SHORT NOTE: Myticism found in the story
The Sage of Tarungiri and Seven Old Seekers is a story about a mysterious sage and seven selfish men who seek his blessings to overcome the worries and anxieties of their life. The old bearded Sage, Tukan Baba weeps all the while and lives in his lonely cave. He comes out of this cave only in full moon nights. His Disciple, Meghananda has the mytic faith that whoever touches the feet of this spiritually enlightened sage in that blessed moonlit night and seeks his blessings is rewarded splendidly and all his desires are fulfilled. The seven old men are convinced that there are more things in heaven and earth that are dreamt of in their philosophy. So, they make all fictitious preparations to collect blessings from Tukan Baba. But when Baba comes out smiling instead of weeping, a rare occasion in a gap of twenty years, they miss the chance for their material attitude and foolishness.
In the meanwhile, Baba has gone back to the cave. These Seekers in their dismay have forgotten to touch his feet. So they enterat Meghananda, his trusted disciple that Baba should appear to them once again. In spite of Meghananda's refusal that Baba would never come back again, these old egoistic materialists tried to enter the cave forcibly. Just then a ferocious roar shock the hill and what shone like a pair of tars inside the dark tunnel seemed to grow closer to them. Out of extreme fear they bounced back and rolled down the hill.
There is a spiritual world beyond the reach of ordinary mortal and none can enter into it unless he has purified his heart and developed his soul. The seven old Seekers are gross egoistic materialists and are ignorant of the ways of the sages. Baba's weeping or smiling is too mysterious a thing for them to understand. So they fall and they have to wait for another twenty years during which there can be a lot of change in then to avail spiritual bliss.
In this story mystery, mysticism and occultism are shuffled up in a nice manner.
Tukan Baba proved himself as a pure mystic who created miracles for the seven old friends in "The Sage of Tarungiri and Seven Old Seekers".
