________________ Come, Let's Immortalize Life167 not with ‘Mar'. Whenever a person becomes unhappy, it is due to ‘Mar' but now he has become so much accustomed that he is feeling a pleasure in scratching the itches. Even if anyone calls it a pleasure, it can never be the pleasure for those who have eyes. This pleasure is sans vision. The experience of the pleasure found by scratching comes to memory again and again, and then you become ready to itch again. But just remember a little that pain, that agony, that pus and that blood which are the outcome of that itching. Why to walk on the path that is leading you towards a dark-bottomed well ? Instead of washing a cloth with soap after soaking it with ink, it is better not to soak it with ink. The Ganga is pious, bright; but only so long as it is in its own form. Its contamination with the opposite is a challenge to its purity. If the cup of mind becomes calm, then it is of course ‘trance and if it is influenced by lust, then there is storm in that very cup. And, if it is moved by the Supreme Soul, then the Sky is contained in that very cup. Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
