One night, Passana tossed and turned, so upset that she couldn't fall asleep anyway. The wife next to her was breathing steadily, her face was good, and she obviously did not notice the fact that Pasana could not sleep.
Looking at this face, the middle-aged Pasana was even more bored, he felt that he could not stand it anymore, and he could not wait to sit up, to get up and go out to catch his breath. Riding on the moonlight, Pasana came to the cowshed, where he spoke his heart to the cow and asked sincerely, "Do you understand?" ”
Unexpectedly, something magical happened, and the cow seemed to understand Pasana's words, and gently rubbed His head on Passana's hand. Pasana knew that there were so many creatures in the world that he had finally found himself in it, even if it was just a cow.
Subsequently, Passana slept with the cow in her arms, and an amazing plan slowly took shape in her mind. In fact, this was not the first time he had come into close contact with the cow in the cowshed, and his fate with the cow was even more intimate than that of his wife and children, all of which originated from Pasana's childhood.
In Indian society, the caste system is strictly enforced, human beings are strictly divided into superior and inferior people, and it is almost impossible for the lower classes to cross the class to become superior people, and Pasana is the most ordinary peasant household in India, a typical lower class people.
Probably because the lower classes are living too hard, they need a spiritual sustenance to sustain themselves, and for the Pasana family, this spiritual sustenance is Hinduism.
In Hindu mythology, the cow rides One of the three main gods, Lord Shiva, around the world, and seeing the cow is like seeing "Lord Shiva" as it is. Therefore, when a cow is seen in India, people have to make way for it, and even if they see the cow trampling on the crops, everyone cannot stop it. It is even more forbidden to abuse, hurt or even cook.
In ancient times on the mainland, the status of cattle was also very high, the main reason is that cattle are important animals for the continuation of agricultural civilization, and losing cattle is equivalent to losing the tools of survival, but cattle are different in nature for India.
In Hindu doctrine, the cow is the master of India, just as the ancient mainland regarded the dragon as the totem of the state, and India also regarded the cow as a totem. The possession of a cow by Hindus is equivalent to being close to "Lord Shiva," which is the moment when the lower classes are closest to the gods.
At first, Passana's father sold almost everything of value in the family to buy back a cow, which accompanied his only son, Passana, throughout his childhood. For as long as Pasana can remember, his daily task has been to lead the calves out, mow and feed the grass, and dedicate the best childhood of his life to this cow.
With the passage of time, Pasana soon reached the age of marrying and having children, but he did not have the opportunity to choose a spouse freely, after all, in India, the meaning of marriage is not to perfect love, but to pass on the generations.
Passana's father chose a girl from a neighboring village for him, although the other party did not have a particularly stunning appearance, but it was still passable, in the eyes of Passana's father, the most important thing was that the other party was very virtuous.
Faced with such a marriage, Pasana did not resist, after all, this is the only way for every Indian man, if he could, he may also be able to use the freshness to cultivate a good relationship with his new wife.
Unfortunately, after spending a long time with his wife, Pasana did not find a feeling of inner throbbing. The wife is perfect, every day in a regular manner, preparing food and clothing for herself, tidying up the house, but in the face of her, Passana is always unable to remove her disguise and express her inner troubles.
Long after such boring days, the wife bore two children for Pasana, and her family status was even lower. For Pasana, he had completed the task of marrying and having children, he no longer needed to have a good temper with the woman next to him, the two got along more and more strangely, and the atmosphere once fell to a freezing point.
Over time, Pasana could not bear such a repressive day, and he did not want to guard this repulsive woman at home, so on weekdays when there was no work, he would put a leash on the dear cow and pull it out for a walk.
At first, no one could find out about their golden marriage, and Pasana maintained the appearance of the marriage well, and the wife did not show her displeasure.
There is nothing wrong with Pasana's act of morning glory, which is simply understood as he grew up with the cow, had a deep affection, and according to Hindu teachings, It is on the back of the cow that Lord Shiva patrols the world.
However, only Pasana himself knew that his feelings for the cow had changed, and one night, the emotions he had been hiding could not be calmed down and there was nowhere to release, so he thought about it and had to go to the cowshed. Passana told the cow all the doubts and anger in his life, and his emotions calmed down slightly.
