Having lost all his wealth, he felt great pain and lamentation. His throat choked up with tears, and he meditated for a long time on his fortune. Then a powerful feeling of renunciation came over him.
Purport
The brāhmaṇa had previously been trained in pious life, but his past goodness was covered by his offensive behavior. Finally, his previous purity was reawakened within him.

Translation
Meditating for a long time, having lost his fortune and feeling great pain and lamentation, his throat choked up with tears, he experienced a powerful feeling of renunciation.
After experiencing and thereby completing the effects of his offenses to others, an old impression arose within him. Having lost all wealth and feeling great pain, he became detached.
Personal Guidance
Losing everything, his throat choked with tears, he meditated long on his fortune and felt powerful renunciation arising. Disaster matures into the doorway.
Reflection Questions
- When in my life did a loss mature into a doorway?
- How long did I resist before walking through?
