After spending miserable days in imprisonment, Chandanbala is finally experiencing happy days. But somehow, she is not cheerful.
On the contrary, she is gloomy because her Lord has left. Chandanbala meets Lord Mahavir. But how does she make this meeting fruitful and beneficial for herself? How does she become one with the Lord?
Every atma (soul) aspires to become Parmatma.
Due to some good karmas, one gets a Guru. What should occur in order to make this meeting fruitful ? What should we do in order to attain Moksh (a state of permanent bliss/salvation) with their guidance and inspiration?
What did Chandanbala do to attain Moksh with her dear Parmatma?
The unhappiness that Chandanbala experiences on Lord Mahavir's departure from her life is exponentially greater than the happiness that she felt upon his arrival.
People are telling her, “Chandanbala, look at your hair. It is so beautiful.” But Chandanbala is uninterested in her hair. She is only interested in Lord Mahavir's divine love and affection.
Chandanbala is taken to the palace.
Observe the mathematics of karma. Till yesterday, she was hungry and had not eaten for three days. She was imprisoned in a small dark room. Today, she finds herself in a palace.
From being born in a palace... to the jungle... to the charioteers's house... to being sold in the market... then enjoying the seven-storey magnificent mansion to the suffering of the small dark room... and today, back to the palace !!!
We should always remember that, just as high tide and low tide are the natural course of the sea, similarly, happiness and unhappiness are part of the passage of life.
One's cause of happiness today may tomorrow become the cause
