Learnings from Pt Narendra Ji

His quotations:
· पंडिताई पल्ले पङी, पूर्व जन्म को पाप।
औरन को उपदेश दे, कोरे रह गये आप॥

· ज्यों तिल में तेल है, ज्यों चकमक मे आग।
तेरा साई तुझ मे, जाग सके तो जाग॥

· संयम बंधन का कारण नहीं है, बंधन का उपाय है।
· Tapa is feast for soul, and fast for the body


क्षमा (Forgiveness):


We can not stay angry for long, but can stay calm for a long time. It means anger is not our natural state, but forgiveness is our natural state.

On Saints:
In having a situation-
· if someone abuses:
○ He has just abused by name, family. And I am soul, and I have no name, family; then why do I take ill of what he said.
· If he abuses again:
○ He abused using words, and words are pudgal. And pudgal is different that soul. Then why do I take his abuse.
· If he called me thief:
○ I have been thief in last births, then why do I take ill of him.
· If he abuses me again:
○ He is abusing me and getting happy. Why do I stop him and obstruct his happiness.
· If he abuses again:
○ Let him abuse. How long will it give. Let him give, and not stop him and keep patience.
· If he abuses again:
○ Saint tried to abuse, but could not find any 'bad word' in his dictionary to return the abuse.


On Anger:
Anger is the root of all bad things:
○ Fight happens in brothers because of anger
○ Fight happens in master and servant because of anger.
○ Fight happens in two nations because of anger.

Anger is compared to blind person. As a blind person can not see who is before him. Similarly, an angry person can not see what is right and wrong.

Anger increase the route in Sansaar.

Example: In one birth Kamath did anger towards ParasNaath, and it kept continuing till multiple births.

While anger, thoughts of dharma do not occur. As one can not see his reflection in a boiling water, similarly one can not find his real self while he is angry.

Look at yourself, if you want to become Mahaveer.


Satya Vachan:

· Words are stronger than Atom bomb. It was the words which made people to motivate to use atom bomb.
· Using positive words:
○ If someone dies, we do not say he died- we say - "उसका स्वर्गवास हो गया"
○ If someone's husband dies, we say - "उसकी मांग सफ़ेद हो गयी"
○ If someone is blind, we call him "सूरदास, or प्रज्ञाचक्षु"
○ Using polite words:
§ Calling clerk as 'बाबू’
§ Calling servant as 'ठाकुर’
§ Calling भंगी as 'हरिजन’
§ Calling someone's home as 'दौलतखाना’
§ Calling my home as 'गरीबखाना’
○ Not using loud speakers outside temple. It distrubs others.
○ Do not use words, which does not sound sweet to other.
○ Doctor does not speak to patient that he may die.
· Words which have compassion inside, and full of love are 'सत्य’
· No matter how many animousioty we have with someone, we should not stop talking. One day the knot of द्वेष will open up.

Sanyam:
· Sanyam bandhan naheen hai, bandhan se bachne ka upaaya hai


Kshamavani:

It needs reduction of all 4 Kashaya in order to ask forgiveness.
- Anger: Only one has got rid of anger, only then one can forgive someone
- Pride: Only one has got away with pride, one can ask forgiveness
- Deceipt: In kshamawani, we says I want to do 'maitri' with all world. And one can do 'maitri' only when he does not have deceipt.
- Greed: In kshamawani, we say we do not want to have 'bair' with someone. And 'bair' happens when we have some greed.
