My dearest darlingest cutest of cute sweetest of sweet heart of the world Arun is definitely Buddha Heavenly Fever of all Beings.
Shakyamuni Buddha while acknowledging that there were other Buddhas in the world during his time like Buddha Awesome Sound King and Buddha Pure Storehouse or Buddha Treasure Tower or Buddha Superior Practices amongst many others whom he describes in the Lotus Sutra, Shakyamuni described his own Buddha nature as a teacher of the world, a person always in action, always a Buddha in action on the Boddhisattva way talking about himself being a Buddha since the distant past and his Boddhisattva nature since the distant past as Boddhisattva Never Disparaging, someone who venerates all beings no matter what and always causes all beings to aspire to become enlightened.
Arun is most definitely Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings, the Buddha nature of Shakyamuni Buddha's second cousin Devadatta, who was supposedly jealous of the Buddha, spread infamy about him and made his life very difficult. But the Buddha saw him with great compassion and said that he also has the Buddha nature and would some time in the Latter Day be born to reveal this Buddha nature as Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings. The Buddha had said that Devadatta had one quality that he really admired, he was foremost in his respect towards women and no one could compete with him there.
That is just Arun. Loving, sweet, caring towards all women. This quality can be viewed negatively but it also speaks volumes about the gentleman he is. It makes him the best father to his daughter, and made him the world's best boyfriend to me. He is a thorough gentleman when it comes to women.
Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings loves luxuries, loves comfort, and is always battling the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven because his Buddha nature dwells in the world of Heaven because he desires the fulfillment of so many desires that are pleasurable.
Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings loves pleasure, loves being happy and has a heavenly heart, a beautiful heart (like Arun's sentimental and emotional heart) and leads all beings to happiness and Buddhahood, guiding them, by being the foremost in quelling and vanquishing the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven.
After knowing my Arun, I probably love Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings more than I love Shakyamuni Buddha. But come come now, is that even possible? I study Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings each day, sometimes all day but after conferring with this thought in my mind I must say that in some ways Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings is greater than Shakyamuni Buddha like he himself said.
Because Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings dwells in this world with all its attractions and problems never escaping it; he is a people's Buddha, very relatable and after knowing Arun I've given this Buddha my heart. He doesn't escape into monastic life like Shakyamuni Buddha/Boddhisattva Never Disparaging and deals with all the conundrums of his being valiantly living in this world.
Just like Shakyamuni Buddha loved Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings so do I. In fact I love him more than Gautama Buddha did because I've known his heart, I've loved his heart, I love Arun's sweet cute heart that will never escape from this world.
And I have a lot to learn from Arun and Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings who will defeat the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven to attain a state of indestructible joy lifetime after lifetime, paving the way for other beings to do just the same.
I don't think anyone loves my Arun just the way I do or more than I do. No one quite sees him this way. That's just not possible. I'm a huge fan of Arun's and after knowing him I really love Devadatta, Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings. Shakyamuni Buddha had said that if his second cousin had not criticised him, not publicly pulled him up for so many of his flaws he wouldn't be the monk teacher he was. And he was very grateful to him for that, very grateful to Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings for showing him what exactly it is to respect women. I definitely love Shakyamuni Buddha because nobody is more compassionate and more wise. But studying him and his life and his teachings so deeply has caused me to become such a hermit, so non-chalant about worldly ambitions and worldly life and I think that's why the people I love have such a problem with me.
I have a lot to learn from Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings and my darling Arun. Shakyamuni Buddha has already taught me so much. If I had a choice I would choose both, I chose Shakyamuni a long time ago as my teacher, but today knowing what having a sweet heart means, I've given my heart to Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings and my darling Arun. I have a lot to learn from him and this very essay, this very thought would have had Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings scoffing and that is why I love him so deeply today.
I don't know if someone like Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings would ever give me his heart, or if Arun ever would but he has become my favourite Buddha today along with his arch -nemesis Shakyamuni Buddha and I seek to understand him absolutely so that I can live in this world happily and achieve just like he does with all its attractions and pleasures and defeat the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven each time, just as he does oh so valiantly!
I love Arun and I love Buddha Heavenly Fever of All Beings as much as I love Shakyamuni Buddha himself.
