"The Jain Center of America has been carrying on pioneering work in spreading the teachings of the Arihantas and the principles of Jainism. The Jain Center upholds, supports, and propagates Ahimsa - the main principle of the Arihanta tradition.
"If any principle can save the world from destruction, it is Ahimsa. Then mankind can live as brothers in peaceful society of mutual respect and trust.
"I send my warmest blessings to all members and officers of the Jain Center of America, that they will long continue their good work in a true spirit of non-violence, non-sectarianism and brotherhood."

Gurudev Chitrabhanu
Paryushana can be literally translated as "coming together from all directions." This meaning is a symbol for growth and transformation. The purpose of life according to Jain teaching is to realize oneself, to experience wholeness, peace and reverence for life..
PARYUSHANA
We call the Festival of Paryushana the Festival of the Soul; for, when we forgive, we become one with the light of our soul. Without forgiveness, each of us is like a lamp whose inner flame cannot penetrate the fine particles of soot which smear the outer chimney; but, when we wash away these subtle grains of anger, resentment and hatred with forgiveness, then the radiant soul within shines forth its rays of joy and peace.
This teaching is not a religious dogma. It is a principle of life inherent in the nature of the soul. Anyone who strives for success in his chosen field of endeavor must learn the principles governing that field.
If you are an electrician, for example, you must be familiar with the laws of electricity; otherwise it may injure or even kill you. Just as an electrician studies the principles of the medium in which he works, so must we learn the principles of life itself.
In the past, when people were simple and illiterate, religion evolved rules for them to follow: "Thou shalt," "Thou shalt not", and the people obeyed. They were presented with the concepts of an outward reward, and they accepted without any question. But today we live in a world where even our children ask, "Why?"
This is the dawning of a new age of understanding, the truth, which was mysterious and inaccessible in the past, is now revealed to us by experienced teachers. Now we must understand the law of life so that it may become the religion which brings us closer to our own godhood.
In ignorance, people have blamed others and God for their misery and unhappiness, which were in fact their own fault, and pleaded to God to make them happy by forgiving them. This did not work, so they became unhappy.
The Arihantas showed mankind the cause of misery and anger. If we are angry we cannot think, for our thoughts become like sparks burning inside us. But if we stop to think, we see the cause of our anger. So we must take the time to calm down, to sit by ourselves and contemplate what we are really doing.
Meditating and purifying ourselves during these eight days of Paryushan we come to realize ourselves.
卐5卐5
I forgive all Souls, may they forgive me. Let my heart be free from hatred and resentment. Let my love go forth to all beings. Let the Perfect Souls witness that I truly bear no animosity toward any living being.

