Chapter 196 - The Seven Profound Knowledge

Hearing the voice of her retainer the empress woke up leisurely and embraced Aryan tightly with her arm. Though he spent the entire night with the empress, he was still getting embarrassed when her soft mountains were touching his hands.

The empress didn't stop at that and kissed Aryan once on his cheeks. 

"Ahem, I think we should open the door now. It's already late, and the empress hasn't shown up yet."

"Ahh honey, don't worry. They know I am the empress, I can do what I want. And about opening the door, here."

She waved her hand and opened the door of the room with her magic. Before them was Nagarin with a towel in her hand as usual for the empress.

Seeing the two of them getting intimately sticking to each other, Nagarin turned around in an instant and closed the door of the room with her magic.

"Huh," the empress waved her hand again and opened the door again. Nagarin heard the sound of opening and asked her majesty to close the door.

But the empress refused and asked her to come inside. Though Nagarin didn't want to enter on the empress's strict orders, she went inside and deliver the towel to the empress.

"Hehehehe, lil girl you are still single aren't you?" asked the empress. Since Nagarin was getting nervous and feeling embarrassed, she took the chance and used it to pull her leg.

"Well, I have a hubby for me now. You better find someone or you will stay a virgin for the rest of your life."

Nagarin was unable to say anything for some time and expelled out a "yes" after some efforts.

The empress was in a nightgown, a short skimpy nightgown. That's nothing new for her, as her number one retainer she had seen the empress in different varieties of gowns. But the male beside her, with a fair-skinned body and bulging out muscles. 

She would have killed that man if it were someone else. She always wanted to be the number one closet to her empress. But after the day before events and knowing that person's identity and hearing to her empress decree, she no longer had the power nor the ranking to touch him.

The empress was cuddling Aryan and rubbing her body into his. Seeing this, Nagarin was feeling embarrassed and left the room as soon as possible.

"Pftt, whahahaha whahahah," laughed Aryan. Some minutes ago when she saw the flushed red cheeks of Nagarin, he played along and made her feel more embarrassed.

He held the empress from her waist and kissed her on the forehead. The empress too took it a step ahead and began to kiss Aryan on his lips.

"You made that girl cry," commented Aryan.

"Hein, you are telling me as if I am the only one who made her cry."

Both of them began to stare at each other with their eyebrows knitted and began to laugh all of a sudden.

Empress revealed that she knew since the beginning that Nagarin had some possessive complexity over her. And whenever someone tries to get closer to her, Nagarin shoos them away.

Aryan understood what she wanted to say, and why she played that act before Nagarin.

She wanted to make Nagarin understand that she can't be hers forever. And she had already found out the one with whom she wanted to spend her life.

After talking about Nagarin and how she used to be in the past, both of them took a shower and got ready for their next mission.

The Sage Palace, Empress Chamber.

On top of the crown was sitting a man with a pink overcoat, and on top of him was a sitting a beauty. No veil on her face, just her usual dress.

All the knights and the other assistants of the empress were shocked by this view. The empress really got herself a husband and that too overnight.

She stood up in a majestic way and asked the others to leave the room except for the knights of the Yang emperor.

"Okay, straight to the point. I need to unlock my hubby's power within a month. And I need all of your help in that."

Seeing the empress was serious, no one asked the reason and Grand Elder directly asked how can they help her in that.

Empress nodded and asked everyone to pass on their profound attribute's meaning to Sen.

Without any delay, Grand Elder came forward and asked Sen to come nearer. 

"Lil Sen get ready," added Grand Elder and gently patted his head with his both hands.

Inside of Aryan's mind thousands of scriptures got transferred. After he is done Aryan sat on the ground and opened the most important script out of them, which defines the meaning of Yin Yang Harmony.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The yin yang, an ancient symbol of harmony and balance, challenges the conventional association of light with good and darkness with evil.

The complexities of human behavior and experiences by placing them in one of two categories — part or whole, negative or positive, competitive or collaborative — yin yang emphasizes the necessity of each to create balance. Following this mindset, light and darkness lose their original associations and become part of the deeper dynamics at play in an individual's journey.

In Daoism, yin is associated with darkness, depth, weakness, submission, intuition and femininity. On the yang side, there is lightness, warmth, summer, aggression, rational thought and masculinity.

The Daoistic use of those metaphors is very different. Darkness is not something to be overcome. Darkness is something that's part of the natural rhythms and flows of the universe, and you need dark and light — you don't even know what one is without the other.

In Daoist philosophy, dark and light, yin and yang, arrive in the world after the birth of the Yin and the Yang Emperors. It becomes sensible from an initial quiescence and continues moving until quiescence is reached again.

For instance, dropping a stone in a calm pool of water will simultaneously raise waves and lower troughs between them, and this alternation of high and low points in the water will radiate outward until the movement dissipates, and the pool is calm once more. Yin and yang thus are always opposite and equal qualities. Further, whenever one quality reaches its peak, it will naturally begin to transform into the opposite quality: for example, a grain that reaches its full height in summer (fully yang) will produce seeds and die back in winter (fully yin) in an endless cycle.

It is impossible to talk about yin or yang without some reference to the opposite, since yin and yang are bound together as parts of a mutual whole.

For example, there cannot be the bottom of the foot without the top. A way to illustrate this idea is to postulate the notion of a race with only women or only men; this race would disappear in a single generation. Yet, women and men together create new generations that allow the race they mutually create and mutually come from to survive. The interaction of the two gives birth to things, like manhood.

Yin and yang transform each other like an undertow in the ocean, every advance is complemented by a retreat, and every rise transforms into a fall. Thus, a seed will sprout from the earth and grow upwards towards the sky—an intrinsical yang movement. Then, when it reaches its full potential height, it will fall. Also, the growth of the top seeks light, while roots grow in darkness.

To achieve this balance between the two, the Daoist approach emphasizes aligning oneself with the equilibrium flows of the cosmos and living in harmony with nature because of the belief in a natural order or "the way."

The nature of yin yang is that it is not static. For example, day and night gradually flow into each other and the balance between them changes with the seasons.

In addition to the central idea of balance, the word 'paradox' can also characterize the yin yang symbol.

Is dark really bad and is light really good?

The statement is both true and false. Because it depends on what mindset an individual is working from. Much of a person's worldview is constructed from their past experiences and community interactions.

Paradoxes like yin yang are confusing because [they] force us to think deeper than the presenting concept itself. Those on a journey to achieve balance can measure their progress based on their own internal flow. If you're obstructing the flow in your body, that will manifest itself in certain mental, social and spiritual ways. It will also manifest itself in social environments that get out of balance — dysfunctions in families, wider communities, nations, and so forth.

Inevitable struggles in life can cause imbalance and prevent personal growth.. Yang emperor believes that utilizing the concepts of yin yang can help people realize that, just like the symbol's interlocking spirals, life is a permanently evolving passage, and both light and darkness are needed in balance.
