________________ FIRST ADDENDUM : APHORISMS OF DISCIPLINE INTRODUCTION In the preceding ten chapters the lofty codes of ascetic conduct have been detailed. If under the influence of the karmas that lead to sufferings, a shraman's mind wavers and is filled with thoughts of attachment giving rise to aversion for discipline, this chapter provides a solution in the form of simple and touching aphorisms. Reading, listening to, and contemplating on these aphorisms help him regain his love for discipline. That is why this chapter gets its name 'Aphorisms Of Discipline. Choola or chulika means addendum. The codes and other things not discussed in the preceding chapters have been listed in brief in these two addenda. In the first addendum are listed eighteen points that help fixing oneself into discipline. These short sentences are eloquently composed to convey important messages in brief. For exampleworldly life is bondage and discipline is the gateway to liberation; every soul has its own sin and piety; etc. The subject of this chapter is valuable for a spiritualist from many angles. As sails are important for a ship, a lance is important for an elephant, so are these aphorisms of discipline for those who want to progress on the spiritual path. ३५८ श्रीदशवकालिक सूत्र : Shri Dashavaikalik Sutra CHITWO Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
