________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir "We can get out of any dilemma by means of Syadvad. We can find a way out of every complexity. In Syadvad a problem is approached from all points of view. It depends on an amalgamation of all the points of view. By means of Syadvad we can keep off conflicts and find solutions to our problems. Any austerity can attain perfection only in silence. It encourages deep thoughtfulness. Silence enables us to exercise a control over ourselves. Therefore, we should be brief in our utterances. Brevity is the soul of wit. The energy that we get by drinking one litre of milk is lost in the utterance of a single word. Silence keeps off conflicts; and brings peace of mind. Silence gives us the strength contemplations. to carry out spiritual "Deliverance in the samsar". By means of silence, we can attain deliverance even while in the samsar. We should try to be silent whenever we can. Silence has miraculous effects. Silence adds strength to our Mantras. We should think before speaking, and should realize the implication of our words Silence gives us the opportunity to reflect and think. Tolstoy said, "The life of a man is a battle - field'. Human life is a battle-field. There is no peace there. By means of Sadhana we can keep off agitations and attain mental peace. Where there is anguish, there is agitation. The world abounds in ideological differences and conflicts; and the ego asserts itself in the worldly life. Where egoism asserts itself, the samsar entangles people in its endless snares. 122 For Private And Personal Use Only
