No matter what kind of substance it is, it gives some light when burned.

What activities do you lose yourself in?

Oh, think  🤔

In ancient times, there was a learned sage Kakshiwan who was well versed in all types of scriptures and Vedas. Once he went to meet Rishi Priyamedha who was a scholar like him and knowledgeable in all the scriptures. Both were also classmates and whenever they met, there was a long debate between the two, in which sometimes the orbiter and sometimes the beloved were victorious.  On that day also the sage Orbiter asked Priyamedha a question in the debate, “What is the thing that  that, if lit, produces heat but does not spread any light?” Priyamedha pondered a lot but was unable to answer the riddle. He promised to answer it later, but his life was spent trying to find the answer. No matter what kind of substance it is, it gives some light when burned

When the end time of Priyamedh Rishi came near, he sent a message to the sage Orbiter that I was unable to find the answer to your riddle, but I am sure that such a scholar will be born in my dynasty who will be able to answer your question. But promise me that you will not leave this earth until a scholar of my family answers your question. Saying this, he gave up his life. Orbiter was deeply saddened by his death, but what saddened him even more was that Priyamegha died in dissatisfaction because of his question After the death of Priyamegh, his son took the responsibility of answering this question but he too was unable to find the answer to this question and one day he also died. In the same way, one after the other, eight generations of Priyamegh fell into the cheek of time in an attempt to find the answer to the question of the orbiter. Orbiter stayed alive to find a solution to his riddle. As a boon, Kakshivan had received a pouch from Devraj Indra which was made of mongoose leather. It was full of rice grains and they had a boon that they would live until the rice grains were exhausted.


Every year they would take out a grain and throw it away, and were living to answer their question. In the ninth generation of Priyamegh, a child named Sakamshva was born, who was very learned since childhood. As a child, he had participated in innumerable scriptures and was always victorious. When Sakamsva grew up, one thing started pricking him his entire 8 generations had been unable to answer a riddle and the sage orbiters were alive only to get the answer to their question He decided that by finding the answer to this question, he would eradicate the stigma of his family and free the sage Orbiter from this life cycle. One day he was thinking about this question when he remembered a verse from Sama Veda and he was filled with emotion and started singing it in a melodious voice. With that, he also got the answer to his question. He immediately ran to the hermitage of the chamber and paid obeisance to him. The roomers knew as soon as they saw him that they would get the answer to their question today. Sakamsva said, “O Gurudev, a person who recites the Sama Veda after the Rig Veda, that singing is like a fire from which both heat and light are produced.


But the person who sings only the hymns of the Rig Veda, not the Sama Veda, that singing is like the real fire, but this is the fire from which heat is produced but not light.  Hearing Sakamshva’s reply, tears welled up in the eyes of the orbiter. He said in a full voice, “O son! You are blessed. A question I inadvertently asked snatched my dear friend Priyamegh from me. Not only this, I also saw many generations of him in front of me in the dark.   But today by answering this question, you not only benefited your ancestors but also freed me from this cycle of life. Saying this, he gave his bag to Sakamshva and asked him to scatter the remaining rice grains so that he could go to the next world.  At his command, Sakamsva threw all the rice grains on the earth, and then the orbiter gave up his body.
This is Prabodha, this is the Sumarti for which this human body has been obtained.

All of us human beings have kept ourselves in the limited range where we only have our job, savings account, children, and education, so far our thinking power has been limited. Instead of giving space to new thinking, people are busy shopping, new mobiles, and fashion styles. The difficult problem today is the weakening of willpower. Whether it is worth considering whether it is worth considering or not that only external option is being given importance to solve the problem!!!
