Shatbal and Sahasrabal both bowed down to mahasati Malaya. They both sat down near her feet. The sati gąve religious instructions to all present. All became blessed with her precious words. Addressing her sons, the sati then said :
“This wordly relation is false like a dream. The relations of father, son, mother, wife, etc. are all false. These relations exist only for the enjoyment of actions and for the distruction of the bonds of actions.
By being born again and again in this world a person sometimes becomes a father, sometimes he becomes a brother or a son and so on. The source of all miseries is false allurement towards worldly relations and objects. It is on account of this allurement only that we do not get salvation. It is on account of this allurement that we are frequently revolving qui selves in the cycle of births and deaths.
