Story of Fasting: When an insult to a thread was very heavy

A long time ago there was a Brahmin named Sumant. She had a very gentle and pious daughter, named Sushila. When Sushila grew up, she was married to Kaundinya sage.

After marriage, when Kaundinya Rishi was going home with his wife Sushila, it was night on the way. Sushila saw that some women were worshiping on the river bank. On asking, she told that she is fasting for infinite God and this thread protects from every crisis. Sushila also learned the rules of the fast there and tied the infinite sutra on her wrist.

Due to the effect of that thread, happiness and prosperity came in the house of Kaundinya sage. There was happiness everywhere. One day Kaundinya sage’s eyes fell on the thread tied on Sushila’s wrist. He felt that this was a simple dora. In anger, he asked if this thread has tied you? And saying this, he broke the thread and threw it into the fire.

From the day that thread was insulted, their bad days started from the same day. All his wealth was over, poverty came in the house and they started to remain unhappy. When Sushila reminded him that all this happened due to insulting the infinite God, the sage realized his mistake.

He went to the forest to repent and started searching for infinite God. Even after finding a lot, when God was not found, he was disappointed and was going to give up his life. Then Lord Vishnu appeared as an old Brahmin and gave him knowledge. He said that you got grief due to your bad deeds. Now you have repentance, then go home and fast for Anant Chaturdashi for 14 years, all your sufferings will go away. Kaundinya sage did the same thing and he got all his happiness and prosperity back.

This story teaches us that we should never insult faith and faith.
