________________ No problem is ever permanent. One more truth of life is : Only that much pain befalls you, as much as you can bear. Who was the person who purchased Vasumati with one lakh gold coins ? She was a courtesan. A princess born in a palace was today on her way to the house of a courtesan. Vasumati's beauty drives her to pay one lakh gold coins. once a princess... today a pauper! What will she do there? Entertain guests !!! When she was about to take her first step, a miracle took place! Always remember - An eclipse never obstructs the stars, a rose never grows in a desert and a person never gets more pain than he can bear. When Vasumati moves a step ahead, suddenly, a whole group of monkeys appear and attack the courtesan. She is badly bruised by them and is bleeding profusely. The courtesan is extremely terrified. At that time, Vasumati thinks, “God is definitely with me! My good luck has at last favored me. My good karmas have at last come to my rescue in the midst of so much misery.” The frightened and injured courtesan was about to flee when a rich merchant's gaze fell upon Vasumati. When we feel that we are surrounded by darkness from all sides, just at that moment, a ray of hope appears from somewhere. The arrival of the merchant in Vasumati's life seemed like the only ray of hope in her otherwise dark life. The merchant, whose name is Dhanavah sheth, sees this innocent and frightened girl. Looking at her face, he senses royalty. He notices child-like innocence in her eyes. He sees her beauty, coupled with tranquility. Instantly, he develops a soft corner for the girl. He experiences fatherly affection for her. If in any birth, we had made a connection with another person, then once again, when we come in contact with that person, we may not recognize him/her, but that connection will rouse feelings in our heart for him/her. = 12
