________________ 7. Self-Purification Be Thy Innerself Soul is above the plane of joy and sorrow of the world. It is not confined within the circumference of good and evil, merits and demerits, or time and space. Soul is ever-beautiful, ever-new, ever-fresh, eternal and immortal. No worldly things or bondages can ever stain or darken its glory. Outer-self, Inner-self and Supreme-self The feeling of possession and egoism with regard to the mundane things of the world point to our outer-self. The feeling of inner-purification and self-realisation is our innerself. And, the complete and perfect knowledge of the innerself is the supreme-self. Outer-self is extrovert. Innerself is introvert, but it is incomplete, The supreme-self is introvert and perfect, pure and serene. Be Thou God A philosopher propounding the philosophy of actionism says-"We want to taste the crystal of sugar, but we do not want to become the crystal itself.” It means we want to have the blessed vision of God, but we do not want to become God Himself. I do not at all agree with this philosophy of life. 73 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
