________________
Mahavir Nirvana - Cremation
Why Bhagwant? You knew how much I loved you. You knew of my immense attachment to you. Did you think that my attachment would have stopped you from leaving? Would that have blocked your journey to siddha-loka? No, no Bhagwant, although I am still possessed of the attachment, you are free from it. You, a Vitaragi (one who has conquered all passions and emotions) would not have been affected by my raga (love and attachment). Bhagwant, if not for my love, then at least for the sake of this earth, and for these helpless plants and animals, could you not have opted for another re-birth?
