Friends, let me share a beautiful lecture of Gurudeo. It was given on occasion of "Pachkhawani" for a young girl for 8 day Upvaas during Paryushan." Devanupriya, today I feel very happy and proud for this little girl. At the age of 15 year to dare and do fast for 8 day is a great achievement. This is wonder of two powerful words being "Karemi Bhante".A Jain keeping in his heart "Arihant Bhagwan" and takes a
particular vow to go for a sacrifice. Meaning of " Karemi Bhante" is "Bhagwan- I intend to do such and such--Pachkhan making you as a witness. In Jainism from a small Tap like Samaik, Navkarshi to big Diksha is being performed with these two words. Just imagine how these small 2 words do wonders for a Jain devotee giving them inner strength. To control mind and all five organs is too difficult for all of us to understand unless one tries it. From kids to elders going for fast as Tap is a very effective tool to cut layers of negative Karmas. On the other hand to decide and to take Diksha to become a Sadhu or Jain monk needs tremendous courage. Only light souls can do it. To describe the difficult path of " Sadhu-Jeevan" devotees must read chapter 9/33 of Bhagwati Sutra titled as "Jamali Charitra".Parents of Jamalikumar to prevent him from taking Diksha explain difficulties of life of a Jain monk. They describe the path more difficult than the following examples. Eating sand, digesting iron balls, walking on a sharp weapon, Facing the Ganga river and swimming across a ocean. Even in "Antagarhsutra"6/15 Atimutakkumar chapter it is covered. With only two words of Karemi Bhante a soul distracts himself from the domestic world disconnecting his ties with family and wealth. He never know the next destination, where to sleep and what will be his food. He begins his long journey of salvation with help of Jinwani.Devanupriya without a deep faith in teachings of Mahaveer Swami,
