________________ A Moment With Parmatma saffron attire, he could not remember his own identity. When one forgets oneself, only then one realizes who is Guru or Paramatma. What have you done in so many years? Changed your lifestyle or your soul? We became religious, strict followers of religion, we became donors, sacrificed many things, stopped eating underground vegetables, fasted and chanted God's name, attended religious seminars, listened to the preaching's of Parmatma, did every possible thing and what has changed? Our lifestyle...!! Change of lifestyle is momentary, but change of soul is eternal. We judge people only by their superficial appearance, at present if a Jain Saint gives a Vyakhyan wearing pants instead of Pachhedi (male saint's dress), then your attitude would immediately change, won't it? We live our life fulfilling external superficial identity. We have captured this external show in our frame of mind. We have a preconceived perception of Jain Saints, Sadhvijis, Shravak and Shravika, (Jain common men and women) about the entire Jain community and even about non Jains. We have only seen the superficial appearance, hence, we have that impression in our mind. One cannot experience true love with this preconceived notion. 88
