Village scholars began to apologize for the shepherd’s mistake. People talked about building a room for Swamiji. So that no one can become an obstacle in their practice. Lord Mahavira listened to everyone’s words in peace. All these shepherds he said are also my own. Small children shout at their parents, kill them, parents are not angry with the children because of this. I am not angry with these shepherds. You do not need to make room for me. Please spend this money for the welfare of the poor.
