Friends day 3rd November 2017 marked end of year's four month's Chaturmas. Here is the coverage of last useful lecture of Gurudeo.
"Brothers, day after tomorrow, we will be leaving this place for next another destination as guided by Mahveerbhagwan after completing four months stay at one place. To avoid deep bondage, this is a very essential duty. As a follower of Bhagwan monks have to follow it.
Three full moon days carry great importance spiritually for all of Jain. They are in brief are as follow. They are worth to be noted.---.
1-Falgun ( Holi ) Sudhi full moon day (Poornima)-Chaturmas is being declared on this auspicious day. Generally in March of year.
2-Aashad Sudhi full moon day-- Chaturmas is being started,
3-Kartika Sudhi full moon day--Chaturmas ends.
In all those four months you covered much knowledge of Jainism. Now the coming 8 months is time to implement the learning. Here I share with you the difference between two major terms. First being Dharma and second one is Punya. Often we mistook the later for the former. Such mistake often leads the task of cleaning soul difficult and unfinished ,so knowing the difference is most important for all.
1-Dharma-The ways adopted to live life which prevents next birth of soul in worst or bad place is Dharma. (Hindi-Jise dharan karnese Aatma Durgati me Nahi jata, wah Dharma hai.) There is no scope for any sin while doing Dharma. It acts as a floater which prohibits the sinking of soul in deep sea of sins. It is applicable for all living soul
Dharma requires self and soul involvement in all religious activities.
The only purpose of Dharma is to cut bad Karmas of soul termed as "Nirjara" The components of Dharma are Navkarmantra, Samaik, Pratikaman, Sanwar. Poshad. Pachhkhans .Swadhya,Dhyan and
keeping fast, following non violence and other 11 Vratas, spreading and teaching Jainism and attending monks or Sadhus in Upashray.
If one can become monk after taking Diksha, it is the best option of Dharma. However it is too difficult to follow without determination
Dharma can take the soul to ultimate aim of salvation. It does not require money but self engagement is necessary. The action must be backed by intentions to cut Karmas. Then only it can bring desired effects. Please note Dharma always protects the one who practices it unconditionally and with pure intentions. It makes our faith stronger.
2-Punya----- Punya is doing good things for others. It can involve charity, donation. serving parents, offering aid to needy one etc..
Punya do not take you to salvation. It can provide only better and favorable circumstances of all types. It is like a ship bringing you to beach from sea travel, To reach home one has to leave the ship and get down from it. Similarly one has to nullify all Punya before he gets salvation. As a reward for all good deeds forming Punya one gets birth in heaven or higher class mankind.
There is a danger in going to heaven without Jainism knowledge. Such souls start enjoying the life at heaven to fullest. As a results more life cycles are being framed. Current knowledge of Jainism and faith last for next 2/3 births. So Jainism knowledge is a must.
Anyone can get engage in Punya with good intentions, time, efforts,
willingness and money. Thus building temples or hospital without desire for name or fame may fetch Punya but certainly it can not be Dharma. Moreover if any smallest sin is being committed at such places one has to share the results. Reducing dependency on others to minimum, keeps balance of Punya intact for further carry forward.
I hope you will definitely note the difference between two. Now please see that you engage yourself in maximum Dharma",Gurudeo concluded. We stood up to offer him respect and left venue.
