________________ Come, Let's Immortalize Life Mind is a mass of atoms. It is a personal belonging of every man. A man has, it is said, only one niind, but many prospects are hidden in that one. The mind has a society of its own. The more the contacts and imaginations, the more widespread is the society of mind. As such, mind is not our home, it is rather our territory. It has several lanes. Many rooms. It has its own garden. It has several schools. There is no dearth of friends and foes. Mind is the mirror of a person's endless imaginations and prospects. Man remains generally with a mind. The state of being without a mind is akin to a lake becoming calm. Mind is but the movable property of a person. If one experiences the state of being without mind/the state of immovability, then he has had the experience of the state beyond trance. In the non-mind state the atoms of mind do exist, but there is no conflict of the atoms. The pond remains full to the briin with water, but aerial waves are no more. They waves of thoughts and imaginations that arise with intervals are the fickleness of mind. When the aerial imaginations become obstructed, the chamber would become a vacuum; at that very moment the prospect of immortalisation of life would brighten up. Immortalisation of life is a state much more highly placed than immortalisation of body. Immortalisation of life means purification of body, purification of speech and purification of mind Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
