JAINISM----FIVE OPTIONS FOR A SOUL-----!!!.

Friends, last week has bought a sad news of demise of my senior  member from Jalgaon. He got a "Santhara Maran " due to old age. His passing gave me a flashback of his achievements. Religion and social in both field he contributed a lot .It reminded me Gurudeo's  lecture for molding of our soul. Here is the coverage from my diary.

"Devanupriya, you all know power of a single soul. Each and every soul has got a tremendous potential. It depends upon his upbringing, culture and religious training. Bhagwan Mahaverswami has in 12/09 chapter of Bhagwatisutra given in "Bhavya-Deoaadi of five types " description. I will explain it in popular terms . Please refer the sutra

for original meaning. We have also studied six Leshaya of a soul which express it's sentiments. We have also seen eight types of soul. A soul can be turned into " Aatma Duratma, Mahatma, Dharmatma and finally into Deva-Dhi-Deo " or Parmatma.

(Simple soul, demon, great man, saint and Finally God. First one is a simple soul living life in a routine way not doing any harm to others. Second one is a bad guy with number of versions from killer to cruel dictator. Human history is full of such examples. Only seventh hell can accommodate them. Next one soul is doing Dharma and helping others to do it within society he is Mahatma. For Mahatma the area of their horizon varies. Some are doing service of community others for broad one like state, country or world. They contribute for lifting masses' lives and acting as a sure helping hand. My departed relative was from this category. Any one facing difficulty can approach him

and get his helping hand, Arranging Chaturmas, Dikha, wedding all functions, he was first to reach. There were in all three Dikha from his own family. We all meet such 2 or 3 Mahatma in our life time. I pray for his early salvation and his soul to rest in peace for ever. The fourth one is Dharmatma. A true monk, Only engaged in spiritual guidance for devotees without involving money of any selfishness.

He make effort to get salvation for himself and guide devotee for it.  

In Bhagwatiji  Mahaveer swami used following terms and features. 1.-Bhavdrava Deo-Human or animal eligible to get birth in Deolog. 2.-Nardeo-A chakravarty or human king ruling earth with ethics..      3.-Dhrmadeo-Jain monks following exact path of Mahaveerswami.    4.-Devadhi Deo- Arihant Thirthankar Bhagwan. 

5.-Bhavdeo-Souls who are living term as any four types of Devloga. I end up the write up by a pray to his soul to bless us and guide to serve the society with all possible sources to maximum as he did.I hope readers will pick up suitable option  and carry on the mission.
