THE ULTIMATE CONTRIBUTION
As the present work was nearing completion, an apprehension
started to kindle within me: given my status as a mundane
householder, and limited knowledge – like a drop in the ocean – of
the issues covered in Tattvārthsūtra, many learned individuals
may not find themselves sufficiently enthused to go through the
work with right earnest.
I thought of showing the final proofs to the Most Learned,
Teacher of Teachers, Āchārya 108 Vidyanandji Muniraj at
Kundkund Bharti, New Delhi. On a cold December afternoon, I
reached Kundkund Bharti and waited on its sprawling lawns for
the Muniraj to come out after his routine Samayika (periodical
concentration, equanimity). Just before 3.0 p.m., the Muniraj
walked out majestically with a white 'pichchi' in his hand. While
the others were beset by shivering cold wind, the Muniraj seemed
to have conquered the nature by dwelling in the warm house of
inner knowledge.
I touched the worshipful feet of the Muniraj, he took seat on a
wooden stool, and with great nervousness I handed over to him
the folder containing the final proofs of the book. His first
observation was that the presentation seemed to be attractive and
it immediately allayed partially my anxiety. He then read aloud
the Mangalacharan, followed by the first Sūtra –
सम्यग्दर्शनज्ञानचारित्राणि मोक्षमार्गः ॥
The Āchārya guided that a corollary of this Sūtra –
मिथ्यादर्शनज्ञानचारित्राणि संसारमार्गः ॥
Wrong belief, knowledge, and conduct (together) constitute
the path to eternal transmigration.
should also be reflected upon by all.