JAIN CENTER OF AMERICA An Historical Perspective by Dr. Narendra K. Sethi, Ph.D.
Founder - President BACKGROUND
The flourishing Jain Center of America has had a modest beginning in early 1965. Dr. D. C. Jain, Dr. M. K. Pandya, Dr. J. Sheth, Dr. S. Singhvi, Mrs. Kiran Sethi and myself were the pioneering founders of this association. In the early days, there were just a handful of Jain families residing in the area. The meetings were held in Earl Hall of Columbia University and the Meeting Hall of the Consulate General of India. A brief library of books was assembled and organized by Dr. L. C. Jain. One of the earliest non-Jains to join the Center was the late Rev. Wayne H. Steele, Retired Professor of Religion. He was later converted to a Jain at a small ceremony.
FOUNDER MEMBERS
In addition to the people mentioned above, the other regulars were Mr. D. C. Jain, K. C. Surana, A. K. Nahar, Ambassador N. P. Jain, K. R. Jain, P. Koradiya, J. Shah, and Vakani. Many new members and their families became active in the early 1970s. Meetings were held at the Consulate Hall and the audience was comprised of interested Jains from the tri-state area. Visiting Jains from India, Europe and the African Continent participated in these activities.
PURPOSE AND AIMS
The Center was originally named as JAIN CENTER OF NEW YORK and was subsequently changed to JAIN CENTER OF AMERICA, in light of its increased scope and operations. The early objectives were to disseminate the philosophy of Jainism to the people in the United States and to provide for a socioreligious forum for the local resident Jains. A corresponding unit was created in India to collaborate with the New York activities and its responsibility was assigned to the late Mr. M. C. Sethi of Indore. Many fund-raising meetings were held and early donors included Messrs. K. C. Surans, P. Luniya, and the Sethi family. Similarly, funds were collected in different cities of India. PROBLEMS AND SUCCESSES
The early difficulties were organizational. The members were few and meetings were sparsely attended. Inspite of these problems, meetings were held to celebrate Bhagwan Mahavir Jayanti, Paryushana Parva, Diwali, and an annual social event of community picnic/get-together. A newsletter was prepared and the 2500th Anniversary of Mahavir Nirwana was very gracefully celebrated.
Efforts were made to organize Jains in other areas of the U.S. Affiliate organizations were created in Detroit, Boston, and other large towns. I visited many principal Jain centers with the assistance of Dr. Bhaiji, Dr. Pandya, Dr. Duggar, and Mr. J. Shah. Dr. Lokhande was invited to visit the U.S. centers and address them about the philosophy of Jains.
Ambassador Mr. Kaul presided at one of the largest meetings organized in the history of overseas Jains in New York. Ambassador Mr. N. P. Jain also addressed dozens of our get-togethers. A brochure was prepared and over 3000 copies were distributed.
I wrote many articles in local and Indian Jain press to publicize our major achievements during this period. The New York Times carried our story in one of its editions. Gurudeva Chitrabhanu and H. H. Munishri Sushilkumarji were the pioneering Jain monks to bless the Center's multiple activities.
In view of my humble efforts, many Jain communities in India and the United States honored me and gave me civic welcome. I attribute my good fortune to the service of Jains in the U.S.
EPILOGUE Indeed, the chronicle of the Jain Center in New York is one of struggle but also one of triumph. The early years were marked by a pioneering zeal and devotion; the later years, by a sense of accomplishment and tradition. Many old scholars and Jain thinkers have since left this area, but the fragrance of their memory persists. It is my hope that the future activities of our organization will mark a new chapter in the historical annals of Jains in far-off lands.

JAIN CENTER OF AMERICA: EARLY YEARS
Dr. M. K. Pandya, M.D.
In 1977, I was delegated the duty of President of the Jain Center of America. The Center, at that time had a very active and large membership. The Executive Board and other various officiating members who assisted me included: Mr. & Mrs. Surana, Mr. Dalchand lain, Mr. A. K. Nahar, Mr. D. Hirawat, Mr. Jayendra Shah, Mr. P. Lunia, Mr. P. Shah, Mr. K. Kapadia, Mr. Dileep Sethi, Mr. Madho Jain, Mr. V. Tongya and Mrs. Asha Jain.
ACTIVITIES The Center continued to celebrate all Jain functions including Mahavir Jayanti, Divali, Paryushana Parva and social activities like the annual picnic. Increasing numbers of adults were encouraged to participate in our activities and to encourage their children to do the same.
TEMPLE From the very inception of the Center, we had plans to have our own place for worship and to celebrate all our functions and to start and organize educational activities. A temple committee was formed and soon the site for our present temple was finalized, with special thanks to Mr. Surana and Jayendra Shah. All our members contributed wholeheartedly and the executive members even gave their personal guarantee towards the mortgage payment of the temple. Necessary alterations were carried out to make our temple an ascetic place of worship, special thanks to Mr. Lakhani and Mr. Surana. Regular evening prayers and weekend Pujas were begun. An ever increasing number of members participated in all our activities ever since.
UNIFIED JAINS The Jain Center of America, with the first Jain temple in the United States, is a unique example of a united Jain community-far away from its minor differences of sects and languages. Whereas we respect each individual's background in our celebrations and other activities—we are all Jains first, having the same God and same Namokar Mantra. My congratulations to the Jain Community in obtaining this ever desired goal.
BLESSINGS We have also been very fortunate to have the continued blessing and guidance of Muni Sri Sushil Kumarji and Gurudev Chitrabhanu and various Jain saints and scholars from India.
Let us all continue to contribute in expanding our religious and social activities, so that our future generations can be left with a heritage which we all can be proud of.
My sincere congratulations to the present Executive Board and other elected members for publishing the souvenir and broadening our activities.
Jai Jinendra

