________________ 120 AMAR VANI Service Your heart should be as pure as marble. Streams of compassion and service should constantly flow from your heart, No joy or bliss is superior to the joy of selfless service. Disease of the Mind Violence, falsehood, hatred, jealousy, pride, greed, vanity and animosity are the diseases of the mind. The Barque of Life If you do not close the holes in the barque of your life, it would sink. Has anybody ever crossed a river in a barque with holes in it? Lust, anger, pride and greed make holes in the barque of life. Close them down, and you will easily cross over the ocean of the world. Make Yourself Ideal My dear brothers, if you want your wives to as ideal as Sita, first make yourselves like Rama. Sita can live in the house of Rama, not in the house of Ravana. And my dear sisters, if you want your husbands to be as ideal as Rama, first make yourselves like Sita. Rama can be the husband of Sita alone, not of any other woman. Foundation Stone Fear is the greatest weakness of man. A fearful man has the heart of a fox, which just lives stelthily for some time and then dies. So long as there is fear in the heart of man, he cannot tread on the path of truth. He can have no sense of morality or any love for his religion, for his society Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
