Bhai,
On the subject of sorrow.
A mother and child go into a store and the child gets fixed on a particular toy. The toy is very nice but costs $50.00 the mother has $50.00 for groceries until her next pay day. So she knows that if I buy this toy we will have nothing to eat for a week. The child insists on having the toy and after the mother politely refusing many times the child starts to cry because he is not getting the toy. Did the mother cause sorrow?
You are invited over to lokik family and they are having dinner in which you have been invited they forgot you are a vegetarian and did not prepare anything. The mother insists that you have some of the meat and yet you politely decline. The mother feels sad because you are not having some of her food. Did you cause sorrow?
There are many more examples you can give but here are a few common ones.
• So not causing sorrow what does that really mean?
Is everyone a pure soul?
