We attach immense importance to any selection in life. Specially if it is admission of our kids to school or college we become extra careful in such selection .As the final result will shaping future of our loved kid. We make comparative chart listing all possible positive and the negative points such as quality of knowledge imparted by teachers, their conduct, location. past history of merit lists, university attached campus career opportunities, track record of past students and fees.
Unfortunately- we do not take like care for selecting Religion, God showing the path and Teacher or Guru interpreting Dharma. One thing I want to clear in this blog is that here I am not advocating any Religion. Because faith of everyone is almost important to me and I am the last person to cause harm to anybody. Generally- we follow the religious beliefs of ancestors and there is little scope for change.
One need not change basic religion but just be open to introspect it. observe good features if any with others and to bring it into self life. I have heard one good quality of King of forest i.e. lion. He has habit
of looking back and move forward. Blind faith can harm your march to salvation. Just check your following with three tests. Whether path chosen by you to know God and truth is meeting following three test.
1-Sudeo ( correct God )--- If his preaching give equality of all living things and is free from love and hate towards all living souls-----?.
2-Sudharma ( correct Religion )- If it is showing path to salvation and is advocating correct ways for souls to attain it at earliest---?.
3-Suguru ( correct guide)- If he practices by self his own teachings ?
The reason to check it arise because getting knowledge from basic religious books is comparatively easy than self practice. Is Guru free from material attraction of money and other prohibited things like woman's company, vehicle, fan, mobile etc.? We may with affection for Jain religion worship him for his white dress but person within 
such clothes may not be able to give up domestic connections. If he behaves equally with rich and poor followers and walking on correct path as strictly prescribed by Bhagwan ?. There is separate a code of conduct for ordinary person and monk by Mahaveerswami. He has not given any liberty to a person becoming monk by taking Diksha. His monk followers must follow basic five principles without change
1-Sudeo ( correct God )--- If his preaching give equality of all living things and is free from love and hate towards all living souls-----?.
2-Sudharma ( correct Religion )- If it is showing path to salvation and is advocating correct ways for souls to attain it at earliest---?.
3-Suguru ( correct guide)- If he practices by self his own teachings ?
There is no use of advocating any particular religion because as it is most sensitive issue and everybody is attached to it with his share of good deeds,. But since it involves ultimate freeing of soul one must review the path undertaken in form of Sudharma and Sugurudeo.One must not get his salvation late by a wrong selection. Be careful
