Gurudeo made entry in city for upcoming Chaturmas beginning on 16/07/2019.Herewith, I try to cover his first lecture in brief. With a
usual coolness on his face Gurudeo started the Vyakhan." Brothers
and sisters your attendance shows that you all are carrying a deep
desire for salvation. Now we have four months period to learn the
requirements for achieving Moksha. A Jain Shrawk can fall into the
category of "Balpandit" and can built next life for Deologa during
this period.Mahaveer Bhagwan made it very clear in Bhagwatisutra
chapter 01/08.To become Balpandit condition is that the Sharawak
shall take Niyam or Pachkhan. Pachkhan means a voluntary vow to
be taken to restrict eatables or consumable. It requires the complete
elimination of related desire. If due to a situation warranted, one is
giving up something it cannot be Pachkhhan. For example a patient
of diabetes gives up sweets on advice of a Doctor, it cannot fall in
the category of Pachkhan. Now we check what can be included in
such Pachkkhans. There is no hard and fast rule that this must be done. The reason is Sharwaks are allowed to follow Aagar-Dharma.
Aagar means some exceptions provided in a vow where as Sadhus
are not allowed for a single exception in Angaardharma. They have
to follow whatever is ordered by Bhagwan in Jain Aagams. Thus a
Shrawak can provide that at out station I may take dinner after the sunset. But such liberty is not permissible to monks. Pachkhan turns
a Shrawak from "Avirati " to Virati ".Virati means with Vrata / vow.
Sadhus are "Sarvavirati" and Shrawaks are "Deshvirati."(Partly,Even part Pachkhan makes a Shrawak "Balpandit" who have next birth in "Devloga" as Bhagwan Mahaveer hinted in "Bhagwati Sutra".
Navkarshi. Porshi, Ekasaan.Upvaas are examples of Pachkhans, In
all of them 14 Niyams are easy and can be tailor made to suit each
individual. In 14 Niyam, there are 14 categories of eatables and the
daily consumables. One can decide the list and take Pachkan for all
day. In Pratikaman in Path- "Daee Divpa of Jambudvipa" ,it is given
that all Shrawaks are regularly taking 14 Niyam. We will check the
related details in second half. Now I will brief you for 3 Manoratha.
Manorath means strong wish in mind. A true Jain devotee always
pray that his following three long cherished dreams must be true.The following are such "Manorath. It means mind must remember them.
1-It will be a great day when, I can give up all material possessions.
2-It will be a great day when I will become monk by taking Diksha
3-It will be a great day if I can get Santhara at my last breath day.
I will cover detail of 14 Niyam in next session" Gurudeo concluded.
