12 Reflections - 12 Bhavana - 1
ANYATVA BHAVANA
SEPARATENESS
HEGE
Anitya Bhavana -
Impermanence of the world. Nothing in the Universe has permanence
even though the whole Universe is
constant. Spiritual values are worth striving for as they offer ultimate freedom.
Sansaar BhavanaNo permanent relationship in universe. The soul transmigrates from one life to another in four Gatis-human, animal, hellish, and heavenly. The soul must
achieve ultimate freedom from it.
Anyatva Bhavana-Separateness One's own soul is separate from any other. At the time of death, soul leaves the physical body behind. The soul therefore should not
develop attachments to worldly objects.
NEVITABILITY OF
THIS DEATH
अशीच भावना
Asharan Bhavana - No one provides protection. The soul is own refuge and to achieve enlightenment one should take refuge to five best, Arihanta, Siddha, Aacharya,
Upadhyaya and Sadhus.
Ekatva Bhavna-Solitude of the soul.
The soul is solitaire and lonely in existence. It assumes birth alone, and departs alone. It is responsible for its
own karmas- good or bad.
Ashuchi Bhavana
Impureness of the body. The composition of the body reveals that it is
impure, only soul is pure. The body will become non existent, but the soul is eternal. Emotional attachment to the body is needless.
