After returning from the palace without food, Agnisharma renewed another month's fast. Of course, this time he had some anger, sense of being insulted and a disappointment. But after the apology of Gunsen, the divine currents of contentment and peace were again flowing in his mind. Now to remain without food was again easy and natural to him. The old proverb that 'the hungry man has no shame or fear' was proved wrong by Agnisharma. Even after months of fasts, he had complate self-control.
The another month was over. Gunsen was waiting for the monk. He was sitting facing the main gate. He did this, because he wanted to be sure that no mistake is done this time. The Gate-keeper as well as the servants were clearly instructed to inform him if any ascetic comes. Gunsen had got prepared even special type of dinner for Agnisharma.
What is destined to happen, always
