Nagrathik And Sulsa’s Reactions

Nagrathik’s sorrow was boundless. All his beloved 32 sons
died in one stroke. His intense desire to acquire a son and the
extreme joy on the fulfilment of this desire were completely
shattered. Once you lose someone to death you are surely not
going to get him back.

Death of a beloved one is sure to bring down your pride, joy
and excitement.

I am the father of such virtuous and noble sons.

I am the husband of such a beautiful and compliant wife.

I am the wife of a millionaire.

How long does this pride exist? Only till they are alive. What
happens after their death? You are constantly pleased about
the favourable situation you have acquired. You get so carried
away by this joy that God, Guru and Religion are forgotten.

Your spiritual progress is also hampered. But now what is
your state on the death of these beloved ones?
