The tiger outside the cage

[Slurrealist]

Once upon a time, a monk with the name Avidya lived in a country with the name Pala.
He was one of the most fervent students at the Nalanda  university, and already at the age twenty three he had reached the third step to arhathood. However, Avidya couldn't attain the state that is both a state and not a state. The body stopped him. He had mastered total control over the six senses; nothing could move or disturb him if he was in deep samadhi. But the problem laid in the out of samadhi state. During the periods of relaxation between meditation sessions, everything disturbed him, aroused him, drove him angry, as if had never had any spiritual awakening, not even a small and weak one.
Avidya complained his problem to a thera munk, who advised the young man to find teacher Maithuna, a great sage, known all around the Ganges valley for his purity of being.
So, Avidya went after Maithuna, and it is impossible to convey in words his state of dismay when he saw the venerable arhat emerging from bushes with three naked and aroused females. Avidya couldn't believe this was the sage everybody called the "Diamond of Purity."
At the sight of the naked arhat, Avidya, with anger and disappointment burning in his soul, turned around and went back to the nearby village where he had rested yesterday.
Maithuna just laughed at the young man's behaviour.
"The tiger outside the cage is still a tiger," he shouted at the shocked monk.
Avidya spent the whole night pondering on Maithuna's words, and when the monk saw a boy and girl walking down to the lake during the early hours of the morning, a state which several centuries later
will be named as satori hit him.
