The Passion Is An Enemy Of The Soul
O brethren! The experience belongs to the present and that very is true, the past was infinite and passed away, don’t see that turning hack because due to seeing back the present lags behind and being obsessed about the past, the present pleasure also becomes grievous.
Which exists today whether that will happen tomorrow or not? And if will happen then what type of that would be? Hence, do not waste time in the anxiety of the past, future, only enjoy/utilize present living in the present then necessarily you would become “Vardhman’ (Lord Mahavir) one day.
O brethren! In case, the soul will be full of attachment then the experience of attachment would happen because the feelings of atlachmentlessness happen/occur in the absence of passion where no new Karma-bond takes place.
And the experience of pleasure-pain due to rise of Karma is not felt in the state of passionlessness. Self stability is within ourselves but the transformation of the passion and of the vibration in the soul points (caused by mind, speech & body) do not let feel its experience with pleasure and fancy.
The peace which is destroyed merely by the touch of someone that peace is not the peace of nature. But the peace, which is not disturbed, even on getting objects of sensual enjoy ments, outer means, facilities that very is the natural self-peace. Hence, the passion causes bondage and gives pain. It does not leave the thought to wreak vengeance even on the verge of death.
The birth / the present life-course changes but the succession of grief’s goes on increasing due to not changing the feeling of passion. Only the passion is the great enemy of the soul. To strike one’s own feet with the axe by own hands is the celebrity of this very passion.
The judicious being does not let the darkness of the passion step in even for a moment in the conscious courtyard of his soul. He remains vigilant, performs all his essentials skilfully. Even in the state of negligence and indolence, remains cautious like a burnt child dreads the fire. Neither
any of the high degrees of higher education of the world is needed in the path of Lord Mahavir nor the wealth, property, grandeur, position or authority, only the special degree of passion-sin, enmity needs to be taken off.
In case sometime if there is a fight with anyone, then don’t harbour it for lifelong. If by chance there happens enmity then it is very necessary that one should have some room for friendship again in future.
O brethren! The truth does not remain in the anger, greed, fear and in joking & jesting. The man who is harbouring passion is never true to his word. The soul which is the form of truth does not remain visible to him; the passion is not a sweet powder (Kasar- wheat flour roasted in ghee and mixed with sugar), there is no sweetness in it. It is. in fact, a poison, death.
You are eating it happily and are embracing the death. Live in the world like a virtuous man, an eminent personage, not like a villain. That one who takes/considers other as other by the science of discrimination and takes his own soul as his own. that very is gentleman/ virtuous man.
The one who does not involve even in the option/ alternative of own & other and considering the world like visiting dream with open eyes, remains engrossed only in conscious nature of the soul that very is an eminent person (Mahajan, i.e.. the great man). But that who always lives only with the mentality of making other matters as his own that one is Bahiratma ,i.e. follower of materialism, is villain.
Oh brothers! Why are you making yourselves fainted, unconscious collecting outer materials. Precisely ,the attachment and attachment to belonging, is sin. The doctors remain unable to give right treatment to a person who is in the slate of unconsciousness, then how the treatment of the soul, experience of the soul and stability in one’s own soul would be attained while one is harbouring attachment to belongings and passion?
