________________ being worthy of it. After punya karma of infinite lifecycles and eternal blessings of Parmatma, one becomes qualified to wear a muhapati. We have got the community (shashan) of Parmatma after infinite life cycles. Hence, we must take utmost advantage of this golden opportunity. We must kindle our worth. When we complete our lifespan and leave this earth, what comes with us? What comes with us is knowledge (gyan), faith (darshan) and deeds (karma). In this life, if one practices religion, it is very good, but, it is best if one acquires the knowledge and understanding of the soul. What comes with us when we leave this world, character (charitra) or knowledge (gyan)? For this, there is a reference in the Aagam: Jem soi dora ma paroveli hoi to khovati nathi, Ane dora vagarni soi khovaya vagar raheti nathi! Em gyan satheno jeev sansar ma pade toi khovato nathi, Ane gyan vagarno jeev khovaya vagar reheto nathi! A needle will never get lost if it is with a thread, however, it is bound to get lost if it is without a thread. Similarly, a soul with the right knowledge will never get lost in temporary worldly pleasures, but, a soul without knowledge is bound to get lost.
