Bhagavan Mahavir explained the fundamentals of religion to him
in details
Bhadra, a man bears fruits according to his deeds and endeavour. Even if you call this fruit fate, know that the doer was the man himself. Therefore it is only through endeavour that the soul can get liberated from the bonds of karma.
Bhante, show me the path of this liberation.
NANAG
Do not indulge in unnecessary violence during farming and other such activities. In business, do not resort to lies. Avoid accumulating more then your reneeds. Discipline the unlimited expanse of desires.....
Bhagavan Mahavir
Bhadra, a householder can also follow the religious conduct to the best of his abilities. I call it the religion of minor vows (Anuvrat).
Bhagavan explained to Saddal Putra the codes of Anuvrat, including ahimsa and truth, which a householder could follow..
Please explain this Anuvrat to
me in details.
When he heard these words of Bhagavan, Saddal Putra was filled with joyBhante, I have
understood what you said and believe it to be true.

Bhadra, one should not delay in following the path of truth once one understands it.
