Everwakefulness
An infatuated eye reads only virtues in things An eye shot with revulsion observes only defects An impartial eye observes the virtues and the defects, both The Lord's pursuits raised him far above the jumble of infatuation and revulsion This wakefulness had touched the zenith where the concepts of cherishable vs undesirable do not exists Wakefulness is the only cherishable state and indolence the only undesirable one Wakefulness was the Lord's austerity Wakefulness was his pursuit Wakefulness was his meditation
The Lord was not God He was like any other ordinary human being of his age He was not the destiny maker of anybody He could not create or destroy the universe He was not the ommipotent God who can do, undo and reverse things He would not greet a divine power who masters human destiny His God was not different from man His God was not different from the self Every self was supreme self to him Every self was God to him Oblivion of the self is indolence and sleep Awareness of the self is wakefulness and alertness An unbreaking awareness of the self makes it the supreme- self It is to be God
Lord Mahavira led the self Godwards and unravelled the divine mystery It is his prime contribution The Lord was ever alert and continued to wake others and make off their indolence He exposed each one to this benign influence of his
