Depression! Sharada locked in the house for three months. Destruction! Several attempts to kill herself. Ashrams, temples, charities, but still she could not come out of Anirudh.
Weakness, weakness and more weakness of the body and mind; there are remedies in this world - God.
She kept reading the 2nd Chapter of the Bhagwad Gita, which summarises the entire Holy Song: starts with Arjuna's grief and then the final Kurukshetra battle.
A verse in it "Active Resistence to Evil", is the central idea in the doctrine expounded by Lord Krishna in the Gita. Sharada perfectly believed this; her moods were switching between tolerance as "mother earth" and dangerous as "mother Kali".
When God created this entire universe; he performed slow theatre plays; however HE realised it is time to end his skit and had started moving the "fast forward" button and one need not wait for another "birth" to redeem the present or earlier birth.
Sharada’s state of mind is something of "A KLAIBYAM" (means the mental attitude of one who is neither masculine enough to feel a passionate courage and daring, nor womanly enough to feel the soft emotions of hesitation and despair) "a grief" "a coward" "an idealistic" "shattered mental equilibrium" "pity" "hysterical" - various neurotic diseases called the "Arjuna Disease" which resonates to "Krishna Cure".
In the Mahabharata, Arjuna argues to Krishna and finally in the end he says "it is better for me to "die" unarmed than kill my own kinsmen and have no pleasure of winning the Kingdom". Philosophically "wretched are those who act for results"; now take a look: Pandavas and Kauravas played the game to "win", however, not aware of Shakuni's cunningness. So they played for a result "to win"; when one says wretched are those who act for results, meaning people in their desired prompted activities directly incurring new vasanas and never will be liberated.
Here is the parallel: what are desires to Sharada?
Love or Love making: an overrated, painful experience. Why man and woman perform an act that pains them - "yes the result is a child"; so anybody performing an act not looking forward for a result are not wretched. And this is when the definition changes and conveniently defined as "making love" for what again?
Today Sharada, at this point is relieved because there was a result, and it rings clearly to her that Anirudh confided and performed an action of love and not sex.
Child: Sharada committed sin.
Has Sharada incurred new vasanas? No.
But, Sharada has committed sin. God gave her a chance knowing that she was brave; however, she just wanted to restore a promise, a promise which was never made between two people. It was faith of one she restored. When a man thinks of objects, attachment comes, from attachment comes desires, from desires comes anger, from anger delusion, from delusion "loss of memory", then "destruction of discrimination" and finally he perishes.
Sharada is not perfect; she is perished from a moral sense. And her dharma says to restore dignity.
