If we give love, we will get love and that too with interest and if we give pain, we will get pain with interest. This is the mathematics of karma.
As Chandana is preoccupied with these thoughts, someone starts knocking noisily on the door of the dark room she is in. She is petrified... Then, she hears the sound of the door opening... out of fear, she tries to get up but falls back. The person who entered the room hears the sound of Chandana's fall. He utters some words...
Words that are uttered usually are of two types. Some words are like salty sea water. Some words are sweet, like the water of the Ganges. Some words make people laugh. Some words make people cry.
The words that fall on Chandana's ears are sweet and soothing like the water of the Ganges. She hears, “My daughter, Chandana...”
Chandana's face brightens with happiness when she hears these loving words and sees her father entering the room. Her fear vanishes and she says, “Father! You are here!"
The sheth could not hear Chandana's words. He was too shocked to see her ill state. Before he left town, he had seen her happy and joyful and today, he is seeing her in a totally contrasting state.
No hair on her head, her hands and legs are tied, she is locked in a small dark room and her innocent face has lost all its charm due to hunger and thirst.
The sheth is looking at Chandana and she is looking at him. Imagine the scenario...!!! What were Chandana's feelings?
If a person meets someone who offers him love and affection, especially when he is surrounded by pain and unhappiness, how does he feel?
If someone comes to save us when we are about to drown, how would we feel ?
