[ Longfellow ]. " Muni Maharaja Nyayavijayaji is one of the greatest of the Jaina monks,- he is a singer sent on earth by God, with a view that he might rouse the dozing and yawning society, which has been becoming a ghost of modern civilization, to a sense of duty and religion, by pouring down in its ears the sweet and holy tunes of music from the lyre of his nonsectarian religious preaching. Jivana-Hitam is one of the lustrous jewels, presented by Muni Shree Nyayavijayaji to the public in general. The sweet Sanskrita verses, composed by Munishri himself, have an inscrutable magic about them, which secretly guides as on to the path advantage ous to our life's glorification. Who can ever Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com Page #8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (2) forgot the verses on the female-education and on Brahmacharya ? As far as my personal experience goes, these verses have left on my youthful brain a permanent and lasting impression, which the dirt of modern civilization will never be able to brush off. The westernizing modern society is right on the way to its decline. It is only through the wide circulation of such non-sectarian religious preaching, that we may ever hope for its rise, through the misty atmosphere of this western civilization, unwittingly and unwarrantedly trying to meet the East, whicb has a glorious civilization and a luminous culture of its own. Highly inspiring indeed is this little book Jivana-Hitam; and I earnestly request all young men and women of India to go through and study it sincerely and conscientiously; and to learn by heart some of the magical verses, if possible. This little book will surely serve as a pocket-dictionary not of the words of language, but of the words of the right religion. I feel myself fortunate enough, to first come in contaot, though accidently, with this Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com Page #9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (35) great and good Jaina Muni, a few days ago. He is, though great and learned, social beyond measure with all. He has an absorbent personality about him; and his ever laughing face charms both young and old, great and small. His motto in life seems to be, " Plain living and high thinking." Unfathomable indeed is his learning and marvellously inspiring indeed is his preaching, which is perfectly non-sectarian, and which embraces in full measure all religions of the world. Before now, Munishree Nyaya vijayaji had published many religious books, some among them stand on as high an altar as do the Bhagawad-Geota and the Rama-Geeta of the Hindus. I would like all persons and especially my young brethren of India to study the philosophy of this great Jaina Muni, because" Religion, if in heavenly Truth attired, Needs only to be seen to be admired." [ Cowper ). Mohanlal B. Shah, B. A., Soni Falia, Kadod, (Dist. Surat). 19 th May,'37. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com Page #10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com Page #11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Preface Everyone longs for happiness and strives his best for it. The world appears however unhappy except a very few in it. How is it that the world is miserable in spite of its efforts for happiness ? This question is very easy to be solved. It is a distinct matter that a desired object is inaccessible, or difficult to be attained, anless propor means are secured. Desired objects require proper requisites to be fulfilled. If we wish for happiness, if we desire to make ourselves really happy, we should at first realize the way to its attainment. But it must be borne in mind that only realization or perception of means will not be sufficient. Nothing can be accomplished by means of only knowledge. Knowledge should be put into practice, then and then only the desired object can be attained. If we compare our life to a vebisle, it wants indispensably the two wheels: knowledge and practice. Then its progress is possible, not otherwise. So Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com Page #12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (2) we should, in short, understand that the key of success or rise lies in the co-operation of right knowledge and right conduct. We should now know as to the above question that will-power, proper perseverance, honesty and good character-these requisites unfailingly lead to happiness. These are the only means upon which our happinesstrue happiness is dependant. This is the very truth which is a redeemer of us, in case we resort to it. It is the only way which leads us forward high and high; and takes in a regular manner to a high spirit, a higher path and the highest point, on reaching which a man becomes able enough to accomplish his supreme welfare, to reach the highest summit of spiritual elevation. These original Sanskrita verses I composed about six years ago, which were immediately published by the Jaina Yuvaka Sangha, Baroda, with the Gujarati translation. This is the second edition of that tract with the addition of the English translation. In the three parts this brochure gives Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com Page #13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ ( 3 ) such advice as may be useful to all. In the first part is explained the universality of Dharma, which deserves to be attended to, especially during the time made turbulent by the quarrels of the religionists who consider their religions to be diverse and mutually opposite. Dharma, really speaking, is one and the same in its real nature, and equally beneficial to the whole universe. The ruling-systems of the diverse rulers or kings of diverse states may be diverse; but God is not so, He is one ( from an aspectt ), then how is it that His ruling | Let me here consider awhile from the aspect of Jainisma : Though the emancipated souls endowed with infinite knowledge, infinite power and infinite bliss, who are innumerable, are all Gods, Dever-the-less they all, in the disembodied state, are 80 combined or merged mutually as do water and water or light and light. From this point of view to call them as one ( one God ), is not objectionable. If we consider the case of the embodied omniscient who are entirely equal to the disembodied souls in the manifestation of knowledge, power and purity, the souls of them are all pare and perfect alike. So, from this stand-point, if They also are called as one God, it too may be congruous. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com Page #14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (4) or advice which is called Dharma, may be diverse ? This truth, I believe, being properly understood, all religious quarrels should have to cease in the long run. In the second part, there is described in a nut-shell the importance of the first Ashrama (Brahmacharya Ashrama) which is the foundation of the remaining Ashramas, which is the source of joy of life and which is the cause of elevation worldly as well as spiritual. And in the last part, is poured inspiration for the cause of the social uplift. May the reader gain some impression from this booklet ! Nyayavijaya.
