To mark the completion of current Chaturmaas on 25/11/2015, three days farewell speeches of devotees is being organized by city forum. I found one request and answer to it by Gurudeo, a must to be shared with my readers. I am sharing herewith the said coverage for readers.
The speaker in emotional tone said " Sir, you have not left any stone upturned to educate us for marching the path of salvation .While you leave the city, please express what minimum you want us to start as a beginners".Gurudeo with his unmatched usual smile told which are his expectations from devotees in his absenteeism from Sthanks.
"Brothers and Sisters, it was nice to witness your love for Jainism for entire period of four months. But as per order of Bhagwan a monk cannot exceed the limit of stay for current session. The limit expires on coming full moon day, I have to take your leave. I am certainly leaving you with unique treasure of Jainism teachings of Bhagwan.
We all are fortunate to have Jainism and it's teachings. Majority of all teachings in universe can cover up-to the existence of heaven and hell. But it is only Jainism which introduce salvation concept.
A soul is capable of attaining salvation and there by, he need not to take birth after death is a unique theory of Jainism. This is the only way to end human sufferings. No doubt the path is much more difficult but not impossible. In fact there is no short cut to the road starting from Nigod to Siddhasheela. Unless one starts. one cannot reach- hence I share with you minimum start up for getting Moksha.
Very few like mother of Rishabhadeo Bhagwan-Moradevimata are fortunate to get salvation in short time. But for majority of Bhavi souls, it is a Herculean task ,where one has to lost one self.
You have the basic intentions of salvation. That is the most essential part of whole process. With domestic liabilities, busy schedules and so on one may not be able to fully act for the path. Nevertheless note down following basic steps to start walking on salvation path.
1. Remember Navkarmantra by heart. Bowing to good virtues of five Panchparmesti will offer you noble and pure start.
2. Remember nature of 18 sins and 9 good deeds. Can be noted down in a paper or diary for reference with meaning so as to avoid them.
With these two basic material spare minimum 5 minutes time for a silent conversation with pray to Lord Mahaveer. This meditation must be in a most relaxed and closed eyes posture.
" Swamiji your path is the only truth, I totally agree with it. I accept my weakness to give up entire 18 sins as specified by you.
I regret it and admit that I have made mistakes. Please grant me wisdom to overcome my inability to avoid sins. Also grant me strength to engage in good deeds in best of my ability.
Note this process will build your determination of salvation and warn your inner voice against constant engagement in sins.
With such minimum time start .sooner you can have strength to follow the entire path with passage of time.
Subsequently, you can list down learning -nine Tatvas, Samaik and Pratikaman and Swadhay as time permits. Soon you will realize what you missed. Then you can be fit to walk on salvation path .I
further add that the road is difficult but not beyond reach. Countless
souls attained salvation. if we overcome our weakness we too can
achieve it. Bye, next meeting of ours's time will decide. Let us plan
to meet again at Siddhasheela at last" Gurudeo concluded advice.
