Extroverted person practices religion for self-realization ... Introverted person practices religion for self-realization ...

- The author points to another important use besides price. Use is the awareness of caution in that Dharmakriya - intoxication. This is the second prerequisite for making Dharmakriya-Aradhana a success.

There are two types of personality: one is extroverted and the other is introverted. An extroverted personality has a longing for fame. If a person of this level does any good deed, he will try to make it more and more famous. If he does philanthropic work, he will 'highlight' it, if he does social service, he will do wide publicity, if he does charity, he will make special announcements, if he does penance, he will try to make it eye-catching.

The opposite of such an approach of an extroverted person is that of an introverted person. He should do good deeds like philanthropic service or self-welfare deeds like charity. Its aim should not be publicity at all, but it should deliberately try to stay away from publicity. The goal is self-purification and self-realization through those good deeds. The author of 'Adhyatmakalpadrum', Bhagwant, in the tenth verse of Dharmasuddhiadhikar, gives a good example of how this attitude of an introvert is justified by:

Stutai: shrutairvapyaparainirikshitai- rgunastavatman! Sukrutairnakshchan;

Falanti naiv praktikrutairbhuvo, drumahi mulainirpatannayapi tvadha:

In other words, O soul! You are not going to benefit yourself from the point of view of your virtues if others see and hear your good deeds. If you reveal your good deeds for self-praise, it will not be beneficial, it will be harmful. For example, if the roots of a tree hidden in the ground are exposed, it will not benefit the tree, but it will collapse! What a wonderful logic in this example that if the roots are open then the tree ends and if the good ones open then the benefit of good ones ends!

The admirable attitude of the extroverts seems to be hurting in this example and in their logic. In fact, praise is a very temporary thing. Humor can be said to be a synonym for 'wow wow'. If we reverse this wow wow word, it will become 'Hawa Hawa'. Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow An introverted person or a sensible religious person understands this difficulty of appreciation and its restriction for self-welfare. That is why he is averse to it. When even a seemingly average worldly person cultivates this aversion by the fire of understanding, how do you know the hilarious events that make you happy? So read the truth of this recent past:

Adishwarjin rhythm of Byculla, created by Seth Motishah, is a famous Jain shrine in Mumbai. Thirty-four years ago, the Jinalaya's twenty-four ginkulikas were renovated and many devotees took independent advantage of a single kulika. It so happened that a couple of decades later, the pilgrimage decided to make all the jinkulikas magnificent marble and started the revival. At that time, the Jain population in Byculla was so abundant and prosperous that if there was an uproar, the orders of a single Kulika would be given for millions of rupees. But Tirtha wisely decided that if the beneficiary is the only beneficiary, he should donate as much as the cost and if for some reason he does not take the benefit, he should raise as many kulikas. The devotees were eagerly waiting for the opportunity to rise.

Naturally, the predecessors of twenty-four to twenty-three Kulikas took advantage of their Kulika by giving fixed nakras. Only one kulika left. The financial condition of its predecessor was so degraded that it could not avail this benefit in spite of lakhs of spirit. According to the rules, it had to be raised. But a wealthy young man of the Union did not find this appropriate. It was a different matter if five or seven kulikas were left and it was raised. But if a single Kulika is raised, then the society will realize that the condition of this one has deteriorated. Why is he so ashamed? With this noble price, he went to the firm and said, 'Give the benefit only to the beneficiary.

I'll pay for it! ' The firm made it clear that 'the amount has to be paid before the reputation and all the benefits of the reputation will be in the name of the beneficiary. Only then is the firm's decision preserved. The young man happily applauded the clarity and took advantage of the nameless work. Remember that it is easy to give up lust and lust. But in comparison, it is sometimes very difficult to give up the name. Atulbhai Sundarji is the name of the young man who made this very difficult task easy with the help of understanding.

The author points out two important points in the final stage of the right of purification. The first of these is the price. One thing we all know for sure is that cover and paper are more important than paper. The cover may be as good as it wants, but as soon as the cover reaches the person whose name is written on it, the person will tear the cover and read the paper inside and save it as much as needed. The body may be as beautiful as it wants to be, but more valuable than that is the inner being.

That is why no one preserves even the beautiful body after the life is gone. It is reduced to ashes within 24 hours. Pulses, vegetables, etc. may be made of symmetrical substances, but if they do not contain the so-called 'sabras' salt, people will not like the food. People will eat only after adding salt.

Just, the importance of paper-life and salt. Many times more important than this is the price in the field of Dharma-sadhana. Dharmakriya can be done as much as you want, but the prerequisite for its success is the bouncing price of distance. Even a small act of devotion bears great fruit if the devotee's price is exorbitant. Oops! Sometimes it happens that even if the action is not done, the person achieves a tremendous result with strong emotion. For example, Prabhumahavira is a contemporary of God and a great devotee of God. He had not yet performed any of the cradles of the Lord's four-month fast. However, due to the skyrocketing prices and the intense desire to cradle him, he got the place of Devlok in the bar. Due to such incidents, in the Jain tradition, 'Bhave bhavana bhavie.' Such rows have become prevalent.

Of course, one should never misinterpret the examples like the one above as 'there is no need for action'. Keep the price high, then welfare will be done. ' The reality is that usually it is the Dharmakriya that causes inflation. Therefore, targeting inflation with respect to action is a meaningful interpretation. If the dry-dull action of pastoralism without emotion is done, it will not be particularly fruitful as mentioned earlier. That is why in the hymn 'Kalyanmandir', Mr. Siddhasen Divakarsuriji Maharaj has written this line that 'Yasmat Kriya: Pratikulanti na Bhavashunya:' Meaningless or priceless action alone does not give real fruit.

The author points out another important use besides price. Use means awareness in that Dharmakriya- intoxication. This is the second prerequisite for making Dharmakriya-Aradhana a success. Do we check our conscience or do we show complete caution-awareness in Dharmakriyas or gross negligence? The honest answer is often negligence. Rather than sharply satirizing our negligence, the poet has made a great presentation in a non-stanza poem that:

I went to Mewar but did not find me,

Vrindavan went but Krishna was not found,

If you look inside, you know that,

I hadn't left Mumbai yet?

The author of Adhyatma Kalpadrum states that if you do Dharmasadhana with exuberant price and conscious use, it will become 'Dharma' in the true sense. The remaining zeal-use will become the only ritual of zero worship.

Finally, one important thing: an extroverted person practices religion for self-promotion. An introverted person practices religion for self-realization.
