Poor lady was shaken by words of monk and felt sorry for what she did and prayed to God out of genuine repentance.  She prayed to God, “I feel really terrible. Please forgive me for my doing and please help me find another means of earning for living.”

Week passed by but she was not able to find any another means of earning and had to go back to prostitution. When monk saw again men going to that lady house he felt annoyed by the thought that his talks had no effect on her.

That lady shed away her sin with pure repentance and her soul was so light that she went to heaven and you soul weighed down with stones is too heavy to lift..”
