[Seventh Uddeshak] [393 One should not go but should send a message of apology with another monk who is going, but the monk should go to the place and apologize. / The reason for this separate rule should be understood as stated in the previous sutra, that the Sadhvi's going is dependent on others and the Sadhu's going alone is also possible. If the area is nearby, the Sadhvi should also go there with other Sadhvis and apologize. / The rule stated in the sutra is with respect to a distant area. It is explained in the commentary that if there is a war of kings, famine, etc. in the middle areas, then the monk should also apologize if he is staying in a very distant area. Apology is so important in religious life that if one does not feel apologetic and dies in such a state, then he becomes a Viradhak. / It is of two types, based on substance and feeling - (1) If there is a feeling of anger or resentment towards someone, then say directly to him - "I forgive you and I am happy with you." If someone is angry due to someone's mistake, then say to him - 'I made a mistake, please forgive me, I will not behave like this again'. (2) From feeling - make the heart completely pure with peace, simplicity and humility. Apologizing and asking for forgiveness with such behavior and with purity of feelings and purity of heart is the complete process of apology. / If it is not possible due to circumstances, then according to Brih. U. 1 Su. 34, one can also achieve worship by calming oneself completely, but if there is no peace and purity in the heart, then even after external rituals like Sanlekhana, 15 days of Santhara and apology, worship cannot be achieved, this is clear from the description of Abhicikumar in Bhagavati Sutra. The law of study for Nirgranth-Nirgranthis in difficult times 13. No Kappa Nigganthanam Viigithe Kale Sajjhayam Karetae. 14. Kappae Nigganthoonam Viigithe Kale Sajjhayam Karetae Nigganthnisaae / 13. It is not appropriate for Nirgranths to study (the study of Kalik Agam in the study period of Utkalik Agam) in difficult times. 14. It is appropriate for Nirgranths to study in difficult times under the protection of a Nirgranth. / Discussion - The time in which the study of Agams is prohibited is called Vyatikrisht Kal for those Agams. Sadhu-Sadhvi should not recite the original text of Agam at such a time! Those times are mentioned in many ways in Nisith Uddeshak 19.
