Jai Bhagwan Everyone,
Old age, poverty, disease and death are four certainties in Sansar. The solution to avoid them is a two-step process. The first step is to attain Self Realization. The second step is to get rid of all Karma to avoid re-birth and Sansar.
પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ લખે છે કે “મહાત્મા બુદ્ધ (ગૌતમ) જરા, દારિદ્રય, રોગ અને મૃત્યુ એ ચારને એક આત્મજ્ઞાન વિના અન્ય સર્વ ઉપાયે અજિત દેખી, જેને વિષે તેની ઉત્પત્તિનો હેતુ છે, એવા સંસારને છોડીને ચાલ્યા જતા હવા.”
Mahatma Budhh left Sansar knowing that the Sansar is the cause of old age, poverty, disease and death, and these four cannot be avoided without attaining Self Realization.
પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ આગળ લખે છે કે “શ્રી ઋષભાદિ અનંત જ્ઞાની પુરુષોએ એ જ ઉપાય ઉપાસ્યો છે; અને સર્વ જીવોને તે ઉપાય ઉપદેશ્યો છે.”
Shree Rushabhdev and countless Tirthankars have also practiced and preached the same solution to all Souls.
પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ કહે છે કે “તે આત્મજ્ઞાન દુર્ગમ્ય પ્રાયે દેખીને નિષ્કારણ કરુણાશીલ એવા તે સત્પુરુષોએ ભકિતમાર્ગ પ્રકાશ્યો છે, જે સર્વ અશરણને નિશ્ચળ શરણરૂપ છે, અને સુગમ છે.”
(Since leaving the Sansar and) attaining that Self Realization on one’s own is very difficult; without any expectation, those kind સત્પુરુષો have shown ભકિતમાર્ગ to all Sansari Souls, which (eventually) provides them with the eternal shelter (from the old age, poverty, disease and death) and is easier (to attain Self Realization).
Just like those kind સત્પુરુષો, પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ has left behind the same ભકિતમાર્ગ for us. He has also left behind the essence of the scriptures in just one book to help us follow that ભકિતમાર્ગ. It would have been impossible to research the scriptures written in the ancient language and understand them ourselves in one life.
પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ had studied many scriptures by the time he was 16 years old. He had no formal education in the ancient language yet he understood them very well because of his aradhana in the past lives.
What પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ had attained for himself and left behind for us in his short life of just 34 years is extraordinary. Let us pay highest tribute to પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ on his dehvilay day to show our appreciation for his compassion towards us.
We have everything we need to attain Self Realization. We cannot ask for anything more from પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ except this:
Good Luck,
