She wanted to distract the husband who was in meditation. On one side was the intense, radiant sun of renunciation, on the other, the darkness of sin. The darkness tried to engulf the light of renunciation, but it was completely unsuccessful. It could not shake the Maha Shatak. But a small mistake made the Maha Shatak fall from grace. Due to Revati's evil intentions, anger arose in his mind. He had clairvoyance. Using his clairvoyance, he predicted that Revati would die within seven days, with severe illness, pain, and suffering. It is not desirable to explicitly state the fear of death. The speaker must be particularly thoughtful and hesitant to speak what is true but causes fear and terror in the minds of others. Therefore, Lord Mahavira sent his chief disciple, Gautam, to warn the Maha Shatak. The Maha Shatak regained his composure.
The hero of the sixth study, Kundakaulik, is depicted as a knowledgeable devotee. A god is rendered speechless by destiny in a conversation with Kundakaulik. Lord Mahavira presents the wise Kundakaulik as an example to the monks and nuns. Kundakaulik's life is an inspiring example for devotees to advance in the field of knowledge.
**The Inclination Towards Reality**
The heroes of the ten studies of the devotee stage had very comfortable worldly lives. They had abundant and sufficient access to all material comforts. If this were the only attainable life, there would be nothing left for them to do. Why would they reduce their acquired pleasures to the point of complete annihilation? But they were wise. They knew the impermanence of material pleasures. Therefore, the true attainable of life, which, without attaining it, everything else attained is nothing more than irony, there is an unspoken yearning in man to attain it, which awakens instantly in all of them as soon as they receive the presence of Lord Mahavira. When the awakened yearning moved forward on the path of implementation, it continued to grow, and a time came in the lives of those seekers when they seemed to have completely forgotten bodily pleasures. They lost themselves so much in renunciation, in the learning of the self, that they did not even care about their own bodies, which were becoming increasingly thin and weak. This was the pleasant culmination of the renunciation of enjoyment. It is generally very difficult to find such a state in life. A human being raised in an environment of comfort and convenience panics at the mere thought of giving them up. But that is the talk of weak-minded men. The sage of the Upanishads said, "Nayamatma balahinen labhyah," which is very poignant. A weak-minded person, one without inner strength, cannot attain the soul. But a strong-minded, internally powerful man can easily do all that makes the weak tremble.
**Freedom from Social Responsibility: Leisure**
A man spends his entire life engaged in fulfilling his family, social, and worldly responsibilities.
