________________ I will not do a santharo by fasting, but I will cremate selfishness, affection and relations... this is truly santharo! The cremation of selfishness is santharo! The cremation of desires is santharo! The cremation of relations is santharo! The cremation of aspirations is santharo! "Take suggestions from all, but follow the command of only one!" Listen to the words of all, but surrender at the feet of only one! Permission should be taken from only one person -Gurudev! A Panchmahavratdhari (one who has taken five vows according to Jain philosophy) is called a saint! There can be many ascetics, but only one Guru. For whom do we recite the third Namotthunam? It is for our religious Guru. Listen to all... try to understand all... and accept what is good! The Uvvaisutra elicits the following example: Ambad Sanyasi starts his journey, in search of truth, with his seven hundred disciples. He gained religious knowledge from Parmatma Mahavir. It is said in the Aagam, = 93
