Friends the topic needs no introduction, since every one from rich to poor in India is being touched by this subject. Few listeners briefed Gurudeo the latest developments in this regard and requested him to share his views on it. Just to relieve from shock was the purpose.
His thoughts are being covered herewith to facilitate review for us.
"Jainism has no direct literature on this topic, But indirectly it's Truth and Non-possessiveness theory out of five vows-5 Mahavrata). can be related to it" Gurudeo started the discussion on above subject.
The incidence has given you lot of material to review your actions to create wealth. It is but natural to have a life time shock when one fine morning, one finds that the currency that he loved so much is of zero worth. He starts to run here and there to see if he can restore
some value to it. No doubt to law biding citizen it can not be a shock. But unfortunately the figures with Government do not show a very comfort zone between number of tax payers and people who have been apparently enjoyed wealth lavishly prima facie.
Now whatever is done cannot be undone. But one can take this is as opportunity to decide how to live life hence forth. One can decide it by asking following few related questions in this regard.
1) What is quantum of money required to live a simple life ?
2) Whether corruption or non fair practices is really worth and essentially required to earn money at loss of peace?
3) Can one curtail non essential expenses on show business like weddings, birthday, get together, anniversary parties and lavish purchases by curtailing wrong earnings. Thus both wrong tools can be stopped. Let us prefer legitimate transactions.
One has now little time to decide. Yesterday it was high value notes, today it is gold, tomorrow it can be land, flats or any other form of property owned. Similarly today it is in India tomorrow it can be in another country since money and related problems are every where in the world. So immediate review is called for urgently.
So sooner you decide to have limited earnings, limited expenditure it is better. It can relive you from- health hazards, unnecessary tensions and fear. Tension free mind can abolish need to have pill for sleeping and one can enjoy sound sleep. Now you can have spare time for good spiritual doings.You can cut negative Karma in this spare time.
Accumulation of wealth by illegitimate means and greed can cause birth in hell as evident from various holy Aagam and Jain literature.
As per Jain literature Chakraworty if not taking Diksha gets birth in hell as a rule due to highest luxurious life style. (In current era out of 12 Chakravarty 3 became Arihant Bhagwan-Shantinathji. Arahnathji and Kunthunathji rest nine took birth in hell for excess possessions.). One can check with Aagam for more details and draw conclusion.
We as monk left all material wealth, so I can not know economic pros and cons of demonetization. Neither ,I can comments on fairness or otherwise of it's modalities or methods adopted. But in spiritual term if one is following Jainism principles of truth and non possessives he will be least affected by it. Similarly youth with educational degree or professional expertise are less effected than traditional business with high value like jewelry and property.
In ordinary sense we call theft as a bad virtue then how can theft of taxes can be justified.One can go for tax planning any time instead of tax evasion. I do not wish to add salt to your wound.
Please excuse me for that.One who utilized money for good causes like charity, helping others, education and medical assistance can have a sense of relief in such adversities..
One is proved right who assured to spend percentage of good earnings for better causes. If the episode can reduce one's love and greed for wrong money, we can treat it as a cost of correct knowledge, "Gurudeo concluded with a smile.
The theory was hard to digest for us but was a bitter pill.
