Somewhere there was a Sadhu Baba’s Ashram on the bank of a lake. On the other side of the lake, a city bride had opened her business and spread very well. Before making the city bride a hut, Sadhu Baba was progressing very well by meditating, penance, but since the day he became a hut, his work of meditation and penance has been completed. From morning to night, all kinds of customers used to come and go. And Sadhu Baba used to count his number from the Ashram on the other side of the lake! Seeing all he used to condemn Sadhu Baba Nagarwadhu for his low (dirty) life journey!
While seeing the Sadhu Baba sitting in the Ashram on the other side of the lake, the city bride used to salute him morning and evening.
She used to think how virtuous that Sadhu Baba is – due to lack he had to adopt this way, and how sacred Sadhu Baba is! In the same way that city bride burns in the fire of repentance about her disgusting lifestyle everyday, and thinks about the holy life of Sadhu Baba!
While Sadhu Baba despite his life in the Ashram, he was immersed in contemplation of the city bride all day and thought about his dirty lifestyle! Also calculated how many customers came and went!
This is how both were living! But every subject has a limit, and it has an end! According to the rules of time, that Sadhu Baba has grown old! It’s almost time to leave the body! According to the rule of Mahakal, at the same time, the time of the city bride was nearing!
Yamdoot and Vishnu Dut came before leaving the body (before death)! But after fun this happened, Vishnu messenger visited Nagarwadhu and Yamdut visited Sadhu Baba!
At the time of death, Sadhu Baba became very unhappy to see Sadhu Baba Yamdut, and said, “Maybe you have made some mistake!” You go the city bride’s cottage across the lake! And send the angel of god here! “The Yamdut said – “We have not made a mistake Sadhu Baba! You made a mistake! You failed to fulfill the resolution you made in life! Not making the mind colorful but making your chola colorful, what is your mistake Yogi! ! ‘You wore saffron clothes, worshiped, meditated, but your mind was lying in a brothel! That’s why the speed of mind is taking you to hell! And that city bride despite doing prostitution throughout her life, her mind always contemplated about the life of a saint and his purity. In the fire of ever regret and repentance, all their dirt burned to ashes. That’s why her speed will be in Vishnulok. That’s why Vishnu messenger has come to pick him up. And I have come to take you! Sadhu Baba, now come with me. “
This story is very popular in Vaishnavashastra. Yet after telling this story in the story context Guru Maharaj aimed to everyone present – “Shastra is in – “Yadrushi Bhavana Yasya Siddhirbhati Tadrushi”. Emotion – Desire – Action. The first feeling of a man is born in his mind, according to the same feeling, a man awakens the desire for his karma and a man acts according to his tendencies. That means, understand that the feeling of a man’s life controls a man. Good feelings lead a man to good side and bad or bad feelings spoil a man’s character. Once a person’s character is spoiled, he causes a huge loss in his life!
That’s why it would be better to accept good and not leave yourself in the flow of Gaddalika, dependent on conscience and think about good and bad. Thakur Shri Ram Krishna Dev also used to say, “whose feeling, his benefit”. . “
