EMPEROR VIKRAMADITYA
The old Brahmin recited a verse
The Brahmin said
|
I could not understand the meaning of this verse.
Please explain.
Why pluck buds ? Why destroy garden? Offer flowers to unblemished, why wander in jungle ?*
Ask whatever you want to but
be quick
Siddhasen scratched his head and thought.
Even I do not
understand the meaning of this verse.
Who is this scholar?
Lost in his thoughts, Siddhasen was suddenly alarmed. He looked at the old man carefully
Only my guru is such a scholar. Isn't
he my guru?
# This human life is a creeper with delicate flowers. Why destroy it by plucking buds of mundane comforts ? Over
indulgence in the mundane destroys the spiritual garden. Offer the flowers of virtues to the unblemished Jina, why Jain Edu wander in the jungle of rebirths ?
