________________ any type of misinterpretation from religious scriptures because in these scriptures everything is stated for a reason and with a particular viewpoint/ facet in mind. That is why vows and pratimas have been placed at the fifth gunasthaanaka (owing to absence or presence of self-realisation, omniscience and body; there are subjective changes in one's Soul i.e. spiritual development/progression of the Soul which is being categorised in 14 different stages, they are called gunasthaanakas). This does not mean that people at a lower level cannot accept it for practice or to save one self from grave paapa karmas. On the contrary it is very essential to accept it by everyone because those who do not wish to undergo pains then how can they indulge in binding of such a grave paapa karmas which are the root cause of the infinite pains? Meaning thereby one should never ever indulge in ratribhojana. OM SHANTI! SHANTI! SHANTI! A spiritualist should contemplate only one thing that this is the last day of my life, and if I fail to attain self-realization in this precious human life i.e. now or never, then even after infinite, infinite, infinite......... time I might not get human life, all sense organs, aarya desha (the country in which you easily get the universal truth), a noble family, real religion and sermons, etc. Rather for infinite, infinite, infinite......... time might get infinite, infinite, infinite......... pain only. That is why it is just not advisable to use this precious and rarest human life only in acquiring temporary sensual pleasures but by not wasting a single moment of this precious life it should be dedicated only and only for quickly acquiring the infinite blissfulness which is the eternal happiness of the Soul. 46 KEY TO HAPPINESS
