This episode covers the next part of chapter 18 from:
“Ignoring his master’s warning, Afzal began to misuse his powers...”
to
“...there was no sign of the glittering plates or the remnants of the meal.”

Summary:
The daunting task of analysing the character of Afzal and his supernatural abilities and their moral implications can only be done if you have some fun with it – which we did! We admit it was far beyond our intellectual grasp, even when referencing Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings. We tried to explore the consequences of misusing our powers, drawing parallels to real-life situations and popular culture, as well as the potential karmic effects of Afzal’s behaviour.

to
“... Farewell, world! I go to seek the forgiveness of the Cosmic Beloved.”
