मुनि-जीवन और आपत्काल ।
स्वामी समन्तभद्रके वाधारहित और शांत मुनिजीवनमें एक बार
'कठिन विपत्तिकी भी एक बड़ी भारी लहर आई है, जिसे हम आपका ' आपत्काल' कहते हैं । वह विपत्ति क्या थी और समन्तभद्रने उसे कैसे पार किया, यह सब एक बड़ा ही हृदय-द्रावक विषय है । नीचे उसीका, उनके मुनि-जीवनसहित, कुछ परिचय और विचार पाठकोंके सामने उपस्थित किया जाता है___ समन्तभद्र, अपनी मुनिचर्याके अनुसार, अहिंसा, सत्य, अस्तेय, ब्रह्मचर्य और अपरिग्रह नामके पंचमहाव्रतोंका यथेष्ट रीतिसे पालन करते थे; ईर्या भाषा-एषणादि पंचसमितियोंके परिपालनद्वारा उन्हें निरंतर पुष्ट बनाते थे, पाँचों इंद्रियोंके निग्रहमें सदा तत्पर, मनोगुप्ति आदि तीनों गुप्तियोंके पालनमें धीर और सामायिकादि षडावश्यक क्रियाओंके अनुष्ठानमें सदा सावधान रहते थे । वे पूर्ण अहिंसाव्रतका पालन करते हुए, कषायभावको लेकर किसी भी जीवको अपने मन, वचन या कायसे पीड़ा पहुँचाना नहीं चाहते थे। इस बातका सदा यत्न रखते थे कि किसी प्राणीको उनके प्रमादवश बाधा न पहुँच जाय, इसी लिये वे दिनमें मार्ग शोधकर चलते थे, चलते समय दृष्टिको इधर उधर नहीं भ्रमाते थे, रात्रिको गमनागमन नहीं करते थे, और इतने साधनसंपन्न थे कि सोते समय एकासनसे रहते थे—यह नहीं होता था कि निद्रावस्थामें एक कर्बटसे दूसरी कर्बट . बदल जाय और उसके द्वारा किसी जीव-जंतुको बाधा पहुँच जाय; वे पीछी पुस्तकादिक किसी भी वस्तुको देख भाल कर उठाते धरते थे और मलमूत्रादिक भी प्रासुक भूमि तथा बाधारहित एकान्त स्थानमें

The Muni Life and the Emergency.

In the foundationless and tranquil Muni life of Swami Samantabhadra, once a great wave of hardship came, which we call an "emergency." What was that hardship and how did Samantabhadra overcome it, is a very heart-wrenching subject. Below, some introduction and thoughts are presented before the readers, along with his Muni life. Samantabhadra, according to his Muni conduct, followed the five great vows of non-violence, truth, non-stealing, celibacy, and non-possession in the proper manner; he constantly strengthened himself by following the five samitis of walking, speech, eating, etc.; he was always eager in controlling the five senses, steadfast in following the three secrets of mind, speech, and body, and always careful in performing the six essential actions like Samayika, etc. Following the vow of complete non-violence, he did not want to cause any pain to any living being with his mind, speech, or body. He always took care that no creature was harmed by his carelessness, therefore he walked searching for the path during the day, did not let his vision wander while walking, did not travel at night, and was so resourceful that he would stay on one mat while sleeping - it did not happen that he would change from one mat to another in his sleep and harm any living being; he would pick up and put down any object like a fan, book, etc., with care, and would also dispose of excreta in a suitable place on the ground and in a secluded place without any obstacles.
