________________ On the occasion of Mahaveer's 2612th birthday celebration, we all should think of his teachings. Mahaveer said: think deep, within. Watch those thoughts, words, and actions. Observe and realize your pure soul within- full of love, bliss. Separate from worldly feelings. The soul, like the gold in mines, is mixed with dirt and stones. Pure gold looks altogether different from the dirt it originated in. The same way our pure soul is different from our outside circumstances and is within us to experience. With profound experiences of his own soul, Mahaveer was able to love Chandanbala, a soft-hearted slave, Chandkoshio, a poisonous violent snake, and Gautam, a learned noble man. Mahaveer saw the same blissful soul in all. Let us pray for bliss and peace for all victims, including the two young boys.
