24 th Tirthankar, Lord Mahavira’s highly knowledgeable
disciple Shree Dharmadas Gani captures the true essence of

life in the above Shloka. It says – “The soul binds itself by
auspicious or inauspicious karmas due to positive or negative
thought and feelings.” It implies that positive thoughts related
to forgiveness, detachment, brotherhood, tolerance, generosity
leads to origin of auspicious karmas whereas a mind occupied
with anger, greed, vice, cruelty and sensual attachments
originates inauspicious karmas and spoils the life.

Can positive or negative thoughts create such a huge impact?
