F04 Stories during Bhagawän Mahävir's Life
Moral:
The pursuit and understanding of Jainism has no age limit but is rather driven by one's own true faith, understanding, and the passion to learn and practice the principles of Jainism. All of us make mistakes, which cause bad karma. Mistakes can be intentional or unintentional. It is possible that karma resulting from unintentional mistakes can be eliminated by true and sincere repentance. However, one should not intentionally make a mistake knowing that they plan to repent for it later. Such repentance will be in vain since it is not true or sincere.
