3. Be Thou God
You are God
O man, your True Self is within you not without You. are yourself a living God. Just keep yourself in discipline, and then whatever you wish, will happen,
Entire Responsibility is Yours
Are you looking for some god of destiny? Can anybody or any power outside yourself decide and determine your destiny? Can somebody else rewrite the book of your life ?' You stand upon your feet and you walk upon your feet, and so you alone can reach your destination. As you will, so will you be. Heaven and hell are both, within you. In metaphysical terms, noble thoughts make heaven and mean thoughts make hell within you.
Soul is God
According to Jain philosophy, soul is different from both: the body and the senses. It is different from the mind and heart also. Whatever it is, it is certainly beyond this mould of clay, your body. Being born it is unborn, being subjected: to death, it is immortal.
