Bhagavan Mahävira
for wealth.
(Bhagavati Aradhand, 862) 43. On the aggravation of one's greed, a person fails to dis
tinguish between what should be done and what should not be done. He is a daredevil who cannot commit any offence even at the cost of his own life.
(Bhagavati Aradhanā, 857) 44. By practising celibacy one can fulfill all other vows
chastity, tapas (penance), vinaya (humility), saṁyama (self-restraint), forgiveness, self-protection and detachment.
Praśnavyäkarana, 9/3) 15. Knowing that pleasing sound, beauty, fragrance, plea
sant taste and soothing touch are transitory transformations of matter, the celibate should not be enamoured of them.
(Daśavalkālika, 8/58) 6. The soul is the Brahman. Brabmacarya is therefore
nothing but spiritual conduct of the ascetic concerning the soul, who has snapped out of relationship with alien body.
(Bhagavati Aradhanā, 877) 7. An amorous person, failing to achieve his desired
objects, becomes frantic and even ready to commit suicide bv any means.
(Bhagavati Ārādhana, 809) 3. The sun scorches only during the day, but cupid schor
ches in the day as well as in the night. One can protect oneself from the sun, but cannot from cupid.
(Bhagavati Aradhana) . The more you get, the more you want. The greed in
creases with the gain. What could be accomplished by two māšas (grams) of gold could not be done by ten millions
(Uttaradhyayang, 8/17)
