It is foolish to buy the samsar in exchange for spiritual austerities.
Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir
How do people use their intelligence? They do all that they can to get out of worldly difficulties but they do not do anything to save their souls.
Do we use our intelligence for the sake of our soul? The soul is steeped in a stupor of infatuation, deception and delusion.
Have you awakened your soul?
This discourse is a 'Class'. Here discourses are delivered to you in the Chaturmas. On the day of the Jnan Panchami, will give you a test, I want to see how far my endeavours have been successful in bringing about a change in you. The test will make it clear to me.
I carry out my endeavours. 1 carry out scriptural studies. I desire success for my endeavours.
After you hear my discourses for four months, I will ask you, "How is the samsar ?".
One would say, "It is corrupt".
A second man will say, "I do not like to live in the samsar".
The third one will say, "It is very painful and it causes anguish".
The fourth one will say, "It is absolutely painful and it is full of agitations and anguish".
The fifth one will say, "It is dangerous and dreadful"'.
If all of you give such replies, I will say unto you, "If samsar is painful, corrupt and dreadful, join me on my vihar. Will you join me or not ?"
