completed the life as Vyantar and was then born as a human being. The soul of Sumangal became King Shrenik, and the soul of Senak became his son named as Konik. According to his previous life Niyānā, Konik on growing young imprisoned his father King Shrenik and got him beaten up with a whip. The sense of revenge - envy, does accompany the soul even in the next (re)birth. such son Konic with his sense of revenge died, & went to 6th Hall. King Shrenik after death got 1st Hell, and after 84 thousand years would become the 1st Tirthankar God named as "Padmnabh Swami" in the future Chowisi.(Twenty four Gods per Jainism.)
[33] NIYANĀ (i.e. strong and firm desire) is the probable cause of axtreme-revenge, and it is such severe revengeful sense of past birth which is the cause of severe envy or malice Father & son , Shrenik and Konik's previous life is described in Updeshmãlã (sermonful) scripture by Pujya Dharmadāsji Gani and in Tika i.e. Scripture by Rev. Pujya Ratnaprabhasuri Mahārāj the same is as follows:
King Sinh, of the Simada province had a son named as Prince Sumangal and the King's Minister had a son named as Senak. Unfortunate Senak, due to the consequences of his own Karma, had a crooked and ugly Physic, So Prince Sumangal always used to tease him. Ultimately Senak was very much disturbed by the Prince and therefore he left his home. He went to some Ashram in the jungle and became Tapas (one who does Tapasya or Tap i.e. Religious penance like fasting and meditation etc.] He went on fasting for a month [Mãskhaman]for several months.
One day Sumangal, who then became a King, went in jungle for a sport, there he saw Tapas [Senak] and recollected and recognised him and started chitchat and upon knowing about has penance of fasting the King invited Senak for Pārnā [breaking of fast) in his palace. After a month Tapas went to the palace, but the king was badly sick and was suffering great pain. As such, the palace was closed. The gatekeepers didnot allow Tāpas to enter. Tāpas returned back and took the oath for 2nd Maskhaman. The King again went and apologised and invited Senak, again for the next Pärnã. Tāpas went for the 2nd time but a son had born to the King and there were various functions going on in the palace. Tāpas quietly left the palace and he took oath for the 3rd Maskhaman. The King again went in forest. after some days, again he apologised and invited Senak for the pãrnā. Tāpas went to the palace for the 3rd time for his pārnă, but since there was a murder in the palace the tensed king had forgotten about parna, as also the day of pārnā, The surroundings and atmosphere of palace was flaberghasted & astonished. There was a strict security around the palace. Tāpas again returned back.
This time, Tāpas became highly furious with heat and fire of anger,made a Niyãnã a strong desire]"Alas! The King has even - now harassed me a lot, given me great sorrows, If there is any reward for my great penance, let me be his murderer in the next birth. The root of revenge became much deeper & stronger. The tradition of revenge went on increasing. Both of them died. In between soul of Senak (Tapas)
First and foremost, in order to avoid envy and attachment, we would have to take the shelter of Vitrag [Veet = gone and Raag = attachment]viz one whose attachment has gone or one who has conquered sense of attachment [i.e. God) who is always free from attachment and malice / envy / enmity. Worth is shelter of one in whom there is no attechment or envy left, and it is only His worship and devotion which is necessary to be performed.
One can never be a Vitrāgi by performing devotion worship of Dev[God), Guru or Sadhu or deity-who themselves are envy and with vice of attachment. One who is not himself a Vitrāgi, how could he make others a Vitrāgi ? Therefore, only a conqueror of vices of envy & attachment can become a God. Only a God or Vitrāgi Guru can protect us from the cycle of envy and attachment. The best way to become a Vitrāgi is to get the shelter of the Vitrag [i.e. God]
There is generally a quarrel between relativesrelations, such as father and son, mother and son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. husband and wife, brother and brother, uncle and nephew, father-in-law and son-in-law etc., However, sometimes between unknown persons and strangers too- upon arising of a cause of dispute a quarrel can take place. But the ratio of quarrel is much more higher within the relations / relatives. The quarrels between wife and husband, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are like never ending waves in the sea. There are several families where a single day does not pass without a quarrel. It doesnot take time to quarrel, within the relation/ relatives. As soon as a talk begins, the quarrel too. And once a quarrel begins,people break the limits / barriers of respect, attiquattee and morality.
Due to the dirty thoughts, even the language worse. People donot feel even a slightest hesitation to use abusive language. Bad words become highly
Oh God! Hell for me?!... I dare not even think of...