JAIN CENTER OF AMERICA – GROWING UP
Anand Nahar
I am very pleased to know that Jain Center of America has undertaken to publish a souvenir.
Jain Center of America, which had a modest beginning in the mid sixties, has now grown to a mature organization, serving the community by preserving and propagating the rich heritage of Jain philosophy in the western world.
At this occasion my thoughts go back to many individuals whose foresight, hard work and dedication towards Jainism has made this organization what it is today
I am also very proud of my colleagues (Rajni Gandhi, Ashok Jain, Kirit Kapadia, Kanu Lakhani, Amul Shah, Chandrakant Shah, Jayant Shah, Jayendra Shah, Naresh Shah, Ramesh Shah) who helped me during my tenure as president in transforming this Center into a great community organization and to bring the whole community together in a true Jain faith.
I wish all my best.

Rajni Gandhi
About seventeen years have passed since the Jain Center of America was founded and three and a half years since the Temple building was purchased. But this period is very short, like the first three days of a life from birth in a person's life, who has to learn and achieve a lot of things.
Our present activities consist of once a month Snatra Puja on Sunday, once a month Parsvanath Puja, Bhakti, and Bhavna every Friday at 8:30 p.m., and, of course, every day you can come to the Temple for Darshan. Major celebrations include Mahavir Jayanti, Diwali (Mahavira Nirvana), Paryushana, and at least three big Swamivatsalya. Most of these programs are sponsored by one of you and we are very proud for your generous support. Jains in New York City have increased tenfold in the past ten years. In spite of this, we have very few Life Members. Our goal is to have every Jain family a Life Member. I urge everyone to try and make some commitments that they will enlist three, four, or five new Life Members. Please give your wholehearted support in this respect. To make it more convenient we are stretching the life membership payment to three yearly installments rather than paying it in one year. Remember, a Life Membership donation is tax deductible. We want to form a strong Jain society. The more members we have, the faster we will grow and have a strong society.
In this fast-moving world, everyone is too busy and does not get time to think about religion and one's soul. Everyone knows this Stavan: Hu Tane Bhaju Chhu Raviware Baki Kyan Chhe Samay Prabhu Mare. By the time we realize it, it is too late to do anything for ourselves, family members, and children. Many of us have a habit of not leaving the house before praying, but we do not always see whether or not our children follow that practice. "The family that prays together stays together." Only through our religion will we be able to maintain our culture and customs, and we will be able to pass them on to our children.
I suggest to all my fellow members to make a habit of visiting the Temple at least once a week with all the family members. This can be done whenever you are going to a social function, shopping, or otherwise. This will give us a chance to pray together in the nice and peaceful Temple environment.
The community here has adopted one religion as Jain and has not thought about Swetamber, Digamber, or Sthanakvasi. To further strengthen that idea we plan to perform a monthly Pooja to incorporate everyone's vidhis. So I urge you to give your support in balancing the vidhis. We have come across this discussion many times. Let us start doing some concrete work. In the next generation there should be only one religion "Jain".
Glancing through this book you will see in the Donor's List a great number of our Jain brothers and sisters whose generous donations made this Tirthasthan a living reality. We are planning to have Shikharbandhi Mandir-that is our goal. This will be accomplished if all of us donate generously. We are collecting donations and pledges which will enable us to plan the future of our Temple. With a strength of 1000 plus Jain family, we should think bigger and better for the next generation's benefits. Only a thousand dollar donation by each family a year, and we can have more than $3 million in a short three-year period. With plenty of land we can have a Temple, Dharmsala, religious school, and other socio-religious activities. Our community does not have to worry about small things like dangers to their cars, lack of parking spaces, or big things like promoting religious education or a hall for weddings and other social functions. Remember, divided we are all losers. The easiest thing this country gives is money, so morally and religiously donate your resources. Also, whenever social occasions are celebrated such as birthdays, weddings, etc., remember your Temple. After all, little, little things add up to a lot.
Some of our dream projects that I want to share with you are:

