Happy Sermons Mr. Jai Bhagwan Jain, B.A. LL. B.
Obeisance I bow to the all knowing Lord, By total extinction of all flaws, Who shone forth into purest glow, And paved for all, salvation path. 1
God and Self God is self and self is God, Both are one like ore and Gold The difference lies in their modes, The pure is one, the other impure. 2 As ore transforms into gold, When released from foreign things, So self does evolve into God, When released from matter's strings. 3 Self is gripped by foreign matter, When tinged with egotistic trends, And gets relieved from its meshes, When filled with vision of cosmic rhythm. 4 To fill the self with cosmic rhythm, It needs a change of inner heart, Such as to shine coal in jewel, It needs a change in atomic form. 5 With broader outlook of the life, Greater and greater grows the soul, When all is compassed by the self It one and one becomes with God. 6
Path of Peace and Piety. It becomes a traveller in the summer, When treading towards the sweet home To follow a safe straightened path, Covered by cool shade of groves. 7 Similar in the walks of life, Moving towards the goal of truth, It behoves a man to firmly stick, To path of peace and good conduct. 8
