In seventh Shatak of Bhagwati Sutra Mahaveer Bhagwan while replying to a query of Gautamswami informed him, that any soul is building next birth based on his conduct during current life. Thus a soul which has built his next birth in hell has conducted his current life accordingly for this particular award .One can refer Aagam sutra.
Similarly in twelfth Shatak of Bhagwati Mahaveer Bhagwan told Jayantishrawika ( She attained salvation ) that soul gets heavier with conduct marked with 18 sins. Retirement from such sins, make the soul lighter bringing him close to salvation. Both guidance suggest the importance of conduct. Let us bring positive conduct changes.
Thus it has been made very clear by Bhagwan that with correct true knowledge faith is purified. With clear and correct faith, conduct or action is to be improved otherwise there is no use of such knowledge and faith. Good conduct marked by Jinwani can help for salvation.
With this basic concept one has to introspect one self. Whether we are same in temple, Sthnak or in other holy place and after coming to outside--?. Do we use mask or dual personality in actual life?
One has to find the answer for it. I have seen so many Shrawak once they leave such holy places they immediately back to their normal nature dominated by greed and anger. True religion of Jainism is not a matter of few hours in such holy places. One has to base his entire life style on principles of Jainism. Double standard must be avoided.
If in outer world you are adopting wrong and unethical practices for survival and success-you may gain for material things but is building seeds of sorrows.Everybody hates sorrow and wants to run far away from it but few are trying to eliminate basic roots of sorrows that is retirement from eighteen sinsand Kashay as per Bhagwan Mahaveer.
One my friend told me that he can not give up food of fishes since, he is from coastal area. Another one told me that he is feeding his dogs non-vegetarian food since it can assure a cruel attitude required for safety. I failed to understand the logic behind no care for sins !.
Thus one can give so many excuses for his conduct, anger since human beings are best advocates for own mistakes but a deeper insight into Jainism will tell you that Karma theory has very sharp sensitive censors and any misdeed is impossible to escape from it. One has to face results sooner or later. Karma never misses address.
The topic reminds me a story told by Guru. In ancient India there was a tradition of Gurukul .Parents used to send their children for learning moral values and other useful knowledge by learned Guru.
On completion on teachings Guru put a black dot on fingers of two students and asked them to fix it some where smartly. He put one
condition that nobody shall notice either of them. Within half hour first student came back, Guru inquired with him the fate of dot. The student told he walked for some time outside the school and rubbed the dot in own head so that color matched with hair and took care that no one could see him. He was sure his smartness will be winning
The second student came back within two hours with dot still on his finger. On inquiry ,he told Guru that sorry I could not do the allotted task since I am unable to find such place- where nobody watching
me. Whenever I go ,two eyes of my inner conscience is always watching me. Guru hugged him with pride and told yes you are the chap I was looking for my entire life. Thus if you make note of your inner soul you can avoid much sins. Leave aside all commercial gain
Conduct can be classified into two class for simple understanding. First one is outer conduct. It is too simple. If you are dealing with all living things as expected by you for yourself .It ensures retirement from 18 sins. Try to lead simple life without mask. Second one is inner conduct done for purification of accumulated misdeeds.
It is comparatively difficult, it requires religious activities such as fast(Tap),reading holy books (Swadhay).Samaik and Pratikaman. It
can be done with guidance from Suguru and knowledge of Jainism,
Our conduct at large or minute, bowing seeds of suffering even done in most smarter ways. Afterwards one has to face the music. If not ready for such eventuality, then please adopt path shown by Pujya
Bhagwan Mahaveer. Live and Let live and not harming others attitude can be best policy. It ensures most purified conduct.