JAIN CENTER OF AMERICA
PRESENT AND FUTURE
Directory of Jains: Boston group did a remarkable job a few years ago by publishing a Jain directory. We would like to publish a similar directory on a smaller scale with only New York area Jain families. With a recent compilation of all addresses, this dream will become a reality in the near future with your less-than-ten minutes of time donation to fill out and mail the survey form.
Jain Pathsala: We all, at different ages, worry about different things. When our kids are in teens we worry about education; when they are in twenties we worry about marriage and so on. We must bring our children together at an early age. Let us have a small beginning by dedicating every Sunday morning for this worthy education. Volunteers must come forward who have religious and education background. We will provide the necessary resources.
卐5卐5
Yoga and Meditation Classes: Learning process never ends. Running water never smells. Education is not for our children only. We must shape up ourselves too. Our body will rust too. While our children are attending religious school we should do our Sunday yoga and meditation.

Jain Library: The Executive Council has agreed to spend some of our funds to purchase religious books. Modern libraries don't have only books; we must get slides, tapes, films, and video which, incidentally, would make learning easier for our children. We need a reliable and responsible person to be our librarian. Charitable Activities: Most of us here are fortunate and blessed with resources and do not have to worry about day-to-day necessities. It is our moral obligation to guide and support our less fortunate brothers and sisters here, while situation in India is quite different. We must pledge to send books, clothes, foods, etc. I would go even further and establish a scholarship fund for education and a medical fund for hospitals. Invitation to Jain Scholars: You will notice in this brochure a list of Jain scholars in India. It would be refreshing to have one or two of them visit us once a year. This kind of activity requires substantial resources and we should coordinate our activities with the Federation of Jain Associations in North America (JAINA). Newsletter: Lack of communication breeds suspicion and it becomes a fertile ground for rumors. Through a newsletter we can enjoy the good things in life and share tragic events and sympathy. I would like to see it being published every three months. We need four pledges each worth $1000. Committees: The purpose of these committees is to concentrate on specific activities and carry out the work in a well organized manner. We need volunteers for: 1. Building Committee (proposed temple) 2. Construction Committee 3. Constitution Committee 4. Food Committee 5. Fund Raising Committee 6. Maintenance Committee 7. Membership Committee
8. Program Committee We have brains to think and dream, but we need two hands with the rest of the body to make our dreams a reality. So, please, next time when you do strain your brain with thoughts and dreams, let your hands lend a support to make them a reality.
This is our first attempt to publish a souvenir. We intend to continue it every year. In addition to providing an annual report it will carry a specific message. This issue is a religious one where we have tried to sprinkle it with religious sayings.
The next one may be social in which we will have articles to help us in different phases of life, starting with babies' names; helpful hints for new mothers; what to look for when selecting nursery, kindergarten, montessore, private high schools, trade schools, colleges, and universities; how to prepare a good resume and land a good job; what you need for a wedding ceremony, what is said during the wedding ceremony, and what it means; why you need a will and how to get it prepared; what is cremation, why is it done, and how to find a good funeral home; inclusion of calendar with Panchang and Choghadia. The purpose of this basic outline is to solicit articles from all of you. Also, a souvenir becomes a souvenir in a true sense only if we get unrestricted advertisements.
The one after that could be on financial matters: why money is a necessary evil; what is interest rate; how to use a mortgage table and how it works; what is amortization and depreciation; stocks, bonds, and how not to get suffocated in an endless maze; how to read a financial statement and what to look for; how to buy a house--a check list; how to buy and run a successful business, real estate syndication-what it is and how it works; tax shelterswhat they are, and do they shelter you or promoters; how to buy gold, diamonds, etc.-should you rely on faith and trust of the seller. A wealth of information to make you wealthy or at least keep you away from becoming poor.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the past presidents and past and present committee members and volunteers. My special thanks to Jayendra Shah ana Seventi Sheth for their substantial contribution for our Temple and humanitarian work for the blood bank, respectively. Both of them provided excellent material for publication in this souvenir. Unfortunately, time and space limitations forced us to exclude them along with many other articles. I also appreciate the effort that was put forth by many people for the cultural program and Swamivatsalya during the Mahavir Jayanti Celebration. This function was attended by more than one thousand people and was a great success. I hope that with more and more people coming forward and volunteering their precious time and expertise, our future pograms will be even more successful
The last thing I want to tell you about is very near and dear to all of us is upcoming Paryushan. Be a JAIN in the real sense, at least for a week in this year, by observing the following (in order of priority): 1. No consumption of meat by any member of the family. 2. No consumption of alcohol by any member of the family 3. Do not eat green vegetables. 4. Make an effort to spend at least two hours a day on religious activities. Donate generously-physically and financially.

