________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir 76 अज्ञः सुखमाराध्यः सुखतरमाराध्यते विशेषज्ञः। ज्ञानलवदुर्विदग्धम् ब्रह्मापि तं नरं न रञ्जयति॥ Ajnah sukhamaradhyah Sukhatara naradhyathe visheshajnah Jnanalavadurvidagdam Brahmapi tham naram naranjayathi It is easy to teach an ignorant person. It is easier to teach one who knows much. But even Brahma cannot teach those who have only a little knowledge but who profess to be great scholars. There is a proverb, “Empty vessels make the most sound". This idea has been well expressed by the composers of Sukthis (epigrams). " segfalt erfa: 11" Alpavidyo Mahagarvih It means that one who has little knowledge or one who does not have full knowledge is arrogant. Briefly, it can be said that, that min is a true Jain who has absolute devotion for the Lord; whose thinking is governed by Anekanth and whose actions are non-violent.
