The supreme reverence and respect for the Bhavacharyas, etc., has been stated by Shri Haribhadrasuri. Therefore, what kind of extraordinary, detached, and calm state of being should be the self-state and the state of qualities of the Bhagwan Acharyas, etc., who have been given a glorious place in the Panch Parameshthis? A discerning seeker should carefully examine this with wisdom and understanding. He should perform pure service and devotion towards the Bhavacharyas, etc., who are like awakened Jinas, who are the embodiment of Yoga, and in whom the feeling of self-knowledge is manifested. This is the best seed.
"The self-knower is called a Shraman, others are material beings.
The one who illuminates the object in the past, is the treasure of bliss, the companion of the soul." - Shri Anandghanaji.
Constant devotion is also the best seed. Writing, worship, charity, listening, publication, and self-study of the scriptures are the young seeds. The knowers have left behind a priceless legacy of knowledge for us. How much is this world indebted to the person who removes the illusion of the world and enriches it with the wealth of the ultimate goal? How much are we indebted? How can we repay this debt of the ultimate goal? This is a matter of duty. "There is no one who is not a debtor." Similarly, the state of the wealth of the ultimate goal in the form of knowledge is the same. Either it is given away, accumulated, or it is destroyed. Only one who is a student of knowledge can give the gift of knowledge, only then the flow of knowledge continues. It can be achieved by enjoying the spiritual nectar of knowledge with relish and reaping the desired bliss. If that doesn't happen, then only the third state remains. Therefore, we should enjoy the legacy of the knower with utmost respect and honor. As the Vedic religionists say, we can repay the debt towards the living beings and the knowers only through continuous self-study. Therefore, to repay this debt, we should use the wonderful treasure of knowledge of the supremely benevolent knowers for the benefit of the self and the world, and spread the influence of the ultimate scriptures generously. In other words, we should constantly and regularly perform the continuous knowledge-sacrifice through self-study, and instill the essence of the scriptures in the soul. Only those who have such a soul, who are like diamonds, will be able to open the treasure of knowledge with the key of wisdom, and gradually spread it in the world. When the rich and the wise come together in this noble work, when the river of knowledge of the wise merges with the river of wealth of the rich, and creates the confluence of Saraswati, then by immersing oneself in this triveni sangam, the world will become pure. Then, the world will resound with the victory of the words of the knower, and the virtuous souls who have benefited from this seed will also be victorious. - This understanding is revealed here.
Thus, the scripture-makers emphasize devotion above all. Devotion to the Lord, ...