I, from the bottom of my heart, pray for forgiveness and forbearance to you and all others for all actions committed knowingly or unknowingly in hurting the feelings by evil thoughts, words, or deeds through motives selfish or infatuated.
While planning for the Mahavir Jayanti Celebration, many Executive Council members expressed their interest in publishing a souvenir before Paryushan. Thoughts, I have been told, were in everybody's mind for many years, however reality was always elusive. With the property, according to reliable sources, worth maybe half a million dollars, many past and present workers and volunteers wanted to bring out facts, records, and history to you as a matter of record before memory fails and printed words disappear with papers they are written on. Desires were admirable, however, expectations were difficult to fulfill because of time limitations.
The real work started around the middle of June. In no time we had enough advertisements to enable us to have a 100 page souvenir. In fact, we had more advertisements, more articles, more write-ups, and more material than we could handle in a short time.
Most of the information included in the souvenir was in an exceptionally difficult format to work with. Therefore, even after hard work and great care we may have made a few errors. We would appreciate your cooperation in bringing these errors to our attention for future corrections & amplifications.
As part of this project we have compiled (although space limitations precluded having them all in the souvenir):
- Donors, life members, and regular members lists
- Financial statements
- Religious calendar
Religious places
- Sharda Pujan Vidhi
- Short religious stories
- Constitution
- Board of Directors
- History of Jain Center of America
- Temple activities
- First International Jain Conference, October 1981
- Second Jain Convention of North America, May 1983
The new administration, in office since the early part of this year, has completed or is in the process of completing many projects. The next important one is to increase the seating capacity on the main floor of our Temple and to have a central air conditioning system installed. We expect to complete both of these projects before Paryushan.
Jain Education Intemational
A regular monthly meeting and hard work by everyone has created a refreshing environment. The Center continues to maintain its day-to-day religious activities of Darshan, Bhavna, etc. Many Snatra Pujas and Swamivatsalya have been successfully performed. In fact, the Center has such a well organized talent that it can perform Snatra Puja, Pancha Kalyanak Puja, Bhavna at any place in the U.S.A. or Canada within a short notice for any occasion. Do not hesitate to contact the Temple for additional information.
Being one of the gateway cities to the U.S.A., the Center continues to fulfill its obligation to invite and sponsor Jain scholars.
Our center continues to support and provide financial, as well as, religious help to other Jain. organizations in the Country.

Ask nothing; want nothing in return. Give what you have to give; it will come back to you-but do not think of that now. It will come back multiplied-a thousand-fold-but the attention must not be on that. You have the power to give. Give, and there it ends.

There is no higher virtue than charity. The lowest man is he whose hands draw in receiving; and he is the highest man whose hands go out in giving. The hand was made to give always. Give the last bit of bread you have, even if you are starving. You will be free in a moment if you starve yourself to death by giving to another. Immediately, you will be perfect, you will become God.

