For a time, The compassionate One had wandered from one village to the next. His purpose or intent was veiled from those who often viewed him as nothing more than a simple beggar. But for those with eyes to see, they recognized his importance to their community. And on this day, and at this particular moment, those in this village knew a man deeply enfolded in samadhi had appeared. But with time and exposure, this man of considerable insight provoked the village elders' conscience. His words bit into their souls. His example put theirs to shame. But when a dark motive began to stir, and the elders chose to be rid of someone of the light, a girl not quite in her teens intervened. She would prove to be the one that saved the holy man's life. And with that, he finally accepted her as his student but not without reluctance. Their paths, however, would eventually part. But with time and further experience, they would reunite once again when the time was most appropriate and the girl was finally prepared to listen.
