**Assembly Vision:** The importance of self-knowledge, the destruction of the land of passions.
Without violence, how can one desire pure nature? Without desire, how can your essence manifest? Without contemplation, how can you bring it into your state? Without experiencing its taste, how can you attain it? Without devotion, there is no liberation. Now, who is the devotee? Without form, there is no one. Now, who is the person? Through the yoga of true virtue, you have become form. We are equal to the divine, we have spoken of the Dharma. Therefore, your body, due to many virtues, is now the object of devotion, the great fearsome one. Peace-Victory-Wisdom-Disciple, tell the future generations! Meditate on the Lord's body, become one.
- Shri Rupavijayji.
"The meditation that is the same as the form, that is knowledge and conduct; by that, all sins go away, the meditator becomes the form of the object now." - Shri Yashovijayji.
This all-knowing Supreme Being, in whom the state of perfect peace, the immersion in the bliss of liberation, and the non-attached state are embodied, is also as beneficial for meditation as the Jinapratimā, which is the establishment of his form. The Jin and the Jinapratimā are both the same in terms of cause, as the scriptures say. Therefore, this established form of the Jinapratimā is like the Jin, and the oneness with it increases the manifestation of the qualities of the self's nature. And seeing this wonderful form of the embodied Lord, it is amazing that the noble people, the wise, desire the formless state! "The established Jin is the same in terms of cause, that is the word of the scriptures."
"The Jinapratimā is like the Jin, the sutras say." The oneness with the Jin, which is the same in essence, is the manifestation of the qualities of the self's nature. - Shri Devchandraji.
"Seeing this wonderful form, the wise desire the formless state; you have lost yourself, know this, O Dev! Remembering and worshipping it, the reader does good." - Shri Yashovijayji.
Similarly, the forms of the primordial gods, etc., also help the soul to attain its true form and elevate it to self-meditation. This self-meditation is the main means, because it fulfills the main purpose of the journey, it unites with the pure nature of liberation, and it leads to the yoga of seeking the pure self-essence. The meditator, the one who meditates, becomes the object of meditation, the Supreme Being. "By practicing karma yoga, the yogi who is absorbed in knowledge yoga, ascends to meditation yoga and attains liberation yoga." * "कर्मयोगं समभ्यस्य ज्ञानयोगसमाहितः । ध्यानयोगं समारुह्य मुक्तियोगं प्रपद्यते ।।"
Shri Adhyatmasar.
