JAINISM-THE MAGNETIC POWER OF KARMAS-------!!!

The questions and answers session was in progress. Gurudeo was answering questions of Shrawaks ( devotees). One question came--We never invite Karmas,then how they can come and fix to our soul just like an invited guest---------?, a devotee asked Gurudeo.
Gurudeo smiled " It is very good question but before  knowing the answer-please try to note following basic six elements for better understanding. It explain the modus operandi of Karma doctrine.
1--Eight type of Karma Particles- ( Parmanu) exists  in universe -
Oadarik. Vekriya. Aaharak. (used to builds body and shape) Tejas,
Language,breathing,mind and Karman. Known as"Karmanvargna. "
First three particles are attracted for body as per his Gati involved. Karman particles consists of eight Karmas being-explained in 3rd.
4 Ghati ( easier to clear ) and 4 Aghati Karmas (difficult to erase).
2--Five types of Kriya (action)----Kayiki (with body),Aadhikarni (with tools.organs,weapons and possessions).Pradweshiki (love and hate),Paritapaniki (giving trouble) and Pranatipatik (killing)
3-Eight types of Karma particles- knowledge,faith,Vedniya (sufferings),Mohaniya ( love and hate).Aayu ( life term or span)
Naam,Gotra (Shape caste like) and Antaray ( prohibitory).

4-Eight components of Soul--Dravya, Kashay. Yog, Upyog(use),
knowledge ,faith ,conduct and Virya ( human power).
5-Three types of Yog (tool for action)--Mind, speech and body. Yog does the job to attract and fix Karma to soul. Kashay and it's severity involved in catching it decides period and it's severity.
6-Four types of Kashay--anger ,ego, Maya (tactics) and greed.
   The universe from bottom to top ( seventh hell to Siddhasheela) is full of  above eight types of Karman particles. The same particles as of earth are also present in Siddasheela, They are not attracted by soul of Siddhabhagwan since they do not have Yog (tools for action & Kashay (negative components of soul).
Karmas have magnetic power-they are non living and visible (not to ordinary human). Soul is living and invisible. Karman particles do not  get fixed automatically to soul but it a result of own action.

Our tiny action caused by transactions of mind, speech and body mixed with various levels of feeling attract them and got fixed to soul. Wrong faith Non-Pachhakahn .Pramad.Kashay and Ashubhyog associated with particular action decides the period of continuation of such particles with soul. However with Nirjara the period can be reduced except for Nikachit (fixed frequently) Karmas.  We have to face Nikachit Karmas as built. No changes can be made into nature.
Thus one may not invite Karmas orally but your smallest action is enough to attach them to soul. Soul carry it, till their clearance.
Now it is clear they are not invited guest but just invited by us knowingly or unknowingly. Just imagine following  common actions of human being usually undertake knowingly or otherwise in practice
1-Laughing at disability of some one.
2-Scolding subordinates.
3-Becoming sad with memories of near ones.
4-Praising beauty of opposite gender.
5-Expressing joy for taste of food, quality of construction and similar situations. All emotions also attracts Karma particles. One can blame that reacting to such instances is normal human behavior but to try to control feelings is a way taught by Jainism. One must be neutral in
all circumstances to the maximum human possibilities, Such control act as a barrier to incoming Karmas saving us from future trouble..

One may think it is ordinary reaction but mind well, you are inviting  Karmas. Now you can not say Karmas are  non invited guests" with it Gurudeo concluded answer. In a nutshell and moral story of it---
Be beware of your tiniest action if you want not to attract Karmas.

JAINISM-- KARMA-------THE REAL MASTER--------!!!.

