and now Ep.3: The Curse of O-Tae
O-Tae said: Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail.
O-Tae said: Why do you all laugh? I’m speaking the truth. Lemme tell you all the story of King Bharata, who had become a deer because he was too affectionate to a deer.
O-Tae: tell the story of King Bharata
Then everyone went to class and went back homes.
A month later.
O-Tae said: O Rimi-rin, fix your mind on the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna, who is the answer to all questions, the solution to all problem, and chant loudly "Narayana" – the only refuge of all living entities.
O lover of choco cornet, lemme tell you the story of Ajāmila, who had been rescued from the hands of the order carriers of Yamarāja – the God of Death, just by loudly calling the name Nārāyaṇa in fear.
O-Tae: tell the story of Ajāmila
Upon following the guidance of the great sage O-Tae, Rimi-rin had been rescued from being died and being reincanated as a choco cornet.
By hearing the story about Ajāmila, Rimi could understand the transcendental religious principles, which concern the relationship between the living being and the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Furthermore, Rimi heard glorification of the name, fame, qualities and pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, she thus became a perfectly pure devotee. She could then remember her past sinful activities, which she greatly regretted having performed.
Rimi said: Alas, being a servant of my tongue, how degraded I became! It is now clear that as a consequence of addicting to choco cornet, a sinful person like me must be eaten by choco cornets, which are now all reincanated as choco cornet eaters.
Was this a dream I saw, or was it reality? I saw fearsome choco cornets coming to swallow me. Where have they gone?
And where have the great sage O-Tae, who told me many transcendental stories, instructed me to chant the holy name Narayana to save me from being dragged down to the hellish region, gone?
I am such a sinful person, but since I have now gotten this opportunity, I must completely control my mind, life and senses and always engage in devotional service so that I may not fall again into the deep darkness and ignorance of material life.
Since then, Rimi-rin had became a devotee of Sri Krishna – the only refuge of all living entities. OwO

and now Ep.2: Kasumi-chan and a "Star"
When Kasumi was a child, her younger sister [Asuka] asked her “What is this?”
Asuka asked: O my big sis, what is this “✰”?
Kasumi answered: O my dear baby, this is called a “star”!
Asuka said: Gotcha, sankyu big sis!
A month later, when the sisters both look up at the night sky, Asuka pointed at a sparkling point in the sky and asked her sister.
Asuka asked: O my big sis, what is that?
Kasumi said: Just a minute! Then she quickly run to her mother.
Kasumi asked her mom: O mom, what is the sparkling point in the night sky?
Mrs. Toyama answered: Are you talking about a star?
Kasumi said: Gotcha, sankyu mom. Then she quickly run to her sister.
Kasumi shouted: Baby, that is called a “star”!
Asuka said: Nani? That is a “star” and this ✰ is a “star”? How is that even possible?
Kasumi reluctantly said: uhm, uh well, maybe there’re many kinds of star OwO
She said so, but her younger sister’s question has bothered her for a long time. Maybe, she was obsessed with “star” since then.
Now Asuka is a high school student . One day, when she comes home from school, she runs to Kasumi
Asuka says sarcastically: O my silly Kasumi, all things you said to me about a “star” is not true. “A star is an astronomical object consisting of a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun.” – my professor said. It’s very very big and very very bright. If you did point at the Sun and say it’s a “star”, today the whole class wouldn’t make fun of me…
Kasumi’s confused. And she thinks “How? Why?”
So Kasumi decided searching out what make her confused.
Kasumi asked Kaoru: O my dear Kaoru-senpai, please help me. Does a “star” have many forms? If yes, which form is true and which is not? How can one differentiate if it is a true star or not? So, O my dear Kaoru-san, please tell me what is an absolutely true star?
Saintly Kaoru said: O my dear little kitten, a “star” can have no form, one form and many forms.
When Asuka had no clue of this “✰”, we can call that no clue the no form of the star.
When Asuka fixed her mind on this “✰” within no time, we can call that fixing within no time the one form of the star.
O my dear little kitten, when Asuka listened to her mom at home and when Asuka listened to her professor at school, and so on, we can call that here and there, this time and that time, the many forms of the star.
O my dear little kitten, as a price tag you can stick it to this toy or that toy, and you can take it out also, likewise, things you can perceive can be both true and not true. So what else needs to be differentiated?
O my dear little kitten, let’s offer our obeisances to the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna, the Absolute Star, the Primal Star, the origin of all stars. No one can perceive him, and Krishna is beyond what’s called “true” or “not true”. People who faithfully worship stars also worship Krishna, but they do so by the wrong method. Just remember that every stars are in Krishna, and Krishna is beyond them also, ones can transform their wrong method to the absolutely most correct method.
Every characters in the alphabet is Krishna alone. “S”, ”T”, “A”, ”R” is also another name of Krishna. Krishna permit you can call him by any kinds of name, O best of the Popipa. So let’s worship him with transcendental faith.
Upon being enlightened by great sage Kaoru, Kasumi’s extremely happy, then said:
O great sage Kaoru, all things you said make sense to me. I have wasted a lot of time to differentiate this star and that star, and been more and more confused. Let’s send them all to Krishna and worship him alone. Why didn't I find Krishna till now?
Kasumi said thank you and good bye to Kaoru-senpai, then go back home in full Krishna consciousness.
It is said that Kasumi always worships Krishna in form of a star until now. OwO
