________________ Riddhi (le pouvoir surnaturel) Om hrīm arham namo sappi savinam (Jhraum jhraum namah swāhā) Evidential STory - 42 Humans should not always remain ignorant, but study the situations, and every word need to be evaluated in one's own mind and then only act. One who listens must be careful and understanding towards the one who criticizes. Now, we find, brother against brother and the whole family getting divided, love diminishing what is the reason for it ? Generally speaking it is found that the ladies are the cause, no one knows what magic they play among husbands and wives who are so united as milk and water to make them enemies of each other. It happens only when the husband is not careful wise and sensible. Similarly the following is a true story. When Gumana came from Ginlaya to Mathura and entered the beautiful palace of his brother his brother red with anger shouted at him saying be careful, if you enter, stupid as you are, you are not worthy to be called the king's brother. I don't want even to see your face. Go back immediately as you came, and if you don't go, I'll order my soldiers to kick you out. He was unaware of what was happening hence stood speechless. But he realized that it was not his brother but that of the king. After the demise of his father, his brother was the successor for the kingdom. He thought that when a person gets the throne and the power one becomes mad and unable of recognize right from wrong, justice from injustice. In such situations when one becomes blind and stubborn something happens that one forgets everything and starts helping the people do good works, protects religion honors others and shows the way to goodness. Whatever Srawan did to viveshen, whatever Bharat did to Bahubali, same manner Mathura Naresh Ramkethu did. Being instigated by his wife he ill treated his own younger brother and exiled him from his our country ? What a pitiable state was that simple humble young brother Gunvatha who was absolutely ignorant of all politics and laws, yet he was removed. He was always engaged in religious practices, learning and other good works how could this injustice be meted out to him ? But who would oppose this injustice and the cruel king. Who would break their head to protect justice and truth ? History shows that the mighty wins always and all others take their sides. But the state minister tried his best to make the king understand. Unfortunate situations make everything fall apart. At these moments easily and quickly thoughts of reverse takeover. Doesn't it came in the slokas ? folk tales ? Sugri against his brother Bali, and vivishen against his elder brother Ram, took the help of Ramchanderji, Gunvatha was generous, holy broadminded and large hearted. He drank this unjust humiliations and did not utter a word. Like Bahubali he took this situation as the reason for his exils. If you keep on trusting in God and with devotion keep praying you will always be successful. But with bad thoughts in your mind even if you spent time in contemplation, prayer and yoga even then the obstacles will continue to be there standing in front of you. It says that Gunvatha with devotion and concentration kept on reciting bhaktamar stotra 42, 43 renounced all the politics of life and was taught by ganeshwari and achieved heaven like Indra Dev.
