In yesterday's lecture Gurudeo covered story from 20th chapter of "Uttaradhaynsutra" titled "Mahanigranthiya".It was a touching one.
It appealed to me very much as it points out harsh truth of human limitations. Incident narrated in the story is common in modern time. Out of blue suddenly, we can witness a young guy enjoying life and
fame hit by destiny Here is the coverage. A-nath means orphan.
Shrenk was king of "Maghad-desh "and among prominent devotees
of Mahaveerswami. One day on his visit to forest, he saw one Jain
monk in meditation .King was very surprised to see such a young man with beautiful personality leaving domestic life. With curiosity
,he stopped at tree and offered the monk due respect and asked the
monk reasons for his taking Diksha to become a Jain monk.
The monk referred himself as "Anath" and said "King-! I am an orphan. I could not find anyone who can offer me- real shelter and become my guardian in my difficult time, Hence I left the domestic world and became monk by taking Diksha the monk replied.
On hearing it. King immediately shown his willingness to take monk's care ,if he returns back with him to his palace in kingdom.
The monk smiled and said-"King you are yourself an orphan, how an orphan can take care of another orphan-----?. The surprised king
briefed the monk his wealth and empire. The he pleaded with monk
to review his false remark for him.As monk do not tell lies.
Then the monk explained the king his background & circumstances
which compelled the monk to leave home. The monk said "King
I belonged to a very affluent family from Koshambinagari." The monk shared his life's story and detailed reasons for his action and
views. I will cover the rest happening in second part to adjust space.
JAI JINENDRA---------!!!---------JAI MAHAVEER--------!!!.
