In Samvat 1921, in the month of Kartik, Swami said, “Whatever actions are done, keep the fruits of them in mind. So, see what is the consequence of lust? Similarly, of anger, greed, ego, taste and attachment – observe their results. Listen, I will describe them. From lust, Indra developed a thousand pus-oozing ulcers; from anger, Durvasa faced misery; from ego, Daksh encountered unhappiness; from greed, King Nand suffered misery; from taste, Shrungi Rishi suffered; and from affection for someone, Nahush had to become a snake.1 How many instances shall I recount, since that path is bad. Therefore, somehow maintain your body and keep the company of this Sadhu, since one will certainly not stay in this world.” Swami repeated this four times. Then he said, “We do everything as we like and believe there is happiness in it, but when God grabs one’s throat, food or water will not go down and one will die.” Footnotes: 1. 1. King Nahush was a king of Ayodhya. He descended from the ancient Ikshvāku dynasty. He was King Ambarish’s son and Father of Yayāti. According to Mahābhārat, he is the son of Āyu, a king of the Chandra dynasty of kings. According to Purāns, he was very heroic and virtuous. He performed many yagnas and austerities and had received blessings from many deities. When Indra killed Vishwarup and Vrutrāsur, he was tainted with the sin of killing two brāhmins. Fearing the worst, he abdicated his throne and hid in Kamalnāl. Seeing the position of Indra empty, the rishis and other deities decided unanimously to give the position to Nahush. While enjoying Indra’s rule, he felt he had enjoyed everything except Indra’s wife Shachi. He sent a message to Shachi to ask her to become his wife. Shachi felt this was not an appropriate request and sough the advice of Indra and Bruhaspati. Following their advice, she sent a message to Nahush to ask him to come sitting in a palanquin carried by Saptarshi (seven rishis) - only then will she become his. Nahush had become infatuated with Shachi and lost his sense of judgment. He had Agatsya and other great rishis carry his palanquin to be carried to Shachi. He was in a hurry to reach Sachi. On the way, he touched the rishis’ head with his foot and repeated, “Sarp, sarp!” (Hurry, hurry.) Agatsya became angered with Nahush’s apparent misconduct and cursed him to become a serpent. Nahush had to live as a serpent for 10,000 years. In this way, because of his affection for Shachi, he had to become a serpent. [Mahābhārat, Shāntiparva: 342/28-52]
