Autobiography of Gnani Purursh
Autobiography of Gnani Purursh wealth and that he never ran short of money as my partner.
[5] Principles Of My Life After Gnan: I Reconfirmed Vyavasthit In 1961 or 1962 I told everyone that I would give five hundred rupees to anyone who would come and slap me. No one did. I told them if anyone was short of money, he or she should come and slap me. Their response was, 'What would become of us if we did that?' Now who would be willing to do such a thing? So if someone were to do this to you, you should consider it your tremendous merit karma; you should consider it a big reward. Besides, that person is not holding anything back; you are only getting what you had given yourself.
What I am saying is that the order of this world is such that if you were to get a lot of shirts in say 2007(future) but you use up that quota of shirts earlier than 2007, then you will be without one that year. So use everything methodically. Do not discard anything without first getting good use out of it and until it is worn down. Such was my principle. That is why I say that it is meaningless to get rid of something if it is not worn out, especially if you can still get more use out of it. Do you not think there is an account behind all the things you use? It is an account and such an account, that it is very precise all the way down to each atom. You cannot change this. Such are the laws of vyavasthit; every account is precise all the way down to the atomic level. So do not waste anything.
This World Is Exact
to use the western toilet, the one with a flush. Now how many cans of water must I be wasting whenever I flushed the toilet? Am I concerned about wasting water because there is a shortage of it? No. Do you realize how many living souls would die needlessly in the water by colliding with each other? Why should you waste so much water when only a small amount is needed? Because I am a Gnani, I can remedy that mistake by doing pratikramans and make do for few months. Even I have to find a remedy. It does not matter whether one is a Gnani or not. Nothing will work here. This world is not governed by a disorderly rule, it is governed by the rule of the vitarags; the twenty-four tirthankaras. Do you like this law seen by the tirthankaras?
Awareness of Separation If I am running a fever and someone asks me, 'Do you have a fever?' I would tell them, 'Yes A.M. Patel has a fever, and I am aware of that.' If I were to say, 'I am sick', then it would stick to me, because you become what you say. Therefore I never say that.
This Is Something From My' Experience.
I do not travel by first class because other passengers would come to bug me. And I do not know how to twist things when I talk to them. I do not know how to say things diplomatically. If they were to ask me my address, I would give it to them and they would come visiting at home. All this is nothing but endless bother. Instead the third class passengers are just like my brothers, they are much better. When boarding or disembarking the train, if someone stepped on my feet, it would be an opportunity to examine the inner reactions and tackle the inner enemies, weakness of anger, pride, attachment, greed, that arise.
Then when this leg would hurt, I would say, 'Ambalalbhai,
I am forced to waste water here. I am a Gnani and for a Gnani there is no need to renounce or acquire. And yet I still have to waste water when I use it. Because I had injured my leg, I had
