you provide me with material wealth, love, all what I want. You give me everything I need. If you will find spiritual wealth, I know you well enough to be kind and share it with me, as well as share with me their wealth to others. If you get something, I know you will give me what I want and what I need.
Queen: Well, dear child. We do not force you to come with us. You can stay here.
King: Let's go, let's get ready to go right now. She will think and decide.
Princess: Wait! Still, I'll go with you.
King: Why did you suddenly changed her mind, my daughter? Well, whatever the reason, you really make us happy.
(All exit.)
Scene II
(Ashram Gorakshanath. Get the king, queen, princess and bow low Gorakshanatha.)
Princess (to himself): My parents bow deeply and with great devotion relate feet Master, but I do it with great fear. I am sure that teacher read my mind and know what I said in the palace. Now I'll be exposed and possibly humiliated teacher.
(Gorakshanath smiling princess with compassion.)
King, Master, I came here to initiate. Please accept me as a disciple. Although I am the king of this country, I know that the real king - you. King of the many worlds, who have peace, light and bliss in an infinite extent, and I am constantly a victim of anxiety and excitement, not to mention the temptation and other undivine forces.
Gorakshanath: I'm sorry, but now I can not initiate you, O king. I also can not initiate your queen. Both of you are not quite ready to take spiritual life with all my heart. You can consider yourself very spiritual and very dedicated, but I clearly see that your hour has not yet struck. However, you can be happy and proud that the time had come for your daughter. I initiate it today, and a few years later she realizes God.
King: We can not believe my ears!
Queen Master, when we were going to come, she said that you're crazy and that she does not believe in God. She just wanted to share our spiritual wealth, if we get anything, just as it is now shared with our material wealth. That's what her mind, that's what her spiritual development, and you say that she is very spiritual, it will be a very loyal and the only one who can be initiated. Teacher, please explain it to us. We do not understand.
Gorakshanath Your present life is not the first nor the last. What did you do in your previous incarnations? Do you want to be a queen, and you, O king, wanted to be king. But this girl in his latest incarnation wanted to realize God. God still hears all your prayers. Both of you have become king and queen. And God in this incarnation takes the prayers of your daughter an awareness of God through me.
Queen Master, if it is to realize God in this incarnation, why a few hours ago, she did not even want to go here? She said that she does not need God. And we never saw it as anything spiritual. She's sweet, she is obedient, but nothing special. She had never prayed. She was sixteen years old, but she never, never prayed, never. She never even went to the temple. It is clear that she is not interested in God. So how can we believe you when you say it with all my heart is ready to take spiritual life?
Gorakshanath: You can not imagine the world of ignorance. The ignorance of the world is such that can overshadow everything. No matter how spiritual you are, how committed, how divine, ignorance of the world can close all. Your daughter yet sixteen. What did you see in it so long - just a cover. I know who she is inside. For each there is a chosen hour - Hour of God, and I know that your daughter hour of God struck. I just take cover, and you will see what it will become in a few years. She has prepared herself to God-realization in a previous incarnation, but God-realization is not reached. In this incarnation, she is sure to realize God, because God has decided. Every time we take a human incarnation, in most cases ignorance comes from the very beginning and covers our inner wisdom and inner light, earned in previous incarnations. But the spiritual teacher helps those aspirations that are making efforts to become a teacher, and destined to be their successors. Here on earth, I also lived for many years in ignorance, but when the time came, I was initiated by my Master and realized God, because for me, the hour of God. My teacher thought I was his most loyal and close student, and I consider my most devoted of his closest and most beloved disciple of your daughter. Since he worked for his Master I, to realize God is now for me to work your daughter. And that you'll get from her initiation of the queen. I initiate the both of you in a few months, but I will not dwell on the earth to give you understanding. Your awareness will take place in a later incarnation, and in that incarnation was your daughter will give you initiation. Of course, at that time you will know it not as his daughter, but as their spiritual mother.
Queen: What did you say, deeply affected me. If you say that this happens, we believe you.
Gorakshanath: Believe it or not, it is a reality.
Queen: Until now, we thought that she was just a girl, are not interested in God. Now it will become God-realized soul.
Gorakshanath: She said that I - crazy. So, give the crazy princess awareness and understanding will give a simple girl queen.
King: I did not say a word against my daughter, I am all - tenderness towards her. Now, what will be my fate? Who set me free? Your Guru has freed you, Master, you are exempt my daughter, and my daughter will free my wife. Who set me free?
Gorakshanath: Whoever you release soon bless you. Let us meditate for a few minutes.
(At that time, all meditate behind Gorakshanath Matsyendranath appears in the divine radiance and blesses it.)
Matsyendranath: I am here to bless his pupil. I - love itself to him. I - self admiration for him. I - the very adoration towards him. He surpassed me.
Gorakshanath (bless the princess): I bless you with all my love, with all my respect and with all his divine pride. Dear child, you will be my best student. You definitely realize me.
Princess (bless the queen): I'm so happy, so proud and so excited that one day I could be your daughter on the physical plane. Now, I - his daughter, but one day I will be the spiritual mother. And then I set you free.
(Matsyendranath gives a sign to the queen thanked the king.)
Queen: My dear husband, I think I the one who set you free. Now I bless you with all my love and joy. I'm really happy, not human pride, but divine joy that was elected as an instrument of God to set you free. You did everything to make me happy on the earth plane. Once I'll do anything to make you happy in the spiritual plane. One day I set you free from all suffering, so I'm really happy.
Matsyendranath: Only students with a permanent, unconditional love, devotion and surrender to the Almighty in his Master, can be released. Each of us is proud that we have such students, and all of you should be proud of the fact that once we were, or will be once these students. My dear son, I am eternally and unconditionally proud of you.
Gorakshanath Master, it is you, and only you make me all that than I am. Your kindness and compassion lifted me to higher and, therefore, my eternal gratitude at your divine feet.
