Master continued, "When the situation was such that I had to deal with the enemy through Karthi, Karthi asked me to teach him some mystical secrets. In many ways I tried to avoid it. I wondered if he would back down. But he was determined to accept it only if I told him for the right reason that I would not teach him. What can I refuse to say? Is he the one who killed my guru? What evidence is there for that? What is his role in that? ”
“I am a disciple of the Guru who found something in me that spontaneously wandered around with no qualifications, forced me to gather and told me everything. What is the justification for refusing to ask someone who has all the qualifications, knowledge, no stigma in character to come and teach automatically? Is it the respect I pay for the education I have received and the guru? Will the soul of my Guru forgive me? Before I could think of myself as the leader of this movement, as a human being, I had to think of the wisdom I had learned. ”
“I had no choice but to accept him as a disciple. It seemed to me that it was my duty to retain even our virtue and wisdom in his thought and knowledge, even though he was the enemy. I accepted. My individual human virtue has gone against the virtue of being the leader of this movement. If you think that, I am ready to step down without any hesitation. ”
The master sat down. There was a moment of silence. The mysterious man saw those who were there. There was confusion on the faces. It was disappointing to him that the anger that had been indirectly provoked by him had fallen to such a level of confusion. He was convinced that if someone stood up and uttered the words, "When you are not able to act as the leader of the movement due to your personal virtue, then you should resign," they will surely return to the status quo.
An old woman stood up to speak. She is a retired judge of one of the High Courts. Name Krishnaveni.
“Master. Individual human virtue is the forerunner of all other virtues. That's the decent thing to do, and it should end there. From what you say, it seems that our enemy is powerful enough to carry Karthi for 16000 kilometers in a matter of minutes. You cannot teach any great mystic arts that such a powerful person cannot teach Karthi. That being the case what Karthi brought to you to learn mystic arts may be his natural good karma, or the prayer that human beings like us are doing for the good of the world. So it is good that Karthi came to you and you accepted him as a disciple. When we come to the point where the enemy could use Karthi for evil, the wisdom mixed with the mystic arts that you will teach can give Karthi a mindset that is not in tune with it. So good things have happened. Please give up the idea of stepping down from the leader position ”
As a former High Court judge, Krishnaveni, who was naturally gifted with the ability to look at things from many angles and be able to put them into words correctly, began to show clarity in confused faces as she sat down. Many nodded their approval. The mysterious man thought to himself, 'Where do these people come from'
The master stood up and bowed to that old woman.

For ParthaSarathy it was his dream coming true. Rajathurai was in the intensive care unit of a reputed hospital. ParthaSarathy, Selvarangan and some other ministers sat outside. ParthaSarathy kept a sad face. Selvarangan was really sad. The man, who had been crying all day since yesterday, found solace today only after doctors said he was "out of danger". Now he is telling all those who come to inquire, "Brother will recover"
It was not clear for ParthaSarathy how Manohar achieved this. He did not have full hope that this would happen until the news of a heart attack to Rajathurai reached him yesterday early morning. But after hearing that news the hope came, that he would do other things also. He had come and talked the day before yesterday and was expecting to be contacted later. But he did not communicate. It was well understood that he was not involved in talking too much and that he was the one who spoke in action. He was comforted that we did not have a problem until we antagonized him, even though such a man was dangerous. As he said, RamaKrishna is now negotiating with the MLAs.
Suddenly Selvarangan told him, “Partha, can you talk to Master Swami just in case. I wish if he could come and see our brother one more time and he will get well soon”
ParthaSarathy was shocked when he heard the master’s name. ”Should see that guy?” But he pretended to be on the phone without showing his thoughts and said, "Not getting a proper signal, Selva”
Ten minutes later Selvarangan said again, “Can you dial master’s number now?”
Fortunately Uday came there at that time. He said, "I have the Master Assistant number. Let me speak to him” He went little far from them and called. ParthaSarathy’s heart was pounding.
'If he calls and the man comes, then we have to go somewhere. It will be a nice thing to say going to temple to pray for brother’s speedy recovery’
Uday spoke on the phone and came back.
“Master and Suresh have gone to Haridwar. They will be back after two days”
ParthaSarathy felt as if a great burden had come down from his heart.
Uday looked for his brother as he said "Karthi came with me, where is he now? "
When Karthi arrived, an inexplicable fear began to creep into ParthaSarathy's mind. It was the fear that he had begun to feel in his mind from the moment he heard the news that he was going to learn something from the master. The thought that even the Chief Minister, who was in the big security ring, could have brought to this situation and tried to kill Karthi and he remembered that it had ended in failure. Manohar's phone call came to him at that moment when he lost his peace of mind.
