Tripushtha Vasudeva poured hot lead in the ears of a shayyapalak servant.
surroundings became bright! But in that moonlight, the dogs awoke & started barking? Does the moon stop the shower of light by the barking of dogs? As dogs see widespread moonlight, they get encourage to bark more & more. Let them go on, but the stars in the sky will not fall down! Stars will continue glittering & dogs will continue barking! Stars never complain to dogs that, “If you want to bark then do so but why do you bark staring at us. Stars glitter & the dogs bark. Jealous tendency flows in the blood of dogs.
If others are jealous, should we? No! but we should remain just like the glittering stars. Suppose someone owns three bungalows or four cars and we don't have any then should we feel jealous? No... never. If one is eating a sweet dish made up of almonds & we have to try hard for a stomach-full meal then should we feel jealous? No. definitely not... Remember, if you are victimized by jealousy then confess for the same. Otherwise, your condition could be worse than Kuntala.
23) AS THE EMBODIED.
SOUL OF Bhagawan MaHaulo Swami DID NOT CONFESS
Bhagwan Mahavir Swami had humiliated a queen in his birth of Tripushtha Vasudeva & also poured hot lead in the ears of shayyapalak servant. He did not confess & repent for this sin. As a result, in the birth of Tirthankar, that queen became Katputana & caused severe tortures. Shayyapalak servant was born as a cowman & hammered nails in the ears of Bhagvan Mahavir Swami.
