________________ Ch. 14: Anand -- The Art of Living needs and thank him for giving you the chance to assist. Such simple things in your busy life as a farmer, a businessperson, or an artisan are, in fact, your acts of 'sadhana'. They will further your spiritual progress." Anand was so awestruck that he hardly heard the last words. He hurriedly said, "Thank you so much Bhagwan", and ran home to share this message with his wife. Both of them resolved to live their lives according to Mahavir's advice, and ultimately took all 12 vows recommended for a shravak. Though Bhagwan asked me to conclude the session, I witnessed the patience and intense affection with which Bhagwan explained the simple philosophy of daily living. The citizens were excited to learn that sadhana could be a part of their daily life. With such basic teachings, hundreds of new followers joined the Sraman path. Sraman Dharma was growing in leaps and bounds! 147 Jain Education Intemational For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
