When I reached there, I saw Nandini being carried away by the rakshasas.
Adi was crying terribly. Almost crawled into a ball like a fetus.
"Adi..." I rushed towards her but Akshay stopped me by holding my arm.
"Don't. Let her cry." He told me.
"Are you mad? My sister is crying and you want me to just stand and watch?" I asked him, slightly angry.
"Attachments are heavy weights on a person. You make yourself accustomed to them. So, when Hari cuts them off, it causes pain. Like when a tight chain over you on removal has a bit of a burning feeling. Your skin burns. Similarly, the cut down of the weight of attachments causes pain and burning. Though the removal of chains causes burning, it is also necessary to remove them. Similarly, even though the attachments being cut off causes pain, they need to go away." He explained.
"If she doesn't cry, it will pile up and become harder for her to move on. A healthy mental state requires one to cry away the emotional pain. Then only it will allow her to heal." Akshay added. "Her attachment to Nandini died. Crying will remove all the remnants of it. So, when she finishes crying, she will start the healing process."
"The death of attachments isn't very different from a person dying. When she has finished crying, she will slowly learn the indifference to the existence or nonexistence of Nandini in her life. It is exactly how she will grow ahead in her life. She will move closer to Sri Hari with that. When you lose someone, naturally you cry at first. Then you feel numb due to the pain. Then you come to acknowledge the loss. You will feel sadness but soon you learn to keep moving. The same is in the case of attachments. You feel as if you are struggling terribly at first then you'll slowly learn how to go on without them."
Omkara and Akshay both watched Adi. While they felt sad to see her in pain and suffering, they were happy that she would be able to give up on something that weighed her down.
Akshay walked towards Adi and wrapped his jacket around her. When she passed out crying, he picked her up.
"He didn't seem very fond of her but now he is acting like he actually cared for her," I asked Omkara. He chuckled.
"The Prince of Swarga has his own fluctuations. He always cared about her. He was just angry that she attacked his father. So, he reacted angrily at anyone who seemed to support her. That's why he fought with me as well. You can be angry at someone and still care for them deeply." He answered.
"It is hard to believe that he cares."
"He actually spoke to Devraj Indra to at least consider Alaknanda as someone who was kidnapped. He strongly argued that in the end, she was a victim of Nandini's manipulation. Who do you think spoke to Adi Sesha about Alaknanda? Do you really think that Ananta Sesha has the courage to rally against his own Lord just like that? Or rally against Devraj Indra?"