THE IMMORTAL SONG
1.
May the sacred stream of amity flow forever in my heart May the universe prosper, such is my cherished desire.
2.
May my heart sing with ecstasy at the sight of the virtuous, And may my life be an offering at their feet.
3.
May my heart bleed at the sight of the wretched, the cruel, the irreligious, And my tears of compassion flow from my eyes.
May I always be there to show the path to the pathless wanderers of life, Yet if they should not hearken to me, May I bide in patience.
5.
May the spirit of goodwill enter all our hearts, May we all sing in chorus the immortal song of human concord.

People believing in God as a creator look upon Jainism as Atheistic, but it can not be called so. Jainism can not deny the existence of God but there is a difference between the description of God of others and the description given in the religious books of the Jains'. The main difference is that the books of other faiths treat God as creator and a ruler but it is not so in Jainism. God in Jainism is all knowing and perfectly happy soul with infinite capacity for activities and a pure and perfect soul with any material body, a being that can not perish or become degenerate.

The fool is not warned by seeing distress overtake others, he acts like the man who is seated on the top of a tree in the midst of a burning forest, sees deers and other living beings perish, but does not think that the same fate is soon to overtake him also.

It is a general belief that God has created this universe because such a wonderful creation is not possible by ordinary man. There can be a number of querries if we accept God as creator. Why did God create the universe? Where was he living when the universe was in existence? Has he created for a play? Not one but a number of questions will arise. God created the world, then who created the God? Again there will be a question who is God? Who is the creator of God? Who is the creator of creator of God? Thus, there will be unending questions.

Secondly, if God created the world, then why did God create the strange world where there are happiness and sorrow, poverty and richness, prince or pauper, blind and deaf. As a matter of fact, all are equal in eyes of God. Then what was his purpose in creating this inequality? So one has to admit that the world existed from the time eternal. The souls are also eternal. Because of Karma, there is birth and death, joy and sorrow. The belief of one creator does not stand.

Really, if one has to look to the welfare of this past world, the worries will be endless. With all this trouble and ample worries how will God be happy? It is omnipotent why he created one happy and equal to each other. If an agent has created one cannot depend on capricious whims of deity. Man has to struggle for self-realization.

The best way is to be free from God altogether. Really there is nothing superior to the law of Karma. The sufferings are from the basis of Karma. God is creator is not necessarily true to the universe. We do not seek God outside, not in temples. In this sense, Jain system of philosophy is atheistic one. Because it enjoins the follower to worship God, there is dedication to God. The devotees worship by body and mind. There is meditation of Parmatma. The existence of individual soul is considered as God. Each soul is perfected to God.

There is worship to the Tirthankars who are enlightened and perfect souls. They led the path of spiritual advancement and therefore, they are worshiped but not because they are Gods. They remind us of the path they have trodden. They cannot show favors. They show, they achieved perfection by their meditation, such souls become Vitarag.

Hence, Jainism is both theistic and Atheistic. On the point of worship to deities and Thirthankars, it is Atheistic religion. But it does deny in God-head there is quality of creating and ruling other things and by making punishments or giving rewards.

In Jainism the personality of Bahubali or the 24 great Tirthankars reveal to us what Jainism conveys. In fact, Jainism is so called because it is established by JINA the VICTOR. It is just to make an effort to raise an ordinary man to Godhood and there are ways also to reach the perfection. Steady faith, right perception, perfect knowledge and above all a spotless life are the ways to achieve perfection. True faith, true knowledge and true conduct are the three important jewels in Jainism. Jainism believes in self-realization. The is no God outside giving happiness or sorrows, but every one practising the tenets of Religions, is fit to achieve perfection of Godhood and hence there are innumerable Gods. The message of Lord Mahavir given 2500 centuaries before is spread on all parts. India through the Srakas and their temples and there are glories of religious and architecture a rare contribution of Jainism.

Even before paper and printing came into use, people of India used the palm-leaf for writing. The Jin Bhadra Suri Gyan Bhandar, attached to Jain Temple in Jaisalmer, possesses some of the oldest Indian manuscripts, which date back to the early third century. There are 1126 palm-leaf manuscripts in the Bhandar, and the best preserved is one meter in length.

