Abhilaksha was a very powerful demoness, she lived in slowness of the dark part of the universe, her movements were so slow and imperceptible that it attracted different beings from the entire universe to use her body as their dwelling place.
Because of her huge body that resembled mountains, plateaus, and valleys that humans and other beings lived their for a long time.Her hair were their forests, here eyes were the seas and lakes, her ears and nose worked as passages for them.
She in her slow indulgence tolerated them for many many years and their population grew in huge proportions, such that she was eventually completely infested by these beings.
She felt immense suffocation with these parasitic beings and she was desperate to get rid of all of them blocking her from feeling her slow ecstasy.
She in her restless pain went all out to get rid of these humans and other beings.But they had infested each and every particle of her body, desperate she walked into a ball of fire and burnt her hair, eyes and body to get rid of those infestations which were blocking her life energy.
As her flesh and muscles melted away in the burning flames, she felt partial relief yet she felt the burden of many sticking to her bones,she took her skeletal frame to be turned into ashes, she walked into another inferno, which evaporated her bones and along with it her infesting beings.
However there were many who were closest to her , that would stick to her being, which was no longer a physical body. she cried in pain and begged for mercy.
Those whom she loved dearly infested her soul and refused to let her be free.
She had no instrument or flame or inferno to burn away her soul. Helpless she cried for help.
Finally a being of light took mercy on her, and touched her forehead to make her aware that she is not even the soul.
That lesson was the toughest for her,It could only be learned through inner means.As soon as she became aware that she is a non-being she shed whatever notional being that she believed herself to be, that made her suffer for her attachments till that moment.
She felt mercy for those souls who were left with the notional being but understanding with compassion helped her to know that these beings will in time shall also learn that they too are non-beings like herself.
And hence the bondage of being and non-beings were dropped freeing her to feel the flowing bliss that she was use to.
