SHRUTSAGAR
October-2016 'त्रिभिर्वैषस्त्रिभिमसै:स्त्रिभिः पक्षस्त्रिभिर्दिनैः। अत्युग्रपुण्यपापानामिहैव लभ्यते फलम् ॥'
One is capable of reaping the first of intense meritorious deeds in this life itself within three years, three months, three fortnights or three days.
The following incident took place when I was in Rajasthan a few years ago. A shravaka' from Madras came to see his mother in Rajasthan. His native village was at a distance of three Kms. from the Railway Station.
When the train reached the station, it was midnight and it was not safe to travel late in the night because he had brought with himself a lot of precious things in a trunk.
The seth explained his problem to the Station Master and took his permission to sleep in waiting room. He also asked the Station Master to help him to keep his belongings in the clock room.
The Station Master said that there was no room in the small station and said that no one will disturb him because there was no train till the next morning. The traveller unfolded his bedding and kept his small trunk under the pillow and slept peacefully.
Greed and dishonesty now ruled the Station Master's mind when the Seth told him that he had precious things with him, the Station Master wanted to possess them and had an eye on them.
He thought that if he succeeded in getting those precious thing he need not work for the rest of his life and lead a luxurious life.
As the seth was going to his home town to serve his parents, he too could be able to go to his native place and serve his parents. He laid a plot to kill the Seth in order to get hold of the precious trunk and earn a good living for himself and for his family.
