It has been explained to us by Lord Mahavira, the way to this goal is the moral way, and the moral discipline embodied in the four-fold path -GNAN, DARSHAN. CHARITRA AND TAPA. So, merge within, by practising silent meditation, bask in the sunshine of divine life. We shouly apply the oil of selfless service, wear the raiment of purity, plunge deep rather dive deep into the divine source, swim freely in the ocean of Atmic Triveni. Hoat in the Divine river of joy, tap 'the source, march direct towards the fountain head of Divine consciousness Atma (Soul) and drink the Nectar, give up all sorts of fears, cares, worries and anxieties. We should rest in the ocean of illumination. If desires and cravings try to hiss, we should destroy them by the Rod of Vivek (wisdom) and by the Sword of Vairagya (apathy) Keeping these two with us always we are sure to save the whole humanity from catastrophe.
