of everyone, our atma (soul) can become com. pletely happy too.
Be delighted at the sight of the virtuous.
Be desirous of allaying the suffering of the anhappy.
- Inculcate the spirit of equanimity towards the low, the unrighteous or the sinful. Do not hate them. Pursuade them if they are amenable otherwise be indifferent.
Learn to be charitable by giving even a little from whatever little you have. Do not forget the duty of charity (dana dharma). Try to uplift the poor and the afflicted. Observe the best moral standards in your conduct, in other words make your character an ideal one. Practise austerities to the best of your abilities .and lead a life of the pure and noble thinking.
This is the principal message of the Jain Religion. If this is imbibed and practised in life, then only, can it be said that this rare human existence was justified. It is extremely difficult to get this human existence again and again. Therefore shake off idleness and indolence, instil and practise religion in your life and thereby enjoy the endless and unobstructed happiness of the final beatitude.
