A Victim of affection

[Guest guest]

Humble Pranams at the divine lotus feet Of our beloved Bhagawan, Continued..................... The human form of life is especially valuable,because only a human can understand the transcedental knowledge that can free him from the cycle of birth and death.But Ajamila had wasted his human life. "In the begenning,"the Yamadutas said,"Ajamila studied all the vedic literatures.He was a resorvoir of good character and conduct.He was very mild and gentle,and he kept hisa mind and senses under control.He was always truthful,knew how to chant the vedic mantras,and was very pure.Ajamila alwas showed proper respect to his spiritual master,guests, and the elderly members of his household- indeed,he was free from false prestige.He was benevolent to all living beings and never envied anyone. "but once,Ajamila,following the order of his father

,went to the forest to collect fruits and flowers.On the way home,he came upon a very lusty,low-class man being in the company of a prostitute .When Ajamila saw this he fell under their influence and in illusion fell under their control. He tried to remember the instructions of the scriptures,and with the help of his knowledge and intellect.He tried to control his lust.But because of the force of Cupid with in his heart,he was unable to control his mind.After that,he always thought of her and with in a short time he took her in as a servant in his house. "Ajamila then gave up all of his spiritual practices.He spent the money he had inherited from his father for presents for the prostitute and even rejected his beautiful young wife,who cam from a respsctable Bramhana family. "This Ajamila got money any way he could,legally or illegaly,and used it to maintain the prostitute's

sons and daughters.Before death,he did not undergo atonement.Therefore,because of his sinful life,we must take him to the court of Yamaraja.There,according to the extent of his sinful acts,he will be punished and then returned to the material world in a suitable body."
