The Flowering of Life
A great acharya (preceptor) has said ; मा सुयह जग्गिअव्वं
पलायियव्वम्मि कीस वीसमह । तिणि जणा अणुलग्गा
रोगो य जरा य मच्च य॥ Ma suyah Jaggi avvam, Palayiyavvammi kisa visamaha, thinni jana anulagga,
Rogo ya jaraya machchuya Do not sleep. Be awake; when you have got to run how can you take rest. Disease, old age and death are chasing you.
If one wicked man is chasing us we run to escape from him. When that is so how can we commit the error of taking rest when three wicked men are chasing us?
But this is what is actually happening in life. Gurudev (the preceptor) gives us a knowledge of this error. He awakens people from their spiritual stupor and gives suggestions to them to enable them to achieve their objectives (purusharthas).
