Kisa Gautami.


- Gautami heard this sound of distance exactly. Realizing that, his madness subsided. The light of knowledge came. The tears stopped coming

A woman named Kisa Gautami lived in the town of Shra. He had a son. She raised her son with great care. Gautami's life was filled with joy because of the child.

But God did not approve of his pleasure. Her baby fell ill. Gautami did many treatments. Even after consulting the doctors ... the child did not survive.

Gautami could not believe that the child was dead. It seemed to him that the child would wake up now, open his eyes now, move now.

Gautami left the house before taking the child to the crematorium. She carried a dead baby in her arms.

She was wandering from house to house with tears in her eyes. Urging everyone to keep my baby alive.

Every doctor, hakim, sadhu-sant of the town came to the door.

But no one raised the dead child. Then Gautami started crying. She was disappointed. Her senses were blown away. Wandering from house to house like a madman.

She was wandering around with the dead child on her chest.

Some were smiling, some were crying and some were showing pity.

A good man met him. Seeing Gautami's despair, he felt pity. He gave the right advice: 'Sister, instead of wandering around, surrender to Lord Buddha. Maybe it will keep your baby alive. There is no better doctor in the world. '

Gautami went to Lord Buddha. The Buddha listened to all this very patiently. Then spoke:

'I will save your child from death. But for that you have to fulfill a condition. Ask for a handful of sesame seeds from a house where no one has died. If you do this, your child will have a new life. '

A ray of hope was tied in Gautami's heart. Going from house to house, he started asking: 'I have been sent by Lord Buddha. Have you died there If not, please give me a handful. '

Gautami used to get the same answer from every house, 'Hey sister, it is certain that people have died in this house. Is there a house in which there is no death? '

Gautami got such an answer from house to house. Hearing that, her eyelids disappeared. He heard the voice of the soul: 'O Gandhi! In every house a man dies. Everyone's heart is broken when their loved one dies. But not everyone cries again at home showing madness. So you just wander around like crazy. '

Gautami heard this voice from a distance. Realizing that, his madness subsided. The light of knowledge came. The tears stopped coming. It so happened that God has taught me a lesson by giving an example of a handful of sesame seeds.

She calmed down and went to the cemetery. He cremated his dead son, who was lying on his chest.

Returning from the cemetery, she surrendered to Lord Buddha.

Buddha asked Lord: 'Gautami, did you get a handful of sesame seeds? Didn't find a house where death had not gone? '

Gautami bowed his head at the Lord's feet. Charanraj climbed on the head. Lord Buddha preached to him: 'Gautami, everyone born into this world has to die. What has come is gone. Coming and going is not in our hands. Advantages, disadvantages, joys and sorrows should all be balanced. That is our duty. That is our religion. There is no point in mourning something that is out of our control. To mourn means to be proud. Even birth and death are not in our hands. So there is no point in having happiness or sorrow about it. That is Fogat. Leave the lie. Understanding the truth. Peacefully, patiently, walk on the path of your duty. ' Gautami became a nun after hearing the teachings of God. She has been serving all her life.
