## Second Objective
[37. The Sadhu said, "Hey, careless one! What are you doing sleeping here? Tell the truth, who woke you up and where did they put you?" 2. Seeing another Sadhu sitting on his seat, a Sadhu said, "Hey! Who is sitting here? Get up from here, do you think this is your own seat?" 3. A sleeping Sadhu was woken up by another Sadhu for some reason, and he said, "Who is this wicked one who has disturbed my rest?" 4. A sick Sadhu said to another Sadhu, "How many times have I told you - you are not bringing me medicine." He said to the sick Sadhu, "Why are you crying out? Can't you be patient?" 5. A Ganapramukh asked some Sadhus to bring a rare object, many searched but their search was unsuccessful, only one's search was successful. One of the unsuccessful searchers asked, "Who got the rare object?" The one who got it said, "I got it. What did you get, your destiny is to wander, so keep wandering."
Using such language causes pain to others, therefore harsh speech is subtle violence. It leads to transgression in the first great vow. Even though it is harsh, it is not harsh. Keshi Kumar Shraman had said some harsh words to King Pradesh, and Rajimati had said some harsh words to Rahnemi, but those harsh words were not harsh. Because the harsh language they spoke was spoken for the benefit of those souls, therefore, in that situation, the harsh words spoken without any attachment are not worthy of atonement.
Similarly, the harsh words spoken by the Guru to teach the disciple are also not worthy of atonement.
The atonement for harsh words spoken out of anger, pride, jealousy or hatred is mentioned in the Sutra.
There is no atonement for harsh words spoken with affection and a pure heart. Atonement for transgression of the second great vow
