THUS SPAKE LORD MAHAVIRA
Dr BHANI RAM VERMA
As Earth is the Stand-point of all beings Peace is to the Enlightened.
Whatever thou wishest unto thyself, so unto all living beings. This is the Path of the Enlightened.
Those who say they alone are right And all the others and their ways are wrong Are out of the Way of the Blessed Ones.
I beg forgiveness from all beings
I extend forgiveness unto them all
I am the friend of all living beings
I am enemy of none whosoever.
As the ocean is the abode of all water beings so truth is the abode of all virtues.
Millions of hills of silver and gold
Can't quench the thirst of avarice. Cravings are like the boundless sky.
Jain Education International
Those who control their senses Those who master their passions Those who meditate on the Self Are the true Followers of the Path.
My self is the river Styx of Hell My self is the sword-bladed tree My self is the Wish-granting Cow My self is the Garden of Paradise.
