The midday sun was at its scorching best! On the bank of the river, was a snake, with its hood raised over a frog. It appeared as if the snake was about to devour the frog, but a closer look revealed that the snake was, in fact, protecting the frog from the harsh sun!
Curious now, he continued to watch, and saw that the snake was indeed shading the frog, which was undergoing labour pains! The moment passed, and the creatures went their way. However, the young man was struck by the sight of a creature being protected by its deadly enemy.

🔷युवक के पिता : आपने यह क्या किया ? यह कैसा संन्यास ?मेरा बेटा अभी गृहस्थाश्रम में भी नहीं गया है; बाद में वानप्रस्थाश्रम आएगा। ७० वर्ष के उपरांत संन्यास लिया जाता है, यह बात धर्मशास्त्र कहता है। आप शास्त्र के विरुद्ध कार्य कर रहे हैं। शास्त्र की आज्ञा का उल्लंघन कर रहे हैं।
