Gurudeo started the lecture" My brothers and sisters ,so far we have
witnessed so many Chaturmas. Now really the time has come to ask oneself if he is using the period for cleaning the soul or just
removing the dust on it. Human race is loving money so much which is beyond the words. He starts looking for money to meet personal
necessary expenses. Then gradually it reaches to stages for comfort,
security and accumulation for next seven generations. Even after all
that he needs money to put his name in list of first hundred wealthy
personalities of world. If the person happens to be a Jain he may
has desire to do some kind of religious activities. He does little
and left balance for tomorrow. No one knows if he will see the sun rays of tomorrow or not ? Disturbing but it is a fact of current life.
In this connection I can share story from Ramayana with you. It is
related to Ravan. Expect Sitaji's kidnap episode, Ravan was very
intellectual person. On war land ,while he was breathing his last
moments, Shriram sent Laxman to have his advice to live life.
Ravan told never to postpone good things in life. He is about to
leave the world with 3 unfinished task with him. They are to build
staircase from earth to sky, to close doors of hell and to replace sea
water with milk. No doubt Ravan was very much able to achieve all
of those desires with his ability, power and wisdom.
So friends use maximum of this period for purification of soul in
period of four months. Whatever will you do will accompany you.
Bhagwan has prescribed so many tools to cut Karmas-fast, Samaik,
Pratikamn,Gurudarshan, Sanwar.Poshadh and attending Jinawani.
If one is unable to do it due to time constraint. One can go for Pachkkhan known as "Khandh". This can be the minimum Vrata.
They are four-not eating vegetables and Sachit, not drinking plain water and Bramaacharya. Khandh means shoulder. On death, body needs 4 shoulders. Similarly soul needs those 4 shoulders-Khandh.
Hope you all will do best and maximum utilization of this Parva".
Gurudeo concluded. I Wish all readers best opportunity in this Parv
period to cut Karmas and advance on salvation path.
