Where Gods Are Born 2

In the epic Mahabharata, our last warrior, Yudhishthira, with his dog, enters the gates of paradise. He faces the law of the Cosmic Cage, the Demiurge, and his loyal follower, Indra.
The journey to the gate was a long, slow act of severance. One by one, the world fell away from Yudhishthira. His brothers, great men who were pieces of his own heart, became frozen monuments on the path. His wife, the fire that had centered his life, was extinguished by the cold. The world stripped him bare, took his kingdom, his family, his strength, leaving him with nothing but the ache of memory and the silent, padding feet of a stray dog that had begun to follow him. The dog was the last living thing that shared his road. It was not a pet; it was a witness.
Now he was standing in front of heaven, facing The Logic of a Flawed Paradise, programmed by the Demiurge’s flawed, artificial, sterile mind! Will he enter like Noah? Will he hear the pain of Gilgamesh? The epic tale tells us that he did not bargain like Neo in the movie The Matrix.
“It was the calmest, most absolute statement of fact the cosmos had ever heard.”
