Spiritual Quotes On jain

For how long does the creation of anger-pride-deceit-greed remain in existence? For long as you have done the instillation (pratishtha) of [the wrong belief of] ʻI am Chandubhai’. Now if someone from here becomes an aacharya (high-ranking Jain monk), then the instillation of ʻI am an aacharya’ has taken place!!! When the realization that ʻI am pure Soul’ takes place, when One comes into the real form as the Self (nijswaroop), that is when all these [wrong] instillations are fractured. Only then do anger-pride-deceit-greed depart. Otherwise, even if you keep beating them, they will not leave. On the contrary, they will keep increasing.
