known as the feeling of appreciation - "The Pramod Bhaavna". It signifies that there is no living being in this world that doesn't have even a single quality in him, Just we need to have an eagerness of finding it out! In schools, the students are given the initiative of creating "The Best from Waste". Our scriptures also suggest us to detect the quality in a particular organism, even if, he has plenty of faults or defects in him! While I was writing this chapter, one youngster informed me that a GPS based game named "Pokemon Go" has become popular these days! People lose their wisdom and crazily keep on roaming from one place to another for finding out the Pokémon located at various spots! Our scriptures have also taught us to play such a game named 'Qualities go"! Stop searching the short-comings of others and just concentrate on their attributes! This Pramod Bhaavna was running in every vein of Dharmasuri Maharaj's body and hence, he would never miss even a single occasion of appreciating the most minute positivity of anyone!
This Raju was having a special skill or intelligence with him. He might remember the verses of a particular sutra, not just in an ascending order, but by numbers. Imagine, if you ask him randomly to speak the 34th Gatha of Vandittu Sutra, he might instantly recite, "Kaayena Kaaiyassa, padikkame Vaaiyassa..." When Dharmasuri Maharaj came to know about
it, he got delighted and took up a new job in hand. Whenever any devotee would arrive to meet him, he might convoke Raju and make him recite the gatha orally on the numbers asked by those devotees according to their wish! The rejoiced Shravak might instantly announce the rewards for Raju and in this way; he had collected more than Rs. 800 just in a span of 10 days! The readers might experience exultation after knowing that this same Raju is now a pre-eminent Aacharya Bhagwant of Jainism- Pujyapad Aacharya Shree Rajratnasurishwarji Maharaj, whose articles are published in Gujarat Samachar every Monday in Mumbai from the last 25 years!
A mango seed can pass through any of the 3 circumstances - 1) Thrown in the dustbin, 2) Added some elements and made it worthy to be eaten and 3) Sowed beneath the earth. The first one results as a wastage, the second one as consumption and the last one as utilization and multiplication. A small child is perfectly like this mango seed. If you remain carless, it becomes of no use in future, but if take a smart care of him, the same child turns out to become a legend of future...
If sevanti became Suryodaysuri Maharaj or Raju became Rajratnasuri Maharaj, the credit must be given surely to the care of Dharmasuri Maharaj, for both interior and exterior well-being of the disciples!
