(14) Since the memory of the past does not remain, and since there is a need for reflection to know the form of some emotions, and in order to increase the power of contemplation, the Vitarag-Krit-Vitarag Shastra is a powerful and helpful tool. - Shrimad Rajchandra, Patrank 694 (755)
**Udggraha** - The method of extracting the essence of the scriptures. This includes the act of initiation. It is the knowledge-based pure action performed for becoming eligible for the scriptures, for self-purification. It has the ultimate noble purpose of reverently knowing and worshipping the principles. But those who consider its sufficiency only in external pomp and action, forget its original desired purpose, and it becomes like "the snake is gone, but the stick remains!" "The noise and commotion continue, but the path to liberation remains far away" (Shri Yashovijayji) - such a tragic situation arises!
**Prakash** - The principle that was revealed to the father of light, should be revealed, shown, and made manifest to other deserving inquisitive, liberated souls, living beings. If a being has strong destruction-pacification, good understanding, and is humbly studying from a higher perspective, then he should reveal its meaning through analysis, etc., and both the speaker and the listener will benefit, and both self and others will be benefited. * The speaker will benefit whether the listener benefits or not; the revelation of the meaning of this scripture is the reason for its ultimate benefit.
**Swadhyay** - There are four types of this, including reading, etc. -
(1) **Vachana** - To obtain humility, purity, and knowledge, we should read the sutras and principles from a guru or a virtuous person who knows the essence of the sutras and principles. This is called Vachana-alamban. (2) **Pruchchhana** - To gain new knowledge, to guide us on the path of the Jineshwar Bhagwan, to remove doubts, and to examine the middle ground of others' teachings, we should ask questions to the guru, etc., with appropriate humility. This is called Pruchchhana. (3) **Paravartana** - To keep in mind the meaning of the sutras spoken by the Jinas, we should repeatedly contemplate the meaning, with pure intention and pure meaning of the sutras. This is called Paravartana-alamban. (4) **Dharmakatha** - With the same emotions as the Vitarag Bhagwan, we should adopt, understand, and especially determine those emotions, without doubt, suspicion, or hesitation, and with the intention of purity, we should express those emotions in the assembly. This will make the listeners and those who hear become devotees of the Bhagwan's commands. This is called Dharmakatha-alamban. - Shri Moksha Mala, Path 75
* "May there be religion, may there be prosperity, may there be the sound of the three-fold drum, may there be the sound of the three-fold drum, may there be the sound of the three-fold drum!" - Shri Umaswati Maharaj
