Some jeered at him with contempt: 'This is a cheat flying the flag of religion. He lost his money and his family threw him out, so he took up this way of living.'
कुछ तिरस्कार से ताने मारते: 'यह धर्म का झंडा उठाए ढोंगी है। धन गया, अपनों ने छोड़ दिया, तो इसने यह धंधा अपना लिया।'
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
When someone changes their life, others may mock their motives. The mendicant's story shows that such talk need not decide who we are.
जब कोई अपना जीवन बदलता है, तो लोग उसकी नीयत का मज़ाक उड़ा सकते हैं। भिक्षु की कथा दिखाती है कि ऐसी बातें यह तय नहीं करतीं कि हम कौन हैं।
Krishna reports the taunts people threw at the mendicant.
