Infant-Old couple

Once upon a time there was an old man who lived with his wife in the outskirts of a village.
They old couple had little to eat and survive on, but they were contentedly living in there mud dwelling covered with palm leaves.

The old woman had established an absolute harmony with nature she use to gather fruits and grass from the surrounding forests.Every morning the old man would carry an old brass pot to fill water from a small stream in the forest.

Both husband and wife were attuned to the slowness of life, its simplicity, they absorbed the seasonal winds and the essence of flowering shrubs flowing with it, first drops of rain and the sound of downpour on their thatch roof, the slight chill of winter and warmth of setting sun in their yard.

Brahmin would leave in the morning to gather wood, ask for grains from the generous, and return home with barely enough food for them to survive.
Yet the old man and women had no claims to make from the existence.

One day the old man went into the forest to collect fruits and wood.
He heard a woman giggling with childlike mirth. He followed the sound till he reached a waterfall.Next he heard the goddess asking him for a boon, he thought a lot but he had nothing to ask so he thanked her, goddess was pleased and gave him a pot full of water which was actually the divine nectar.

He thanked her and went back to his wife, He narrated the story to his wife ,she thought old man has been hallucinating,they had nothing to eat that day so they drank that water and slept.

Next day they woke up and realized that water satiated them so much that they did not need any food.Next day again goddess gave him another pot of water, they drank and slept.
Now it became a regular event and he gradually stopped visiting the village and asking for food altogether.
With time they noticed that their old bones are gathering strength that they had in their youth and their hair are turning black again.
old woman was pleased to see her wrinkles disappearing miraculously.Soon both of them had a body of a young man and woman, they continued consuming the water of eternal life and soon became teenagers.
old man was happily following the course, but the woman was getting worried who will take care of then if they became infants, who would take care of them.
she expressed her doubts to her husband, he answered in his simplicity that if we go back to our infant hood we will find our mother and father again.
While the old man continued having that water and going backwards everyday, she was growing anxious.She stopped consuming that water.she pretending to drink it in front of him and then drained it later.

Soon old man became a toddler whereas she remained a pubescent young girl.
And one night old man turned into a year old. He asked her to give her some of that special water, she hesitantly did that and he became an infant.She got scared and stopped giving him anymore of the divine water. Old man in his infant body started wailing when hungry.

She had nowhere to go, nothing to feed him. She prayed to the goddess for mercy.
Soon she divine nectar started flowing from her breast and she fed her husband , soon he turned into a ball of light and disappeared into eternity. She experienced the same person as her husband , friend , and her child.

She cried tears of joy and bathed in ecstasy of experiencing the goddess as herself.
SHE BECAME THE MOTHER.
