never think of putting up name-plates and advertising our
names for small acts of benevolence or charity done by us.

Arihanta Almighty is our father. Guru Bhagwant is our
mother and the Jain Community, Scriptures and Religion are
our strength and saviours. When we oblige them, it is actually
we who are under their obligation. We forget this basic

principle which leads to the rise of such petty issues.

Inspite of your financial and physical capacity, you miss the
chance to devotedly worship and serve Him and utilise all
your resources be it time, money or energy in sinful activities.
How miserable is the plight of a person who has attained the
precious human birth and Jain Religion! What a major loss!

Getting up in the morning, don’t you feel awkward on having
breakfast without offering anything to Him? Without offering

at least one cloth of Angalucchna (cloth to wipe God’s body
after doing Prakshala) or decorating Him with silver or golden
foil, how can you wear new apparel and walk with pride?
How do you perceive Almighty? As a person in need? Thus,
we will serve Him at our own free will.

Do not get off-track !

You are intelligent and the foremost use of this precious
intelligence is to strengthen the belief that Vitaraga Bhagwan
is our all-time well-wisher, protector and father.

We owe all our happiness to Him. All that seems good and
glorious is only and only because of His eternal grace.
