Dear Members, Today's speaking tree artilce in TIMES speaks about some Jain Philosophy by Dhanpal Solanki Jain and we should get something from this and I feel it should be connected to ADVAITA.
Here is the Link:https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/toi-edit-page/mahavirs-core-message-is-live-and-let-live/
Mahavir Jayanti(14/4/22) marks the birthday anniversary of the 24th Jain Tirthankar whose core message is ‘Live and let live’. Mahavir renounced his royal life and worldly relationships to seek samayika – equanimous state of mind, and lead an Ethical way of life that would help him evolve to higher consciousness.I am fore fascinated to his core message and wants to connect adivata how it helps to lead the Ethical way of life. It also makes to avoid the Grabbing technology that you want this, that & everything.
It can practiced by increasing the Tolerance levels. Tolerance doesn't mean that you for get your life targets. Revenge is not always the first choice of the Adwatists. One should be fully aware of the things happening around us which some times makes the enemies do their self mistakes so that they themselves fall in their own digged wells.
Tolerance doesn't mean that you are a coward, For the time being you can be, Just like the lord krishna what he did in gokul and convays the message to assess the up comming situation and Do the Duty wilfully without any bias or attachments which makes the Ethical way of life.
Jainism gave to the world six concepts for life, such as: Asi, sword of defence, warfare; Masi, ink, arts, culture, writing and education; Krishi, representing settled agricultural way of life; Vidya, schooling, training and knowledge; Vanijya, trade and commerce, business; and Shilp, art, skill-work, handicraft.
A fivefold mantra that is recited in Jainism offers obeisance not to God, but to arihants, perfect beings; siddhas, liberated souls; acharyas, masters; upadhayayas, teachers; and sadhus, seekers. Instead of waiting for some divine interventions, the individual seeker is encouraged to walk on the path of spiritual growth through his own effort, with the help of mantra-chanting.
Ultiamately the the Mantra chanting or Japa can only make the Kunadalini active and rise to see it reaches the head. No other approach can do this job.
Today is Vamana Dwadasi. The Dwarf form of Lord vishnu convays the message that you can give any thing to any one, but the not the physical body, It can only help any one to cross samsara and makes the advaitic path of life which leads to Liberation.
