Our personality is being shaped by Mother, Father and Teachers to a large extent. With passage of time it gets polished with education,
experience and surroundings. Our spiritual personality is being shaped by religious holy books ,Gurudeo and noble souls of all time.
Such noble souls have attained salvation but they have left mark of their teachings forever for human race. Mahaveer Bhagwan is one of those noble souls who has shown us light and path of salvation. Bhagwan got salvation on full black day ( Kartik Amawasya) of Dipawali in 527 BCE (approx. 2541 years ago) at Pawapuri (Bihar state-India) He is the last 24th Thirthankar of this period.
Before going to school mother teaches us numbers, alphabets and other small things like how to stand up, how to walk ,how to keep safe distance from fire and other harmful things etc. Her efforts has ever lasting effect on us. Nobody has ever repaid this unique debt of her. The things she taught may be small but remains unmatched.
Similarly looking back to our spiritual development, I can not think we could ever repay the debt of Lord Mahaveer for his teachings. We all owe a huge debt to Him for his main teaching briefs here under which may result in less life cycles for his followers. Let us study it from impact angle for all devotees it can craete more respect for him.
1-His Karma theory made us to take care of all of our actions by mind, body and speech. He clarified that each action is material.
2-He established equality of all living creatures to have fair dealing from every one-human, plant animal. It ensured smooth leaving,
3-He taught to control own organs and minimize needs.
4-He established that God is not shaping human destiny-it is the work of our own Karma builted. So we learnt importance of Karma.
5-He has shown what is 18 sins ( Paap) and 09 good deeds (Punya).
6-He has shown the way to reduce cycles of life and death by correct-knowledge, faith and conduct. He explained "Nirjara".
7-He prescribed 12 Vrata and Restrictions ( Pachkhans ) for simple living. We learnt to control organs and needs while living.
8-He clarified that with out nullifying all Karmas salvation is not possible for any one. It put restrictions on vagabond life style.
9-His Jinwani through 32 Aagams make it easy how to march on path of salvation. This is lamp of ever lasting knowledge for us.
10-He prescribed how a monk shall live life after quitting domestic life. It brought disciplined life to achieve salvation in practice.
11-He placed high emphasis on Truth and non-violence.
12-He explained nature of Universe, living and non-living units through Kevaldyan. It opened doors of knowledge treasure for us.
What he has given to world is not possible to summarize but the light he spread while leaving for salvation will guide human race
for 21000 uninterrupted years from his Moksha or salvation.
I salute him hundred times for His unique gift. I also express my inability to repay his debt at least in current life. Definitely I aim to reduce his debt by spreading his message of Truth, Non-violence and Live and Let Live among interested masses. See if you can join.
