All these years, they are without an issue.
They consulted a spate of expert doctors and tried all suggested means and remedies. The husband gave every freedom to the wife in this matter. Fie to this fierce longing !
No effort was spared but none succeeded. Utter disappointment and blank despair stared them.
The fragrance of their envisaged happiness is shattered and its light is blown out. A lighted match falls in the midst of their world of mirth.
Fifth Episode : Brief but brimming with moral.
There is a stately mansion worth rupees two lacs. It is for sale. A customer offers two lacs. The deal is completed and the owner of the building puts the cheque of two lacs in the safe.
At nightfall, the building is on fire. Within eight hours the whole building is burnt to ashes.
The original owner laughs, the new buyer weeps bitter tears on seeing the entire earnings of two lacs of his life thus lost.
Friends, keep all these five episodes before your eyes and say how they happened and what active force is operating behind them.
Is this due to the distortion of intellect or misdirected effort ? is not some imperceptible force working behind them ?
How did a boy splitting logs of wood, happen to become Hitler of Germany ? How did he come to acquire the fiery strength to shake the big powers like Britain and America ?
How was it that a boy fired with the ambition to turn out a famous painter become Emperor Napolean ?
Who rolled to dust and frustrated the dreams, designs and adventures of these two mighty men of the world? Who smashed to smithereens their prowess and might?
How was it that Omkarnath Thakur, the uncrowned king in the world of song, was reduced to a beggarly condition ?
