As an unfaithful wife who would conspire to kill her husband, the deceitful mind will betray the seeker.

Rishabha shows an example here for the Sadhak too. Finally the Lord in disguise of a Yogi dropped his body in a wildfire, ending his long and perfect life.

Note – here, we can see how our mind can divert our life from the right track to the wrong path and end in misery. So, Lord Rishabha is showing how to conquer the mind’s weaknesses.

We must watch the negative traits in our mind and take utmost care to save ourselves from misery.

Dear Devotee,
When a child shows the first signs of troublesome character, we must analyse what is going wrong with him/her. An ignored warning sign can lead to a disastrous life later.
Cravings for sensory pleasures must be redirected to see the form of the Lord, hear His glory, chant His Nama and feel His presence. A mind turned outwards cannot help you, but a mind turned inwards will guide you always. Are we checking where our attention is now?
HariOm!
