________________
Vasumati to his house and take care of her as a daughter. He wants to repent for his sins in this manner. Unfortunately, his wife sees Vasumati's beauty as a threat to her. As it is, one woman can never bear another woman in her house.
Love is always accompanied by possessiveness...!
Subhat's wife was uncomfortable. The atmosphere in his house started to deteriorate. Out of desperation, he decided to take Vasumati to the market and sell her away.
This was an era when people were sold as slaves.
Vasumati recalls that heart wrenching moment when she was standing in the center of the market and was about to be sold... her eyes are full of shame and misery... she tries to avoid people's eyes watching her... imagine the plight of a woman who is out there to be sold !!!
In the past, there was a time when, in order to meet her, people had to take permission and pass through numerous soldiers but today, so many eyes were staring at her and looking at her beauty with sinful desire in their eyes, there was no one to save her!
The person who had never seen unhappiness was today standing in the center of the market, as a commodity to be sold.
When the seeds of karma are sown, when they are manifested, when and how one has to bear their fruits of karma, no one can predict.
When a person's punya karma is manifested, he will meet many to love and take care of him and when his paap karma is manifested, he may see or face acute problems like Vasumati.
Standing in the center of the market, what is Vasumati thinking? Well, she is thinking that this whole universe is like a sea, where there is low tide at times and high tide at other times... life thus goes on with its ups and downs !!!
Our problems might seem like heavy mountains to us, but remember that this is a mountain of ice. Sooner or later, it will melt. We must not lose hope if we are unsuccessful in solving our problems.
