Today's lecture by Gurudeo was very much inspiring to lead a very peaceful life, hence I thought to share it with my readers. There was a question by a devotee that why he is always surrounded by fear of death and other uncalled for bad dreams. Most of times he is being disturbed by thoughts of negative contingencies.
Gurudeo shared his views on the subject covered herewith in brief.
"Friends, We know various qualities of Mahaveerswami Bhagwan- through Aagams and books on his life. I do not elaborate it here.
His major qualities were as teacher of non-violence,forgiveness and firm believer of equality of various souls.But in my true opinion his most important lesson given to mankind was to live a fearless life. He has not only lectured this doctrine ,but showed it by his personal behavior and reaction to various events during his life.
Let us examine some of such incidents of his unique braveness--!!.
1- Bite by snake who has poison in his vision------Chandkoshik.-but he taught him with a smile forgetting own pain.
2- Fixing of nails in his ears by owner of cows in jungle.-He has not uttered a word and suffered the pain.Not given up meditation.
3- Trouble by God from heaven called Sangamdeo, to vouch for Bhagwan's qualities. Bhagwan cared for him and told him that Deo has unnecessarily increased cycles of life and death by troubling.
4-Partition with his disciples Goshalak and Jamali.
5-Most bitter attempt on his life by Goshalak - After killing and harming 2 Sadhus of Bhagwan called Sunakshtraji +Savanubhutiji .
Goshalak used Tejoleshya ( fire coming out of body ,a tool gained with Tap.). He used the same towards Bhagwan but it returned and seriously injured Goshalak.With attempt on life Bhagwan got fever.
Medicine from Rewatishrawika ( She has built Tirthankara Gotra with this charity) gave him relief. Sinhamuni brought the medical mixture termed --Bijoripaak. Rewatiji build Thirthankar Gotra.
6-Bhagwan visited country which were not religious and people troubled him by hitting stones and haunted by dogs but it all failed to change his determinations as he accepted all trouble with dignity.
7- While he was in meditation in forest under trees many animals like lion,tigers etc. troubled him.They could not create fear to him.
As explained in Granthas balance of his bad Karmas were equal to all remaining 23 Trinthakars but he never gave up.He used all the best maximum human efforts to get them cleared and getting the final destination of salvation with in a comparative little life span. These are few unique examples from his life.It can motivate us to conquer fear of death and other adversities.Just think about him.
What gave him the tremendous courage to remain calm in all situation-- How he fought all odds with smile on his face------- ? .
He could do it, since he believed in all what he has preached.
Jainism beliefs based on his teachings can give any one courage. So if you have fear, please note and introspect own self in mediation.
1-I have not stopped love for body in current life. I have more faith on money,relatives,doctors and medicines.Is it correct practice ---?.
2-I do not believe that no one can harm me expect my Karmas. Why I shall be afraid to pay off my loans of accumulated Karmas.
3-I do not believe that current life span is already being fixed in last birth and no one is able to alter it. Still I am testing each options.
4-Body is temporary while soul was there, is now and will be there for all the time to come. I heard it but failed to believe it.
5-I do not believe in life after death and believed this birth as a only birth .With this false assumption, I tried to serve my body to the maximum extent. How can I be immortal when nobody can be---?.
If you introspect you will find that your faith, actions are all in opposite directions. Now do study of Jainism. meet knowledgeable personalities and review. It can make you to accept facts of life.
Just have full faith on Lord Mahaveer's teaching and see how dramatic changes it can bring. It can certainly assist in removing all fears and anxiety. Insecurity is being generated by love for the possession of material things, try to love immortal soul and ever lasting happy state for it. Mind well fear is a creation of sick mind.
Fear kills the positive inner energy which has great healing power.
As a reward of birth as human ,one gets mind. We shall care not to misuse it otherwise we may be deprived of it in next lives. It a proven fact that mind causes more diseases than body. So remove all unwanted fears and live a simple life. Lastly I sing two lines for you It is a Gujrathi Stavan- I heard in my childhood from my Gurudeo.
