Episode 16: Tasks

The main task of man is to serve with kindness and sincerity.

Ohba told me that I should get ready in a moment, we would wander back around the three realms that Uncle Hallah explained. But Ohba asked me to seek calmness from the journey in this place while practicing my skills. Seeking tranquility is indirectly seeking faith. Because it is belief that forms a sense of calm everyone.

Unfortunately, not all beliefs that everyone believes are the same. Differences arise based on the course of his life. Is the difference wrong? No, Uncle Hallaj said that if the differences exist, they exist to strengthen the beliefs we hold. Knowing each other's differences is an infinite gift.

The guards came from different backgrounds to each other. They have different beliefs and experiences from each other that make our point of view also different. However, because the difference forced us to get to know each other. You won't know what he's expecting if you don't know what he wants.

Besides, we can't force our desires to be the same for others. Others have their own tastes and desires as needed. So that's the function of knowing. We can blend in but still have a strong stance. Just like the cup of tea that uncle made, I like the sweet ones while Ohba prefers the non-sugar ones. But the same made. For those who want sugar, please add your own and that there is no prohibition anyway.

So that is the fact of knowing each other from a journey. The more travel we go through, will expand the insight and wisdom of what we see and feel directly. The experience I went through, the uncle said was a meaningful form of spiritual travel. Everyone should do what is passed, not force others to do it but we ourselves are reluctant to do it.

“Elvy, would you like to explore this place before leaving?”

“Of course Ohba, I'd love to take a walk before.”

“Good, because you have a lot to learn to understand your basic abilities before going to other realms. Maybe in a few hours we'll practice.”

“Good, I agree.”

“Master, can you come out for a moment? We will be back before leaving.”

“Bby, be careful.”

“Thank you uncle, let's Ohba we adventure!”

“Then come on!”

Grass and bushes emit light in the dark with a variety of colors, the dominant manun is the color gradation between green and blue that complement each other. The trees were just as dense as in the uncle's yard, even bigger and older saw the sturdy stems growing there. Pine trees and acacia keep each other's beauty of the mountains, as we keep promises between each other.

“Ohba, this place is so beautiful, I would love to stay longer here.”

“You're right, but we have to continue the journey.”

“Why can't we stay here Ohba?”

“That's because our goal is not here, our task is still far away . when our task is completed then we can return here.”

“Back? Can we come here again?”

“Of course, the duty of the guards is to make sure the place we are passing through is safe from something destructive and to lead lost souls back to its origin.”

“Indeed what is the main duty of Ohba man?”

“The main task of man is to serve with kindness and sincerity. Many do things by force. There are also those who only have a duty to not be punished. The creator is not as bad as they thought. Oh yeah, you probably remember what I taught you before Hallaj's house?”

“Of course I still remember!”

“Then try to float as I drift.”

“Well, I'll try Ohba.”

I tried to practice what Ohba did. At first I was still floating and not yet fluent in terms of hovering, but slowly I began to get used to what my companion was doing. He asked me to fly around the mountains in a few rounds. From there the view became clearer and more beautiful. The settlement looks beautiful with residents who are engaged in drying woven fabrics and fish hail catch in the river.

The training is over, it is time that we say goodbye to Uncle Hallaj for all his wejanang and guidance to me. Perhaps after the task I can visit him again in search of the true meaning of peace of the soul. Ohba said the train would be arriving at the station we met. Hope this is a good start.
