Bhagwaan Mahaveer in the eyes of a poet
It is good to forget, it is better to forgive Mahaveer has taught us, 'live O' man, and let live' Mahaveer was human - a great soul, but we turned him into Bhagwaan (God):
we should be practicing his principles in our lives, but we positioned them skillfully in the scriptures. we should be installing his spirit in the temples of our hearts, but we ceremoniously installed his marble idols in stony temples his life is venerable, estimable and worth imbibing in practice, but we remain imprisoned in our rituals of prayer and worship of him.
