The Asht Yogis

.

Two teenage seekers, Shankara, and Paras were meditating in a snowy cave of the Himalaya. Both the young seekers were about 15 years old. Shankara was a tall and dark athletic young man with a smiling face. Paras had an average height, fair complexion, and an innocent-looking face. They were wearing cotton kurtas and dhotis.

First Shankara came out of meditation. After a while Paras opened his eyes.

The peace, which was present on their faces during meditation had disappeared.
