A Foreword by the Author
जम्म दुक्खं जरा दुक्ख रोगाणि मरणाणि य । अहो दुक्खो हु संसारो जत्थ कीसन्ति जन्तुणो ॥
Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir
There is the sorrow caused by birth and old age; there is the sorrow caused by disease and death. How full of sorrows is this life? All beings are subjected to countless miseries!
What can deliver us from the sorrows of life? Only knowledge can. Great thinkers have given this clarion call: ऋते ज्ञानान्नमुक्ति:
(Without knowledge, there can be no salvation).
The knowledge of the physical world is not education or scholarship.
Truc knowledge or education is that which brings salvation:
सा विद्याया विमुक्तये ।
(That which brings salvation is true education).
Only he who has a knowledge of the truth is the master of the art of getting disentangled from sorrows.
