happiness is a poor labourer; and the man who ignores the worldly and the other-worldly happiness and desires to become a paramatma, the supremo soul is a hero. The Jain dharmashastra teaches that the individual should desire to become a supreme soul.
If heroism lies in getting angry with those that harm us, then anger itself is the greatest cause of harm.
अपकारिषु कोपश्चेत् कोपे कोपः कथं न ते ?
Apakarishu Kopascheth Kope Kopah Katham na tle?
If you are angry with those that cause harm to you why are you not angry with anger? Anger causes harm to us. That is our greatest enemy.
Spiritual heroisın results from innate rulture; and culture appears in us on account of proper education.
Quality has disappeared from the present-day education, and it paralyses politeness and sense. This is the reason why nowadays, we do not see great men like Swami Vivekananda and Virchand Gandhi who went abroad and spread the message of our culture and enhanced its glory.
