________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir 84 heart has only love and affection in it. गरु कुंभार सिख कुम्न है, . गड़-गढ़ का? खोट। अन्दर हाथ सहार दै ऊपर मारे चोट॥ Guru kumbar sik kumb hai Gad gad kadai khot Andar hath sahar dai Upar mare chot The teacher is like a potter and the disciple is like a pot. The potter strikes the pot with one hand to remove the unnecessary things like stones and gives support to it with the other hand. The mother beats her son only with affection in her heart. In the same manner, the teacher also acts. The matter is different in the case of a false teacher. Sensible people would keep away from false teachers. A false teacher exploits the superstitious beliefs of his disciples to fulfil his selfish ends. Once, an educated but poor young man was in search of a wife. A rich man agreed to give his daughter to him on the condition that he should become a convert to his religion. The young man thought that religion lay in conduct and that a change of religion would not require change of conduct and that no religion would oppose right conduct. So, he gave his consent to change his religion. For Private And Personal Use Only
