The parents again persuaded him but Sudarshan was adamant. Finally they came out with a logical advice
Son ! Our body is the primary means of spiritual accomplishment. If you are killed, this means of spiritual pursuit will be lost. As such, don't go there.
Sudarshan replied
) (??
O Mother! If this body is the primary means of religious
pursuits then it is a golden opportunity for me. If I die while
going to behold Bhagavan it would, indeed, be death on the
religious path. What better fortune could there be than my
dying on such an occasion.
On hearing the logic offered by son, Parents were unable to counter the reply. They realized that besides being brave, their son was also a great devotee of God. He would not deviate from his decision to go. Then they thoughtfully permitted him to go.
Alright son! You may go there. May be this paves a way
and makes it convenient for the people of Rajgrah to
behold the God.
