________________ INTRODUCTION A01 - Jain Prayers Raga, dvesha, ajnäna e, mukhya karma-ni grantha, Thäya nivrutti jeha-thi, te ja mokshano pantha. Attachment, hatred, and ignorance are the three principal reasons of the bondage of karma to the soul. The path by which stoppage of karma occurs is the path of liberation. 08 Reflection on True Teacher (Sadguru) By reciting the following sutras we respect our true teacher and his/her qualities. जेस्वरूपसमज्याविना, पाम्योदुःखअनंत; समजाव्युतेपदनम्, श्रीसद्गुरूभगवंत. Je svaroop samajyä vinä, pämyo dukha anant; Samajävyu te pad namu, shri sadguru bhagavant. I bow to the feet of the Holy Teacher, who explained the true nature of the Soul; without its understanding, I suffered infinite misery. आत्मज्ञानसमदर्शिता, विचरेउदयप्रयोग; अपूर्ववाणीपरमश्रुत, सद्गुरूलक्षणयोग्य. ätma-jnän samadarshitä, vichare uday-prayog apurv väni param-shrut, sadguru lakshan yogya. The admirable qualities of the Holy Teacher are self-realization, equanimity, compassion, pious speech, and the knowledge of the highest scriptures. He lives worldly life without any attachment or aversion. देहछतांजेनीदशा, वर्तेदेहातीत; तेज्ञानीनाचरणमा, होवंदनअगणित. Deh chhatä jeni dashä, varte dehätit; Te gnäninä сharanmä, ho vandan aganit. I often bow to the feet of the Holy Teacher who lives in a human body, but his actions are beyond all attachments to the body and other worldly relations. 09 Divine Gratitude Prayer अज्ञानतिमिरान्धानं, ज्ञानाञ्जनशलाकया। नेत्रंउन्मीलितंयेन, तस्मैश्रीगुरवेनमः।। योगशास्त्र - आचार्यहेम्चंद्रसुरि Ajñanatimirandhānas, jñānāñjana shalakayal Netraṁ unmīlitas yena, tasmai shri gurave namah || Yogshästra by Hemchandrächärya The darkness of ignorance was blinding my vision. A healing paste (the medicine of true Knowledge) has been applied. Now my inner eyes are open. To the Master who helped me, who removed the layers of ignorance and enabled me to see rightly, I humbly offer my appreciation and gratitude. Compendium of Jainism - 2015 Page 21 of 398
