Mahavir Jayanti special: one more Mahavir
The era has raised some questions about religion. Is religion true? If it is true then why many religions? Truth is timeless, there is one. Many religions and many religious principles are going on. There is inconsistency among them as well as opposition. This shows that religion is not true and if it is not true, then it is not of much value either. These questions seek resolution.
These questions arise whenever the key to coordination is lost. It is true that religion cannot exist separately from truth and truth cannot be two for two religions. Religion is true and truth is one for all, but ever since the place of reverence became first and the place of knowledge second in the field of religion, the contract of religion and truth has ended. Religious people say – “We don’t know about religion.” We have reverence for our religion. ”For him, reverence is the main and knowing. When the main accessory is made and the accessory becomes the main, then many misconceptions arise. There can be reverence without knowing, this is a big misconception. Mahavira drew the attention of the religious world to this fallacy. He gave a systematic program of conduct of religion. It has three parts – knowledge, reverence and conduct. There is reverence after knowing and conduct occurs after reverence. Knowledge, devotion and conduct – all three are coordinated, only then the totality of religion comes into life. Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Karmayoga – these three become dissolvable, then the one-sided urge develops, then the Jnani Yogi repeats devotion, the Bhaktiyogi cancels Karma and the Karmayogi cancels both Jnana Yoga and Bhakti Yoga. A person standing away from religion feels that one religion is engaged in the repeal of another religion, so it is not true and it is not true, therefore there is not even a solution to the problems of life. Mahavira was asked – Can only grief be liberated from knowledge? Mahavir said – can not be. Then asked – can only grief be liberated from philosophy and only conduct? Mahavir said – can not be. She can only be in coordination with all three.
Mahavira propounded this natural principle that there is no conflict in the object world. Opposition is in our eyes. If it is relative, it has a sense of co-ordination, then all virtues and religions are contradictory. This opposition is the cornerstone of our friendship. The basic formula of religion is friendship and coordination. Where the source of coordination has become secondary, there has been increasing opposition to religions and friendship has broken.
We live a relative life, so truth cannot be made available and relativized except in relativity. The king summoned three painters and ordered him to make his portrait. He made pictures with full devotion. The king was Kana. This was a major problem faced by painters. In their own way, they tried to solve this problem. The first painter presented his portrait. Very beautiful and very attractive. The king rejected it and said – “You have transgressed the truth.” Both eyes are visible in it. I don’t like this inexperience, so take your picture back. ”The second picture was presented. She is also beautiful and attractive, as well as realistic. The king rejected him and said – “The known truth can be known, it should not be displayed.” I do not like this harsh truth. You also take your picture back. ”The third picture was presented. Very attractive and very beautiful. He had his own specialty. In it, the king was shown hunting. He is taunting the bow. One hand is forward and the other back. This pose made truth relative. The painter neither displayed the kana to the king nor displayed him with two eyes. He displayed as he was. The king accepted this picture and said – “There is no encroachment of truth in your picture and the display of naked truth – both, so you accept its reward.”
Relativity is the biggest reward of our lives. Its rendering is the biggest gift of Lord Mahavira to the modern age. We Indian people are still not completely grateful towards this gift and not because we do not use it as expected in our lives. We do not use relativity, that is why disharmony prevails in religions, conflicts in family life and in politics there is a rough display of battles. As the person shrunk. There is an uproar of society, state and power all around. This person-neutral socialism has caused many complications today. Today again there seems to be a need for another Mahavira, who must formulate and use the principle of relativity of the individual and society.
The person is conscious. He is the creator of society. Individuals at the center and society at the periphery. The dominance of matter increases when the principle of giving priority to the periphery is established by accession to the center. The struggle of modern civilization is the struggle for competition of matter. Matter has covered Chaitanya. The substance cannot be denied. He is the burning necessity of our life. It is the foundation of our social values and programs of development. In the theory of relativity, neither matter is secondary nor Chaitanya is secondary. Both are in their respective places. Materialistic civilization has given Chaitanya an all-encompassing place. With that, today’s man is moving fast in the direction of madness. He is moving away from his center and only running towards the perimeter. The only way to end this race is to re-evaluate the relativity of consciousness and matter.
The present age is the scientific age. Science has developed based on the relativity of intelligence and experimentation. The blank intelligence cannot reach the height to which the experiment can reach. Use of blank is not possible without intelligence. Wisdom is our cognitive side and experiment is the functional side. The coordination of both knowledge and action leads us to the truth. Mahavira laid great emphasis on the coordination of knowledge and action. The problem of society is that one class is of knowledge and the other class is of karma. One who is knowledgeable is either lazy or feels hesitant to do deeds. One who is a workman is either devoid of intellectual ability or does not consider knowledge to be very necessary. Wisdom and action are both separate. The operation of karma is in the hands of the intellect and the execution of intellectual thinking is in the hands of karma. Both are relative, but due to their absolutes, the problems of intellectual and working class remain a headache. The seeds of this problem exist in our education system.
Lord Mahavira gave important sources of relative education. There are two types of education – negative and accidental. Facts are known by the learning of liens. Ascetic education is practiced. The aim of education is to awaken wisdom. Knowledge is known when awakening. On killing again, the wisdom of conduct awakens. Hee is omitted from it and Upadayya is used. In metaphysics, these four sutras – Eclipse, Essence, Knowledge and Pratyaksha Pragya – are used. It is a branch of education, which is used in the current education system.
The second branch of education is self-knowledge – knowing yourself. In this branch too, the above four education-sources are used. It is completely unused in today’s education system. That is why the elements that make the mind fickle in the current education system are sufficient. There are absolutely no elements that stabilize it. There are many elements that fill the mind. There are no elements that make her clean. Consequently, even a educated man is as unsuccessful in solving his mental problems as an illiterate man. He may have failed more than the illiterate man. Illiterate man does not have much capacity for thought. Therefore, mental confusion is also less in it. In an educated man, the capacity of thought increases, consequently mental confusion also increases. The result of education should not be that due to ideological ability, mental confusion will increase and the formula to solve them is not found. There is a definite relationship between conceptual ability and mental complications. Ideological capacity should not increase and mental confusion should not occur. Self-knowledge gives a solution to this problem. Thoughts add to the confusion and the thoughtless moments available from self-knowledge solve the problems. To live a happy and peaceful life, it is very important to live a life of relativity of thought and thoughtlessness.
We should not only remember Mahavira, live his life. Living a life of relativity is a life of Mahavir. Only by living such a life can we truly follow Mahavira.
