________________
While he was playing, the seniors returned. They saw ascetic Atimukta playing in Sachit water [raw water infested with living organism] and got furious. One of them scolded him loudly
Eri
Atimukta muni! This act does not
suit you. Stop it at once.
Atimukta Kumar
Jain Education International
SATO
He tried to search within for the cause of the anger of the seniors. He soon became aware of his restrictions and repentedOh! By floating the bowl in raw water I violated the ascetic-discipline. O Bhagavan! How could I commit such a blunder?
The first scolding of his life and Atimukta muni trembled with fear. He at once took his bowl
out from water
and started
thinking
Why am I so terrified? Why there is fear even after coming to the fearless? What wrong have I done to invite such scolding?
Lightning of wisdom sparked in the sky of his mind and rains of self-censure started. Pure water of repentance cleansed his heart.
