This book has been dedicated to the memory of my grand mother Deewälimä
who was a symbol of sacrifice, simplicity and selfless service.
Preface
Since I wrote in Jain Darshan about the spiritual code and restraints, presenting that material in a book form was engaging my mind. Therefore, soon after publishing Sämäyik, I started editing the relevant articles. The matter so prepared was taken to India during my visit in 95-96 winter. There I had the opportunity to discuss the same with my friends Dulerai Matalia and Panachand Mehta. Both of them went through the entire material and encouraged me to publish the same. Panachandbhai was also kind enough to make some useful suggestions. As usual my colleague Dilip Shah has been helpful in presenting this material with desktop publishing software. I am indebted to all of them.
After coming back from India I undertook to make the changes as suggested. Meanwhile, I had the opportunity to get the opinion of Shri Chitrbhanuji. He too liked the material and advised me to publish it. The work was, however, delayed on account of certain factors among which my lethargy can be considered the foremost. Ultimately it is now ready and I am pleased to present the publication to the readers. I would consider my effort worthwhile, if they find it any way useful in their daily practice.