The five principles forwarded by Lord Mahavir are not to kill, not to speak lie, not to steal, not to be corrupt and not to be engrossed in sexual pleasures and not to possess more than required.

These are the ways for a happy and peaceful life. Ahimsa is the highest religion and if one practices it seriously in life the other four are automatically checked. Ahimsa in broader sense is a force within and without. It is not merely absence of physical violences but mental attitude. It means renunciation of hatred.

Really the root of religion is the feeling of companion which consists of providing protection to living beings. Mere talk of Ahimsa will not help, as the name of food will not satisfy the hunger unless you eat food to appease your desire. Hence your action must be in harmony with the secret principle of Ahimsa.

It is a general conception that material things are a source of happiness. Getting of material benefits means to get the material happiness. That is why people strive for material gains. Hence, in their eyes, to achieve material things is the way to be happy. The question of happiness does not touch their brain. At heart, they consider that material life is the happy life. Hence, whenever there is discussion about the meaning of happy and rich life it is said 'Live with Love'. Work hard, produce much, have scientific and industrial developments. They talk of prosperity of nation and tell us how all will be happy. People talk of ideal. Everyone desires meals, rich clothes to put on, and a house equipped with modern aminities of life.

We do not want to discuss here, whether this will take place or not. If we say yes then all rich people will be happy. On the contrary persons at the highest pick of prosperity should be happy and peaceful but it has seen quite opposite. All are anxious and they are facing with fear and anxieties. Hence, one should think about the essence of happiness seriously. In fact without thinking of the meaning of happiness, one cannot think of the way to happiness. But there are no sincere attempts to become happy.

Some thinkers say to this extent, that there is no happiness in the material values. It is simply an imagination. People give examples to prove this, that one man had two storied building, but by his side of it there was a cottage. When he looks to the right side he becomes unhappy and he looks to the left side he becomes happy. Hence, happiness does not depend on material things. It is simply an imagination. Hence, the wise man suggest if you want to be happy you should look at the man who is less with material collection. If you fix your eyes on a man who is materially rich then you will get an experience of unhappiness. Happiness is an imagination. To be happy you will think of the people who are poor. This is not true, people feel sympathy for the persons who are sad. To imagine like this is not a good solution. By this one becomes proud of his position. This cannot be treated as happiness. Happiness does not lie on scene of cottage because that is not correct way to achieve happiness. The way to become happy is not sound. Because there is no effort to understand the correct meaning of happiness. There is also an effort to understand the meaning of happiness. Material happiness has been treated here as happiness.

It means happiness is an imagination. Now whether should we take it that happiness has got existence? Is it real or imagination? Is it, therefore, clear that sensual happiness is purely imaginative and it is far from reality. The question is whether it is a real happiness.

It is difficult to fulfill desires, as the desires are endless among creatures and the means are limited and if one desire is fulfilled and then another one crops up. Thus this stream of desires is endless and none can be satisfied. Therefore, it is certain that no new desires can be fulfilled. All desires cannot be satisfied. And hence it is difficult to fulfill all the desires and in absence of this, one can be happy at any time.

One cannot find out anything from a place where it does not exist. So there if no existence of sensual pleasure in self, how will it be possible to find out pleasure from outside. Knowledge is one of the qualities of the self and one can find out a spiritual power into the self only and not in the material. So happiness is quality latent in the self and it cannot be linked with the matter. So happiness is a part and partial of self. That is why we find man is hankering after material things with the expectation that he will get happiness. This is the cause of this suffering. Man is misdirected and hence he will definitely meet with sufferings.

Deeds, good and sinful, are chains of gold and iron. Both are hindrances to seeking salvation.
The wise man learns to detach himself from both through experience.

Learning
The object of learning through reading scriptures is to destroy vices like pride, malice, jealousy, greed and desires in general. If these remain even after learning, then there is hardly any difference between a learned man and a fool. If one wants to become truly learned, he should take care to remove these vices from his heart.
