## Friend's Vision: Pure Devotion to the Lord
**Commentary**
"Jinavar Shuddha Pranama Re" - Shri Cheg॰ Sajjay
One who has conquered the internal enemies like attachment, aversion, pride, etc., is the Vitarag Jin Bhagvant, the supreme object of worship for the entire world. To have a pure, auspicious mind towards such a Jin Bhagvant, to hold inner love and devotion without even a trace of aversion or dislike, to perform devotional worship, service, and adoration with a joyful mind - this is the best seed of devotion. For example:

"Upasana Jin Charan Ni, Atishay Bhakti Sahit."
"Par Prem Pravah Khade Prabhu Se, Sab Aagam Bhed Suur Khase." - Shrimad Rajchandraji
"Rishav Jineshwar Pritam Mahara Re, Aer Na Chahun' Re Kat;
Rizayo Sahim Sang Na Parihar Re, Bhage Sadi Anant.
Chitt Prasange Re Pujan Fool Khyu?, Puja Akhadit Eh;
Kapat Rahit Thayi Atam Arpana Re, Anandghan Pad Rah." - Shri Anandghanji
"Ajit Jind Shu Pritdi, Mane Na Game Ha Bijaane Sang Ke;
Malati Fule Mohie, Kim Ese Ha Khaval Taru Bhrung Ke."
"Shri Shital Jin Letie, Kari Bhakte Chakkhun Chit Ha;
Tehasu' Keha Chhanu' Khyu, Jehne Sampya Tan Man Vitta Ha." - Shri Yashavijayji
"Priti Ananti Parthaki, Je Tade Te Jode Ae;
Param Purush Thi Ragta, Ekatvata Hai. Dakhi Gunageh....
,,
Rishav Jinu Shu' Pritdi." - Shri Devchandraji
And due to the inspiration of such a pure devotional mind, the salutations to the Jins, salutations to the virtuous, "Namo Arihantalu", "Namo Nibbal Mitraalu" - such spontaneous expressions of devotion are also indicative of devotion. And the physical acts of prostration, five-fold prostration, six-fold prostration, twelve-fold prostration, etc., which are indicative of devotional feelings, are all types of pure devotion. These are seeds of devotion because they are expressions and indications of inner devotion. These salutations, etc., are "pure" only then they are indicative of devotion. Impure ones have no place here, because they are merely a form of ordinary behavior, and they do not contribute to devotion. Thus, (1) a pure mind with auspicious devotional feelings towards the Jins, (2) salutations to them through words, (3) and pure prostrations, etc., through the body - these are the supreme, most excellent seeds of devotion. The reason for calling these the most important and excellent is that the object of this devotion, salutation, etc., is the Jin, who is the supreme, most important being in the entire universe.
