Today we will receive the answer to the question of Yamaraj: "What will you refuse and be happy?" - to which Yudhishthira replied: "You will refuse to lust and you will be happy!" Today I will tell you one story on this subject, which is described in Mahabharata. She was told by Narada when he came to the Pandavas to talk with them about Draupadi, who was one wife of the five princes. He explained to them that this is a very difficult situation, and since Draupadi is their common legitimate wife, they should adhere to strict rules that would exclude all kinds of discord between relatives. And he told the story of how two brothers Sunda and Podasunda once lived. They were so friendly that no one in three worlds could cope with them. They shared one kingdom, one house, one bed, and even ate from one dish. But in the end, they killed each other because of the beauty of the APSARA Tilottama. And Narada began to explain that your friendship also, although it is considered the strongest on this earth, needs protection. After all, where one woman and many men can arise in great trouble.

And this story began with the fact that a long time ago by the world was ruled by the mighty demon Nikubh, one of the descendants of Hiranyakaship. He had two sons endowed with extraordinary strength and simply terrifying courage. They were so friendly that they did nothing separately, they did everything only together. In every possible way, pleasing to each other and words and deeds, the brothers behaved as if it were one person divided in two. Over time, they became stronger and stronger, and gradually they came to one single goal - to conquer all three worlds. Having joined the Vedic science, they went to the Himalayas and there they took up incredibly harsh asceticizes. The Vedas are able to fulfill any desire of a person. They so wanted to become invincible that they were ready to do anything only to get endless power. Having chosen the method of gaining strength through yoga, they went in clothes from wood bark, let go of long shaggy hair and, using very little food and water, brought themselves to extreme exhaustion. Their legs were covered with dirt, and, in the end, they began to eat only air - these were probably the first pranachads. They stood for a long time on tiptoe, with their hands raised, looking with unblinking eyes and sacrificing pieces of their own body, and sacredly observed all the vows taken.

The demigods were frightened of such a force, and all kinds of obstacles on their way of yoga began to be built. Once again and again, they tried to seduce the brothers, sending them jewelry and women, but they firmly held their vows, observing them with all their fraternal determination. Then the demigods resorted to magic: the brothers suddenly saw their sisters, mother, aunt, wives and other relatives in front of them. Behind them in anger chased with a spear in his hand, ferocious Rakshas. Frightened women with loose hair, with dangling jewelry, with falling clothes ran away from Rakshas, calling to the aid of their brothers. But even this did not act on them, faithful to their vows, the brothers continued to engage in asceticism to gain power over the whole world. They did not allow themselves to distract themselves from their plan, did not feel any compassion, and soon the whole scene, along with women and Rakshas, simply disappeared. The illusion did not work ...
Finally, the forefront of this world, Brahma himself, appeared to the two great demons, and invited them to fulfill any of their desires. Both brothers Sunda and Podasunda were unshakable in their determination and, seeing the creator of the world in front of them, folding his hands together, and unanimously asked for knowledge of magic, the ability to own weapons and the ability to change their bodily appearance. But the most important thing that they asked is immortality. Brahma replied that he could give them everything they ask, everything except immortality. However, he allowed them to choose death for himself, as was in charge of the demigods. He explained to the brothers that since they accomplished their harsh feats to achieve a material goal, and by striving for a material goal, one should never achieve immortality. You just want to win the entire universe, and to Bess
