________________ 5. Our duty like fire brigade is to pacify the fire of discords. 6. Guru can only blaze the path but to march along it is our duty. 7. One can snatch from our hand but none can deprive us of what we are destined to get. 8. We shall live together and share together. 9. The students who remain undisturbed even if a large army passes by can alone acquire knowledge. 10. Man, attain whatever stage in life you aspire to. We alone are to decide what we are to be. 11. The art of speech and scholarship are not the barometer of saintliness. Purity of conduct and celibacy are the marks of saintliness. Scholarship, no doubt, adds to its lustre. 12. Speech is the thermometer of man's immensity. 13. If married life is lacking in love, peace and happiness, how can we hope to make the other three stages of life worthy of emulation ? 14. One may hope to get the chariot (body) again but it will be the real trouble if the driver (soul) goes astray. 15. To begin with, be worthy of Guru's love; then you will deserve the faith and even his favour -- an object moves towards love, faith and favour steadily but surely. Thus love will lead to faith which will win the Guru's blessings. 16. Our means will be non-violent only if we have non-violence at heart; the means of non-violence alone will not avail. 17. He who possessess two hands with the body, sincerity at heart and God within cannot starve. 18. He who cannot distribute the wordly possessions can never he expected to scatter around the inner immensity. w 2 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
