________________ incongruity, engage your heart and soul and proceed further only after destroying that dissimilarity. Even if whole life is spent on one point, but (dynamism energization) should never get defeated. If such agility continues, then, the highest result will not be impossible to achieve. No force on earth can impede the full percolation of equanimity in the internal or external life. Struggle Against Incongruity: Joy to the Mind: With trained vision and firm action, as much struggle is waged against incongruities, take it for granted, that much exaltation of the inward spirit will intensify. An inactive mind does not realize such exaltation but one who having fixed a goal with discretion becomes dynamic, and on account of this exertion he is crowned with success. It is difficult to compare his mental glee with any other pleasure. When the godness of victory kisses the head of any warrior, then his exhilaration is the highest and unparalleled. Before you, at every step, the webs of disparities lie woven, in which you not only see some of your companions get entangled and dropping, but you yourself knowingly or unknowingly may get entrapped and continue to tumbling. It should be the aim of life to continue chopping off these webs, and this alone is the path to accomplish equanimity because from wherever darkness withdraws, there it becomes indispensable for light to expand. The meaning of chopping off incongruities means, the spreading of equanimity. Jain Education International 205 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
