"If the world can follow His teaching ,there can be heaven on earth" I was listening to speaker during eight days celebration of Mahaveer Jayanti following due on 2nd April 2015.Since it sounded interesting and based on study, I continued listening carefully. The speech being summarized on following lines. For blog readers it can be interesting
The period of this great soul was B.C.527 To B.C.599. He took birth in Kundalpur with Lord Siddarth and Queen Trishalamata as parents on Chaitra Shukla Teras .He got salvation in Pawapuri on day Kartik Amayasya around age of approximate 72 years. Till his last breath he was delivering lecture on 36th chapter of Sutra " Uttardyansutra."'
He obtained special full knowledge known as 'Kevaldyan" which enable to know all things for past, present and future. It is result of his vigorous Tap and mediation. He guided mankind through it to remove their sufferings and achieve salvation following his teaching.
This great soul is being remembered even today not for his physical strength or wealth or power but for his conquering evils of soul such as love, hate, lack of true knowledge and others similar one. The three most important principle he laid down for entire mankind are
Non-violence, Anekantwad (multi opinions) and simple living based on Ahinsa, His other principles are-Truth, Non-theft, Bramacharya and Non-possession. It can be used as tools to control desires of soul. He showed the correct path to mankind with out any self interest since he is Vitraagi- ( No love or hate) who cut off Mohniya karma.
Non-violence means not to harm any living soul by mind, body and speech. Anekantwad means there can be more ways of believing and expressing the truth since human beings are not capable of knowing full truth all the time. It values all opinions to avoid rising conflicts..
It implies that we shall respect views of others though may not be exactly matching with our own perceptions. It teaches the theory of coexistence. This principle is very much needed to ensure our own existence in current boiling time as chaos depicted in image given.
If we look at the world and observe so many wars are going on the basis of faith, regions, territory with a motive to establish self superiority. We refuse to believe entire human race to be of one category. We also refuse the right of every one to live his life on his
own terms. We want every one to be molded in our own model.
What I say is the only and only truth is current wrong philosophy,
Territory disputes are apparent cause while dumping of weapons, eye on natural resources, expanding empire and ego are the hidden reasons. If we study history of any particular border over a period of 500 years, it keep changing with earth- quakes ,land sliding ,volcano ,sea-storm. cloud busting and so many other natural calamities. So many disputes can be solved with understanding but we do not like to listen the views which is different from own thinking, view and
version. That is the root cause of current unrest seen every where.
It results into non violence and disturb peace of the entire world. It is the fact that if all nations stop military weapons spending for a year entire poverty of the world can be removed, I do not think an expert is required to back this fact. The cut throat competition to stay ahead of others in form of military strength is consuming large part of earnings of hard work of human forces. It needs a urgent thought.
It may be too late when the human realizes that it can live with harmony only with path shown by Lord Mahaveera or else can continue to walk on path of self destruction with chaos and much sacrifice of number of innocent human lives on daily routine basis.
We are fortunate enough to have this immortal light spread by the great soul for the benefit of entire living ones. We can not afford to miss it even though we may follow different faiths of various branch.
At the end I congratulated the speaker for his contribution to revisit thediscover the teachings of Lord Mahaveer. Time will tell if it has made the impact or else life goes on as it is-------------!!!.
JAI JINENDRA-------!!!----------- JAI MAHAVEER------------!!!.
