It was last day of Gurudeo's stay at our town. I made it a point to compulsorily attend it. Here goes the full cover of the lecture.
"Brothers today I wish to cover life and ways to live it. First ,I will like to hear your feeling about life. He got following 4 answers from devotees gathered in hall being briefly shared herewith.
1- Sir, life is a rainbow and bed of roses. One requires good fortune to enjoy .We can see handful people gifted with it.
2- Sir, it is just like jail, you may wish but no release. Only endless waiting. When specified time comes, one gets release.
3- Sir, it is same as onion, just pull layer after layer, nothing will be left at end. Looking back one may feel he is back to square one.
4- Sir, it is a grand dark tunnel, to pass anyhow blindly as Lord wish. Nothing is in one's hand. Only marching and marching.
With a smile Gurudeo took the conversation forward as follow.
"Friends ,very good to hear opinions from you on life based on individual perceptions. In real term life is a journey between two points, starting from birth and ending with death.
What one does between two points, gives meaning to his individual life. Hence there can be numerous meaning of life depending on personal experience either good or bad. One gives up entire wealth in "Give Pledge" mission another one gives up entire domestic life takes "Diksha" and become monk. Both such good actions gives a boost to moral of society and attach new meaning to life.While some criminals may be burden on society.
Life is so complicated, to be closed within definition of few words. The travel is marked with up, down and through tunnels .One has to keep going without complaining. That is the beauty of life. The life mystery is worth living but it needs solid foundation of Jainism.
Some times tunnels are so long and dark, one gets tired of walking. He is walking blindly, unsure of seeing light. Some inner strength and faith pushes and motivate him to complete the march smoothly.
Now in such a complex situation ,let us see what solution Jainism provides to live life. To overcome anxiety and fear generated by the
uncertainty of life, one shall have strong spiritual foundation. There are few major guiding philosophy available to human being. One have to select proper set duly tested for truth and consistency.
Then only one is better equipped to walk on the road. Just note not to loose modesty while on top and not to lack hope and confidence while passing through downside. More testing time is while facing walk in tunnel. If one has stick of Jainism faith and Karma theory to pass the tunnel in comparative easier ways.
In 30/09 chapter of Bhagwatisutra Mahaveer Bhagwan given four faith available in this world. They can be summarized as follow.
1) Kriyawadi : It believes in existence of soul and in action as per Jainism. Bhagwan advocated it. All actions must be based on the combination of correct faith and action. They are termed as "Samyagdarshti".It brings the soul earlier on path of salvation.
2) Akriyawadi : It believes in purity of heart only. No importance to good action given. They are plain and simple in their dealings.
3) Adnyanwadi : It believes in ignorance and innocence. Not knowing is better than knowing. They do not engage in arguments.
4) Vinaywadi : It believes in humility and politeness as religion only. Be good to people is the only theory they adopt.
As a fact there cannot be a smooth road in entirety, everyone one has his share of happiness and sorrows as per Karma's balance. The past cannot be undone. If one happens to follower of Jainism then at least, he can be careful for his new actions and results of it. As a result while walking on road of life he can avoid eighteen bigger sin.
Secondly he is quite sure that I am getting back what I have offered earlier, It makes him tolerant and cool. The mindset frame offers him quick healing. While this walk if one carries good virtues like simplicity, honesty, let go attitude and care, there is less fatigue, But if one carries the burden of anger, ego, greed and cheating the travel become more tiresome .Similarly never try to reply the bad
actions of others in same language. You need not to step down from levels of dignity. Mind well, Karma Theory noting all minute details
Wish you good luck for onward travel "Gurudeo concluded. We left the venue. Of course there is satisfaction in both ears and eyes.
