happiness and comforts. Due to such a mentality, why will
he even care about sadharmikas ? Why will he think twice
before committing sins for his self-interest ? Will he care about
assisting those in need ? If one has become stone- hearted,
then one will not even think about others. Is such selfishness
imbibed in us ?

One such impurity is the nature to develop animosity and fight
with family members over petty issues. How much religion
is required to be practiced to eliminate this nature ? Nothing
at all. How can such a nature be changed ? Doing samvatsari
pratikraman can also not alter this nature. Such a person will
not remember his big mistakes and will not forget the small
errors committed by others also.

Those who call themselves religious, should check their life
and understand how many such impurities contaminate their
soul ? If you want to really become religious by keeping all
the impurities in your heart, then how can you become a
religious person in the real sense ? You are just exercising
external religion with impurities present inside.

A truly religious person is the man who has not only exercised
external religion but has experienced religion inside also.

Lord Jineshwara Bhagwant’s religion is so beautiful that if it
touches the inner heart, the inner impurities are bound to run
away. Only then can one become a religions soul and not a
sinful soul.

If one exercises religion from the bottom of his heart,

i) Can he get angry on his elders ?
ii) Can he become angry and engage in unwanted fights ?

iii) Will he harbour animosity and hatred towards other ?
iv) Will he blow up with pride ?
