જે આપો તે પામો – Tithankar Paramatma Mahavir Dev

The immense compassion of Kripaludev says,” The entire world is filled with extremely terrible suffering. The three worlds inculded. Among them, the sufferings of Nigoda and the seven hells are extremely terrible. The sufferings of the Tiryanch Gati (animal realm)are also cruel. Even the Devgati (heavenly beings) and Manushyagati (human beings)are not spared; their suffering is countless and varied.

The Devs (celestial beings) suffer intensely from the pain of jealousy, dissatisfaction, and separation. Humans suffer from the inevitable pains of disease, poverty, and death.

Betrayal, abortion, gross violence, cruel betrayals, ingratitude, beatings, looting, bloodshed, wars, etc., there are so many sorrows in the human world that humanity fails under their onslaught: it is ruined.
In his third life,the soul of the Arihant Supreme Soul finally becomes extremely sad. seeing such an orphaned, helpless and destroyed world. The inherent compassion within him reaches its peak. He feels that ‘If it is my will, I can save all living beings (even future living beings) from all this suffering.’
Kripaludeva’s compassion was equally pervasive, without any discrimination, to all beings in the world – Hindus, Muslims, Christians, gods, hell, and demons, enemies, friends and Jains.

By contrast:
The compassion of Muslims is limited to Muslims only. They may consider other kafirs (impure).
The compassion of Christians reaches further ,they speak of love for all humanity.
The compassion of Hindu (Vedic) people goes even further. It extends to animals, birds, and plants.
But even to the infinite beings in the earth, water, fire, air and vegetation, only the compassion of the Lord Mahaveer extends. Because people of other philosophies do not believe in the existence of living entities in all these; then where is the talk of showing compassion to them?

Only the Lord jineshwar, is responsible for the welfare of all beings in the universe.
Who can speak for the world ? Mahaveer, Mahaveer, Only Mahaveer.
The thirthankaras teach us to cultivate mutual affection towards all humanity beings.Mutual affection means a sweet,harmonious bond —a result of pure love ,without any inner knots.
Lord says, “All living beings are dear to me.So, if I am dear to you, then you should be affectionate towards those who are dear to your loved ones. Do not commit even the slightest violence against them in the form of killing, binding, etc. When all those living beings are willing to live a life just like you. They want happiness, then how can you give them death or pain?
They go further to say:
If compassion begins to flow toward all living beings, there is no need for other austerities or rituals to attain liberation (moksha).

Compassion is the water flowing in the river (in the heart). It is on it that the plants (of religion) growing on the banks survive. If that water dries up, how long will those plants survive?

Occasions of Compassion
In his 25th life, compassion grew within him, though it was still perishable.
By his 27th life, when he attained omniscience, that compassion had become a nonperishable nature of the soul.
During pregnancy, out of compassion for his mother, he stopped moving. And he took a vow not to take initiation during the lifetime of his parents. Because doing so would have affected the longevity of his two parents and would have brought about the ominous sound of death.

When his mother proposed marriage, he agreed silently out of compassion and destiny.Nandivardhan, who was deeply distressed by the death of his parents.

Out of compassion, he extended the initiation for two years.
When a Brahmin asked for a robe, his heart overflowed with compassion, and he gave it away.
When the Yogi, in frustration, released his Tejoleshya to burn the goshalak, Kripaludeva, moved by compassion, released his sheetleshya toward him off. He saved the goshalak from dying.
The act of sacrifice that sometimes takes place during the Samavasaran is done out of compassion. Kripaludeva gazes upon that sacrifice (a collection of various boiled grains) and creates such a power in it that those beings become free from disease by touching it.

