intoxicated by your infatua on, played and splashed in the
gu er of your sensual pleasures like a pig. As a result, I forgot
religion and commi ed a number of sins. I think if I had really
died in such a state, then I would have definitely reached the
hellish sorrowful life. Once, you used to call me, your desperate
and in mate lover. Today as if to fill the lack of your love, you
ordered to put saw on my leg instead of the pillar! Is there any
niest trace of love in it? Instead, the false show off of love is
dripping with deceit and fraud! I thank my well-wisher who
intrigued my wits so that I could see your deceit trap! Are you
low bred? Of which race and caste do you belong?”
"Oh! You didn't even feel a bit of shame? You didn't even
think that 'This hi-noble human birth is not meant just to eat,
drink and merry. Instead, it is intended to imbibe higher
virtues and perform grave spiritual prac ces. You got so much
enslaved by senses and became so much foolish that instead of
corona ng Bhagwan on the heart throne, you made sit the evil
devils of blind a rac on for wealth and sensual pleasures. How
extremely mean is your thought process and behaviour! If you
wouldn't have caused such commo on then would these

would we take birth? We passed and transcended all the lower
forms of vegeta on, worms, ants, birds, animals etc. and got
such a noble human birth now. You should indeed feel sorry
that you forgot Vitrag Bhagwan (devoid of a rac on and

also trapped me together! Even I was senseless and a fool that I
gave no thought for the real welfare and benefit of myself. Also,
I didn't show the right path to my loving wife!" Saying so, he

Sundari was almost frozen listening to her husband's
heart-rending speech. But husband's last emo onal words
intrigued her into crying. She understood her extremely grave
mistake and fell in her husband's feet, crying hear ly. She
accepted her fraudulent nature and showed readiness to do
whatever he says.
Finally, Dharmadas explained the philosophy and tenets
of religion to her. He took her in the religious sermon of a Guru.
They started observing religious vows and pledges living a hi-
householder life, as training and rehearsal of monkhood. They
immersed themselves in devo on of Bhagwan, service to Guru,
religious rituals, self-restraint, penance, knowledge,
medita on. They both observed celibacy and in short, me
gathered guts to ini ate monkhood. The religious friend too
got inspired by their illustra on, understood the trifle and
fickle nature of the world and ini ated monkhood. Being
exceedingly benevolent to himself and others, he headed on to
blissful life forms. Thus, all the three of them made their lives
successful and praiseworthy.
