It is only your name that keeps humming in each and every breath of mine.
Such a divine experience! An attachment that is totally spiritual and devoid of any physical attraction! No doubt, there was a strong attraction, but it was for the amazing eyes of Lord Mahavir. There was also a deep desire to drown in the pool of the divine love flowing from HIS eyes. Chandanbala's attachment was that of a devotee who is drenched in the divine love of God.
The happiness, contentment and the supreme bliss which she did not experience amidst all the luxuries of this world... she experienced that happiness and contentment by drowning in the pool of the divine pool of love flowing from Parmatma's eyes.

Yet in the midst of all the luxuries of this materialistic world, her eyes were only seeking Parmatma's affectionate eyes. She was constantly preoccupied with HIS thoughts. Where must HE be? How must HE be staying....?
Her oneness and unity with Lord Mahavir reached a stage where she started feeling that, “My Lord is leading a simple life and eating simple food, how can I live in luxury and relish delicacies?”