When Sangam, who has failed to defeat Kripaludev, turns towards Devalok, Kripaludev’s eyes fill with tears upon seeing his back. He thought, “How could I, who had the desire to save the entire world,
have been instrumental in drowning this soul! Alas, how miserable that poor soul must be in his endless wanderings!”
Seeing Singh Angar cry bitterly, the compassionate Lord accepted his insistence on taking the medicine. He asked him to bring the medicine from Revati shravika’s house.
“You get what you give”
Lord Mahavir says:
“What you give to others comes back to you. This is the unchangeable law of nature.
You give seeds to the earth—it gives you thousands in return.
You give water to a tree—it gives you shade, fruit, and life.
Give happiness—you get happiness.
Give pain—you will receive pain. you give health— you will be free from disease and become healthy.
Example:
Karve lived to be over 100 years old because he had once helped save the son of a maid who was near to death. Their blessings returned to him with the gift of longevity.
Since almost all the kings of China died in a short life span, a Chinese king sent a ‘deputation’ to India to find out the reason for the longevity of the Indian kings. The Indian king learned everything from them. While giving them lodging in the guest house, he said, “When the three-hundred-year-old Neem tree standing in front of the guest house withers and dies, I will call you to give an answer that will clear up the confusion of your king.”
But within fifteen days, that huge neem tree withered and died. The Chinese envoys were overjoyed and rushed to the king to get an answer. The king said, “Have you not received an answer yet? With your terrible sighs, you were thinking twenty-four hours a day that when will this neem tree wither!” So, within fifteen days, the three-hundred-year-old, mighty neem tree withered and died! My answer lies in this, that your Chinese people are tortured a lot by your kings by imposing heavy taxes, etc., and therefore their lives are shortened by the constant sighs of the people. The situation in our India is completely opposite to this.

It is on this basis that German scientist Mekins has said that the allopathic medicines which are made are fatal to millions of monkeys, rabbits, dogs, snakes etc
There is no truth in the idea that mankind can avoid the suffering of illness and enjoy the happiness of health through medicines prepared in a way that involves such a terrible violence.
There is research by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who is currently famous abroad: In which he has said, “If only one person in the house is anxious: in tension, its effect reaches sixteen people. That is, sixteen people in the house become anxious. If the entire family wants to be happy, then not a single family member should be anxious. No person in the house should give trouble to any other person in the house.
The Power of Emotion in Food
In a foreign prison, a woman sentenced to 7 days was told she’d be executed instead. She broke down emotionally. While cooking for others, her intense emotional suffering contaminated the food so badly that all four men who ate it had diarrhea and vomiting.

The food became so contaminated with every atom of the woman’s torture that everyone who ate it was disturbed and troubled!

The married son of twenty-six-year-old from a wealthy family in Vadodara, the father of a Boy! The lord of a happy world with his wife had to die. He remained unconscious for seven days. All the remedies failed. When a certain ascetic told the poor to give a lot of bajra and jaggery and pretend to take their prayers, it was implemented. On the third day after the implementation, the boy had some basic movement. On the seventh day, he started moving around. A person who takes the prayers of speechless animals and suffering people usually does not need to take medicine. I tell everyone to do business like this, “If you have a debt of two thousand rupees from a farmer etc. and for some reason, he is unable to repay the debt, then instead of going to court and getting the debt confiscated, do one thing. Tell that farmer, “I will forgive all your debt, but in return you will have to pray to me from the depths of your heart that my health will improve.” I have spent thousands of rupees, but my health is not good at all. Your prayers will grant me success.”
And…. I am sure that by investing two thousand rupees you will get health that even thousands of rupees cannot give but have patience! For this you have to become a ‘Vaniya’ in your mind. No one can imply such intelligence except a merchant.

You should give others what you want.

You want the fragrance of righteousness, but you burn incense to God, not to yourself. You need light, but you need to light up the diva to God. You need purity, but you offer milk and water to God.
If you do all this to yourself, you will feel proud. “ASK FOR A CAMEL WHEN YOU EXPECT TO GET A GOAT.”
Do to others, and you will receive. That is true law of nature.
It has been said somewhere that all the people who have been truly happy in this world have desired the happiness of others. Those who have found joy in the sorrow of others are the ones who become unhappy.
