NOBLE ASPIRATION
VIII
Acharya Shri Haribhadra Soori's sublime aspiration was that his endeavours must create in other jivas an awareness of the right objective of life and that other jivas must attain the virtues of amity, felicity and serenity. If all attain that spiritual awareness, they would endeavour to achieve spiritual elevation; otherwise, they would remain in a state of spiritual stupor. If one's spiritual endeavours do not inspire others to carry out similar spiritual endeavours, they would be futile.
We shall give here an account of the life of Haribhadrasoori, the author of Dharma Bindu. How did he become a great sadhak and how did he attain such a sublime level of spiritual perfection? What kind of contemplations impelled him to attain that perfection? How sublime was his mental state? Know this and understand this only then will you develop faith in him; only then will you take interest in his grantha and only then will yov entertain the desire to hear discourses.
HARIBHADRA BHATTA :
Haribhadra Bhatta was very haughty and arrogant, This very arrogance led him to enlightenment.
Though a man may have many great qualities, if he has one weakness or flaw, it can cause his ruin. In the same manner, if a man has many vices but if he has one virtue, it can redeem him and help him to achieve spiritual progress. Even a single virtue will save us from a disaster.
