दुःखजन्मप्रवृत्तिदोषमिथ्याज्ञानानामुत्तरोत्तरापाये तदनन्तरापायादपवर्गः II1/1/2 न्यायदर्शन अर्थ : तत्वज्ञान से मिथ्या ज्ञान का नाश हो जाता है और मिथ्या ज्ञान के नाश से राग द्वेषादि दोषों का नाश हो जाता है, दोषों के नाश से प्रवृत्ति का नाश हो जाता है। प्रवृत्ति के नाश होने से कर्म बन्द हो जाते हैं। कर्म के न होने से प्रारम्भ का बनना बन्द हो जाता है, प्रारम्भ के न होने से जन्म-मरण नहीं होते और जन्म मरण ही न हुए तो दुःख-सुख किस प्रकार हो सकता है। क्योंकि दुःख तब ही तक रह सकता है जब तक मन है। और मन में जब तक राग-द्वेष रहते हैं तब तक ही सम्पूर्ण काम चलते रहते हैं। क्योंकि जिन अवस्थाओं में मन हीन विद्यमान हो उनमें दुःख सुख हो ही नहीं सकते । क्योंकि दुःख के रहने का स्थान मन है। मन जिस वस्तु को आत्मा के अनुकूल समझता है उसके प्राप्त करने की इच्छा करता है। इसी का नाम राग है। यदि वह जिस वस्तु से प्यार करता है यदि मिल जाती है तो वह सुख मानता है। यदि नहीं मिलती तो दुःख मानता है। जिस वस्तु की मन इच्छा करता है उसके प्राप्त करने के लिए दो प्रकार के कर्म होते हैं। या तो हिंसा व चोरी करता है या दूसरों का उपकार व दान आदि सुकर्म करता है। सुकर्म का फल सुख और दुष्कर्मों का फल दुःख होता है परन्तु जब तक दुःख सुख दोनों का भोग न हो तब तक मनुष्य शरीर नहीं मिल सकता !

Devil’s Wealth

A Tale of Greed and Unexpected Justice
Devil’s Wealth

Once upon a time, in a small village in Russia, there lived a poor old man and his elderly wife. One harsh winter, the old lady passed away.

It was a cold, foggy night, and the old man needed help to bury her. He went from neighbor to neighbor, asking for assistance, but nobody was willing to help in the freezing weather.

Finally, he approached the village priest, hoping for mercy. The priest, however, asked, “Do you have money? You must pay me for this service.”

“I am a poor man,” replied the old man, “I don’t even have a single penny. But I promise to pay you later.”

The priest refused to help and sent him away. With no other choice, the old man took a hoe and went to the graveyard to dig the grave himself.

As he dug, the hoe struck something hard. Curious, he cleared the soil and discovered a pitcher filled with gold coins. Overjoyed, he thought, “Now I can bury my wife properly and even host a feast for the priest and neighbors.”

He carefully hid the majority of the gold, keeping only some for immediate use, and returned to the priest. The priest, seeing the wealth, greedily agreed to help after all.

After the burial, the old man hosted a lavish feast. Everyone, including the priest, enjoyed it. But after the guests left, the priest questioned the old man, suspicious of where he had suddenly gotten so much money.

The old man told the truth: “I found a pot of gold buried in the ground.”

The priest, however, was greedy. He plotted to steal the gold. One night, he dressed himself in a terrifying disguise: he killed his old goat, used its skin, horns, and beard to make himself look like a fearsome devil, and went to the old man’s house.

Knocking on the window, he shouted, “I am a devil! Return the gold you took!”

The old man, frightened, quickly offered the gold pitcher. The priest gleefully took it home and tried to remove the goat disguise. But the disguise had cursed him—he could not remove the skin, horns, or beard. In pain and panic, he tried everything, but nothing worked.

The old man refused to take back the gold, leaving the priest trapped in his devilish form. From that day, the priest suffered the consequences of his greed, regretted his actions, and was despised by the villagers for his misdeeds.

Moral: Greed and deceit never go unpunished. True honesty is always rewarded, even in unexpected ways.
