________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir You must adopt this attitude towards all jivas in this universe. and ignoble propen Ignoble thoughts, ignoble actions sities are harmful to the soul. Those who fight against external enemies prolong their asamsar and those who fight against their internal enemies attain the status of the Arihant. You must carry out a war against your inner enemies. As long as your Aham (ego) keeps you under its sway, you cannot attain any development or progress. Egoism paralyses the soul. The first means of Dharma is the tongue or speech. If your speech is not imbued with the spirit of Dharma, the business of your life gets jeopardized. How long will you retain your egoism? It is a dreadful disease. It corrupts your speech, and your habits make you helpless. How far can you carry a dead thing of the past? You have to achieve progress on your path. You have to achieve development. So get rid of your burdens. It is not necessary that you should get inspiration from the past. Ignore the past, otherwise you will have to face conflicts. It is also foolish to travel thinking only of the future. If your present life is not pure and noble, you cannot make your future bright. Therefore, you have to think of the present and carry out endeavours. You should not dive into the past or float into the future. Swim in the present and reach the shore. 115 For Private And Personal Use Only
