JAINISM--NATURE OF INTELLECTUAL DEATH ( "PANDITMARAN ")------------PART-2.

In continuation to immediate preceding blog we will discuss related issue herewith.So far we have seen meaning of intellectual death.
A-Reasons of disowning  possessions and Body.--For getting  answer to it one has to refer two examples told by Bhagwan Mahaveerswami to Gautamswami in Bhagwatisutra.
1-16/01-Actions involved in holding hot iron by blacksmith.
2-05/06- Actions involved for Hunter hunting deer with bow and arrow.Both examples can tell how our body can be partner in future
 
There are total five sections of any action- (Kriya)---actions viz-
body related,tools and organs related, hate.causing suffering to others and violence. Bhagwan told that the blacksmith and hunter both are fixed with all five actions. Similarly the the dead soul whose body used to make killing or action weapons are also to face sins of these actions if not disowned by departing souls.
Thus suppose one is running factory and charitable hospital and has not disowned them at death time. After his death all sins on account of running of factory and hospital will be on his account along with present operators. This is due to the fact that soul is possessive for attachment to the property is still in force. The particular fellow left without disposing ownership and is in use even by others.
On the other hand he will not be credited for good deed of charity at hospital after his death. Reason being live intentions and backing to good deeds is now not existing. So giving up possessions and body is almost necessary. It can be done by spelling out things one wish to disown by speaking a special word-  Jainism terminology-"Osirami ! Osirami "- means I give up all those things by heart. With due feeling and gesture one can also give up body  and material possessions of earlier numerous lives. Provided it is done under guidance of respective Guru.
B-Reasons of  disowning love and hate----The two qualities became part of Karman body for ever unless you disown it by doing Pratikaaman, Ninda. Garha and Aalochana  for own soul.
The various relationship and it's resultant burden can accompany
the soul in all next cycles. The liabilities needs to be settled off by heart. So better to cut it off it in present life only .It was coincidence we met them ,now say goodbye and back out from deeds.
C-Time to go for Panditmaran---Death is certain but it's time is uncertain. So on daily basis one can in Samaik can speak "Santhara path" and take conditional (Sagaarisanthara). In this case it is not applicable in case life continues. Also in mind one shall always wish for -Panditmaaran. In later age if one has inner feeling that  it seems present span seems to be running out, he can opt for it with due consultation with  family and Gurudeo or monk. In case of accident or severe injury family can decide it on behalf of victim.
D-Is it suicide form---Certainly not. As state of mind is totally different in both types.In Santhara it is hearty willingness to free soul from current body as guided by Bhagwan.It is not prompted by anger or failure in life. It is not cowardly action and running from life. It is a most brave decision to give up artificial life saving tools.
Thus Panditmaran is not a overnight decision. Mind and body needs to set them with backing of mind,brain and soul. A soul who has full faith in Bhagwan Mahaveerswmai can only dare for it. Other faith can teach you art of living but only Jainism can teach you beautiful art of death. ".Gurudep concluded. Let us dream and work to achieve it on due time.
