Srimad Bhagavatam - Jada Bharata’s Teachings
How did Jada Bharata respond to King Rahuguna's abuse? Is the relationship between master and servant permanent?
Enraged Rahugana mocked Jada Bharata unsparingly. He said, "You are tired, worked for long hours, walked a long way. You are as good as dead, and that you ignored my commands. I shall punish you."
Jada Bharata said, "I am in no way fatigued and that I have not borne the palanquine. This burden was borne on by the body, not me (the soul). "
Jada Bharata explains the meaning of Self:
"Stoutness and leanness, bodily ailments and mental worries, hunger and thirst, fear and strife, desire and old age, sleep and attachment to the pleasures of sense, anger and vanity arise from egotism and grief.
They appear only in one who is born with a feeling of identification with the body and not in me (the pure self). "
Death synchronous with life is a rule perceived in everything that undergoes transformation; for whatever undergoes transformation has a beginning and an end.
Orders should be given by one and carried out by another without fail only where the relation of servant and master is fixed (unchangable).
In our case, it is not so because you can become a servant and I your master if there is a revolution. He reveals details of his past births.
On hearing the reply of Brahmana, Rahugana realizes his mistake and asks for forgiveness.
