Since Gurudeo has informed subject of next day and it was related to Dhyan, I could not miss the opportunity, so here is the brief coverage of said lecture for readers.Dhyan is a tool helping to look into soul.
"Brothers yesterday we have studied types of meditation. Though at present Shukladyan is not possible, still it is very interesting to see how first Siddha of our time has gained it. The noble soul who got Moksha first time in our time is Maru -Devi Mata, the mother of our first Thirthankar Bhagwan Rishabhdeo or Aadinath Bhagwan swami. Rishabhadeo Bhagwan is even today respectfully remembered and is worshiped by all devotees as founder of this noble Jain religion.
Rishabhdeo Bhagwan got complete knowledge and faith termed as (Kewal-Dyan and Kewal-Darshan) first. But Marudevimata got the salvation first, with power by Shukla-Dyan. Let us see the details of this powerful tool of mind from the beginning of this related event .
Near the end of third cycle out of current six cycles Chakra ( Aaras ), Bhagwan Rishabhdeo took birth in Ayodhya or Eshwaquebhumi. King Nabhiraja and Marudevi mata were his parents. He got married to Sumangala and Sunanda and became father of 102 children's. Bharat, Brami, Bahubali and Sundari are prominent among them all.
After his crowning as King- the wish fulfilling trees (Kalpavriksha)
started to get diminishing. As a result for daily living the king has to taught crafts, farming, trade to people of his kingdom. After fulfilling duties of king ,he decided to leave domestic life and become a Jain Monk to gain salvation by taking Diksha .He told his plans at home.
He was very dear to his mother and masses. They tried to persuade him to change his intentions with full efforts. But he remained firm on what he has decided. Great souls possess a unique determination.
With tears in eyes and heavy heart Marudevimata bid farewell to her beloved son saying "Mhane Chod Chalya Lalji Ab Biji Mata Mat Kijoji" ( It means since you are leaving own mother, please see that anymore you do not need other mother to take rebirth next time. Let this birth be your last birth and end those vicious circles of lives and deaths.). Bhagwan took Diksha and became a Jain monk or Sadhu.
With his rigorous efforts he got Kewaldyan and Kewaldarshan after 1000 years of Diksha. Subsequently- He happened to visit his birth city now known as Vinitanagari. The present King Bharat informed his grandma and people of kingdom about arrival of Bhagwan. The joy of mother knew no bound. She hurriedly got ready and went to meet her beloved son ,riding on an elephant with thousands of people gathered in a very long procession. Their 1000 year's wait is coming to an end. Mother was waiting to meet her most dear and loving son.
When Bhagwan came within her eye sight, Mata looked at his face continuously without closing her eyelids. Her ears were too eager to listen to a single word of her beloved son in her welcome after such a long gap. Bhagwan Rishabhdeo knowingly ignored Moradevi Mata. Bhagwan was meant to be the reason for her salvation. Bhagwan now has crossed feeling of love, affection or hate known as "Vitragi"
With his complete knowledge Bhagwan knew his mother's future. In his knowledge Bhagwan fully knew that her soul is pure and fit for early salvation. but her attachment, love and affection toward her son Rishabhdeo is forming hard layers of Mohniya (attachment) Karmas with her soul ,The same burden was acting as hindrance for her early liberalization. Unless she get freed from such a layers, salvation was impossible. So Bhagwan made her to think total fallacy of human relationships by adopting such unexpected and strange behavior.
Mother Marudevi Mata looking in vain at face of Bhagwan, But with His constant ignoring her, she landed into deep thinking process. She pacified her mind that soul comes alone and goes alone. All this we believe he is my son, he is my spouse all is temporary and limited to a single life. Only soul is ours and forever. Soon entered into Shukla Dyan and got liberated within fraction of time while sitting on same
elephant. Thus she became first Siddha of this Kalchakra .Her state of pure mind showered "Bhav-Dikha" and ultimate Moksha to her.
As a rule principally any soul cannot get salvation in domestic dress of ordinary human being and without becoming monk. But with her powerful" Shukladyan" Marudevimata achieved it exceptionally as Gruhasth-Linga Siddha with Bhava-Diksha. A really great miracle.
Her thinking line and process of Shukladyan and salvation will be covered some other day in two sessions. Details seeker can refer the "Thirthankar Charitya-Part 1" for more details. Some Jain branches do not approve salvation in female gender, I will not comment on it but if Mallinathji is female Thirthankar then there should not be any restrictions for others ,I feel Gurudeo tried to avoid the controversy.
However truth is what Kewali knows" Gurudeo concluded. I left the venue bowing down to this great mother of our time Marudevi Mata.
