In a murmur, You Lin started the ritual.
Elsewhere, in the Earth Realm.
Indra was with Shui Chi, the two facing each other and seated on soft cushions, talking in low voices.
He was telling stories to Shui Chi.
"Devotional Yoga, Wisdom Yoga, and Action Yoga. Through these three yogas, you might achieve inner peace and liberation, quelling your anger!"
"Your heart must hold a devout and firm belief and faith. Read wise books, listen to wise words, contemplate inner wisdom, and finally act selflessly and without attachment."
"Shui Chi!"
"Do you have something you are firmly committed to now?"
Indra asked slowly.
Shui Chi, seated in front of Indra, was contemplating his recent actions, some right, some wrong, some he regretted, some he did not.
He slowly closed his eyes, then took a deep breath and exhaled deeply.
Swoosh!!!
Shui Chi slowly opened his eyes.
"Teacher!"
"I think I understand now!"
"I want to protect those I love and those who love me!"