Passana gently stroked the cow that had grown up with him, and the cow gave him the reaction he should have at this time. It looked wide-eyed at Passana and responded with movements to what Passana had just said. Pasana knew that although the cow was not a human being, it understood! It understands its inner emotions better than anyone else in the world!
From that day on, Passana went to the cowshed more and more often, and when he was unhappy, Passana would tell the cows about the depressing things, and when he said it, he would regain his strength. When Passana is happy, the cow is the one he wants to share the joy with most.
However, Passana did not hide his attitude towards his wife, in the face of the virtuous wife, he always cursed, as the number of times increased, the wife obviously found that there was something wrong with her husband, in her eyes, the husband's behavior was undoubtedly disgusted with himself. She had tried to communicate well with her husband, and planned to ask her what she had done wrong, which made Passana unhappy.
Pasana, however, never heeded such temptations, and in Passana's eyes, his wife's plea for peace was more of a nuisance, making his already bored mood become hair-triggered. Since this is a problem that cannot be solved at all, it is better to escape to the end, and the best place to escape is the place where the cows that have accompanied them for many years live.
Finally, one day, the wife could no longer bear to live alone in an empty house, and she went to Pasana's parents and told them all the hardships of marriage in recent years. Although Passana's parents were looking at the child, they were really suspicious of the child's abnormal behavior, and they called Passana to him and asked him what was wrong.
For his wife's whistleblowing, Passana put on a look that she had expected, and said to her parents in a serious manner: "I want to divorce her." Everyone present was taken aback, and before they could get back to their senses, Pasana's next sentence was even more shocking to everyone's jaws: "I want to marry the cow!" Only it understands me best! ”
As soon as these words came out, whether it was Passana's parents, wife or other onlookers, their faces were mixed with shock, curiosity, and confusion. In India, the status of women is very low, and once she is suspended, Passana's wife may never have a head start, and it is basically impossible to find a good home.
More importantly, she did not understand why her husband wanted to divorce his wife to marry a cow, and whether she had two children for her husband, not even a cow.
Pasana's parents knew that their son had moved, and they looked at each other and firmly opposed it. Passana said that he seemed to marry a cow, but in fact he was marrying a life partner who knew himself and loved himself.
The cow is not a beast, but a sacred beast of Lord Shiva, and when there are cows around, Pasana's temperament becomes mild, and it can be said that the cow makes Pasana a better self. Even if Pasana abandons his wife and children, and is questioned and spurned by everyone, he will divorce the cow.
The more Passana spoke, the more moved his parents became, knowing that their son had moved his heart and that nothing could change Passana's decision. As the incident spread ten or ten hundred times, almost the whole village knew that Pasana was going to divorce his wife and marry a cow!
The sound of ridicule and admiration spread to Pasana's house, some mocking his stupidity, some admiring his faith in Lord Shiva. In 2017, the wedding of Pasana and the cow began, and I remember that on the wedding day, the cow was washed, the hair was smooth and bright, and its body was covered with colorful blankets and hung with colored ropes.
At the other end of the colorful rope is the groom official Pasana, who is dressed much simpler than today's "bride", only to see him touching the head of the cow affectionately and walking with his head held high step by step.
At this moment, no one was asking why Pasana was marrying a cow, and everyone was immersed in laughter and sincere blessings for the couple. Holding a glass and holding a cow, Pasana toasted the villagers who came to the wedding, and surrounded by everyone, Passana kissed his "wife".
So far, 5 years have passed since the wedding of Passana and the cow, and many people are curious, what happened to this love between man and cow in the beginning? Pasana responded with a smile, saying that his marriage was very happy, and he felt more tranquil than ever when he was with the cow.
During the interview, the cow was also really lying next to Pasana like a virtuous wife, looking very spiritual. In Pasana's eyes, the cow carried Lord Shiva around the world, and marrying the cow himself was a way to get close to God, and that was the best way to prove faith.
I wonder if Pasana ever thought about how this "pious" believer would be viewed if Lord Shiva really sat on the back of a cow and observed the human world, in the face of his actions of abandoning his wife and son and leaving his ex-wife in a state of perdition?
