The defini on of 'rich' in the world is 'one who gathers
more money' whereas in Jinshashan the defini on of 'rich' is
'one who gives more money'. A rich heart surpasses all kinds of
riches viz. gold, jewel, whopping bank account etc. Here the
story is of a man who is not just money rich but also heart rich.
Herewith, Pen king Gurudevshri renders a detailed thought
graph of the rich-hearted man's mind which is really very
awesome to read. To offer crores in charity is even easy but
keeping such immense generosity described herein is possible
only for excep onal noble heroes. The waves of hi-nobility,
immense generosity and deep love tossing in his heart would
really splash and trickle your eyes.
Gurudevshri has put deep philosophy in simple words.
He says-Love towards Bhagwan is true only if one can generate
brimming feelings of brotherhood towards another son of one's
religious father, the Great Gracious.' Today, life has become
financially more crucial. The lower and middle-class Jain
families lose the majority of me in the fight for survival and
existence, leaving no me for religious ac vi es. In such a me,
when the sadharmika is suppressed under steeping high
expenditure, it is a duty of every financially stable Jain to fill the
pit. Gurudevshri very clearly states 'We are not doing any
favour on a sadharmika by helping him. Instead, it is a duty to
rid off our brother's misery. If one fails to perform such a duty, it
is an offence'.
