for a longer time and therefore I did not dispatch the musicians.”
Hearing this, the Emperor's anger knew no bounds, “You rogue! Is my command more important or your wish to listen to music? Let me disable you so that you can hear no more.” Saying this, the Emperor ordered extremely hot, molten lead to be poured into the guard's ears. Whose soul is this? It is the soul of the future Tirthankara, Lord Mahavir. Karmasatta forgives no one, not even the soul of a future Tirthankara, let alone ‘Ganadharas', 'Devs', 'Indras', Kings or the rich money lending businessmen.
“I imagine Karmasatta must definitely be letting one person off the hook.”
“Who might that be?” "You” “Maharaj Saheb! Why would you imagine so?”
‘Let me explain. Today, in our country, the sons of ministers and top officials commit indiscriminate crimes because they have the assurance that their fathers, being in important positions, will save them from punishment.”
“Correct”.
It is then established that a crime is committed by only those who are not afraid of punishment. Therefore, when I see people angry and committing deceit, fraud, breach of trust disregarding their consequence, I begin to think that may be Karmasatta favours them. This is my imagination.
Ganadhara = the chief disciple of a Tirthankara Dev = demi-god Maharaj Saheb = the reverend preceptor Indra = King of demi-gods
