“Shivana’s Lesson: Choosing Wisdom over Blind Faith”
Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a young boy who rushed to a wise philosopher named Shivana with a troubling message. Today we are going to discuss “Shivana’s Lesson: Choosing Wisdom over Blind Faith”. He explained that his mother had decided to sacrifice his innocent little sister at the temple’s revered idol. Intrigued and concerned, Shivana followed the boy to the temple to understand the situation.

Upon reaching the temple, Shivana was met with a distressing scene. The woman, presumably the boy’s mother, had tied the child’s hands and feet with ropes, holding a knife and reciting something with closed eyes. A crowd had gathered around her, and the temple guardian sat nearby on a large stone, seemingly pleased with the unfolding drama.
Approaching the scene, Shivana observed that despite the woman’s expressions of boundless love for her daughter—hugging and kissing her repeatedly—she was determined to carry out the sacrifice. Shivana, puzzled and concerned, decided to inquire about the woman’s decision.
The woman explained that the deity had guided her to sacrifice her dearest to permanently end the hardships in her life. Shivana, with a gentle smile, questioned the logic behind sacrificing her innocent child. He pointed out that the idol desired the sacrifice of her most cherished possession, not the demise of an innocent child. Shivana warned her that a mistaken sacrifice might anger the idol, bringing calamity upon her life.
After some contemplation, the woman released the child and, holding the knife, ran towards Wisdom the temple’s sanctum. However, by then, Shivana had vanished, never to be seen in the area again.