I had been to Aurangabad to offer respect and to meet Gurudeo On the day Gurudeo was explaining  ninth and 20th chapter of  Aagam
Uttaradhyansutra titled as Namipravajya and Anathimuni-(no Nath).
( Mahanirganthiya )The chapter were related to helplessness of organs Gurudeo asked the listeners " Do they think their organs are under their full control ? Amidst  initial silence initially with deep
thought Most listeners answered positively. Gurudeo asked to rethink their answers with reference to future keeping following  various situations in mind. There was anxious waiting in hall for questions.
1-Will the hair will remain black for ever--------------?
2-Can eye can perform without spectacles for ever --?
3-Why a person struck by paralyses find it difficult to move certain part of body----?. The body is same and used by him frequently .
4-Why suddenly skin start to have white patches.----?
5-Why in later years one may have to carry on with less or teeth--?.
6-Why one may  advised to use hearing aids for proper listening---?
7-Why our legs in old age needs wooden stick for support ---------?.
Gurudeo further added that from above, it is clear that your organs will not be under control of  you or your brain for all times.
If one think he is master and organs will carry out his orders for ever is  totally false belief. Let us come out of this fallacy.
With ageing and various diseases organs tend to loose original vitality. Soul is creator of body using sperms of parents and other inputs in womb of mother. But with various comforts and
misconceptions over time, we make the creator slave of organs.
Thus we forget the creator in the process.
If you agree with it then just think how much your time ,money and energy, you spent for decorating your body and organs. Lavish bath- rooms. plenty of water for bath, high quality of soap .oil, added by
perfumes, rich dresses. sunglasses, skin lotions--------all you use to decorate body. Women usually give more attention to present them themselves. Just look at the end result. It must be a  an eye opener.
I leave to your imagination. If this is the fact you have to decide for what you shall care more ---body or soul. Gurudeo questioned.
Soul is utmost important than body. Body and organs can cheat you but soul will never deceive you. So do not make your soul slave of organs. Soul can ensure salvation for you. Don't make him slave.
If you are doing fast, you are controlling tongue, if you are deciding not to see movies you are controlling your eyes. 
Thus with various Pachkhans ( promise to self ) you can control various organs making them to work for soul.
With reading Aagaams, visiting Gurudeo, holy places. Samaik Poshadh one can make the soul strong leading to road of salvation.
If you can spare some time and observe Jain Sadhuji/Sadhviji you can know the real meaning of simple living with minimum possessions. Just decide to give minimum attention to body and organs and have focus on uplifting of soul. Gurudeo concluded.

JAINISM--GURUDEO'S MESSAGE FOR YOUTH------------!!!.

On the eve of saying good bye to 2014, I attended camp for youth organized by local Jainism group. The advice of Gurudeo is being shared herewith so that youngster can give it a decisive thought.

1--Best way of life is to take Diksha by becoming Jain monk. For it one has to leave home and domestic affairs. Many of you will not like this idea at this stage of life. For such reason let me discuss some other points with you. You can follow it remaining in home.
2--You all have struggled a lot in life to have better education and  opportunities of career. Such efforts rewarded you the current status.
3--With your life style you can decide your earnings methods,
spending and savings .I wish to share it's impact on you.
4--Always remember money attracts money. Rich class of society have so many model to attract your hard earned money. Basic needs like house, eating, conveyance, entertainment all are made available with a eye on your pocket. You are just a commodity which create
demand for their branded products. Big corporate houses and other
powerful
 class of society constantly working towards attracting your savings. With it they can meet their profit and return on investments targets. Hence you are their target class bear it in mind forever. 
5--You can have loan from bank or lenders with interest and opt for lavish apartment ,premium cars. eating at five star hotels ,branded clothes and shoes, entertainment in casino. brawl, pub, Hukkah Shoppe. drugs, race course, forward trading, cards etc. Once you exhaust your money you will be ignored. All electronic and electrical gadgets are waiting to add to your comforts at a price.

6--For five days you are working beyond your capacity to be in race at cost of your health. Such hard earned money you are spending to take care of your status and wrong beliefs of relief to body and brain. If money proves insufficient then manipulative ways are followed to meet the requirements. It makes one to adjust with our moral values.
It indirectly creates a guilty feeling in us and conscience. It is always better to opt for honest earning and spending within limit than to go  for show off with borrowed funds with aim to show higher standard.
7--Just note wishes are unlimited and no amount of money can quench the thirst unless you learned to be satisfied and happy with limited and honest sources. This can help you for ever in your life
8--If you are born with golden spoon in mouth then do not waste your wealth in building skyscrapers and forts. Please decide to act as trustee of society and try to return to it as much as possible. Mind well, good fortune is a result of past and present good deeds .
Take care not reduce such positive balance in  show off business.
After death people do not remember you for wealth left but how it was put to use during your life time. A smile on face on living one can offer you more peace than investing in non-living things.
9--Just have calculation ,how minimum money is required to have a reasonable life when most of essential things like air. sunlight and water are free. You can decide % for charity out of your income.
10--You are a free soul and can very much decide what is good for you. But  remember what is seen as good may not be so in a long run. It will carry repercussion for years to come. So do not follow others. give more weight age to needs of soul than body or prestige. In such ways you can create moral wealth .I t is more important.
At the end of session Gurudeo offered Manglik to welcome year The youngsters were seemed to be happy to discover correct way to live. How they change life, only time can tell.
