SRI GNATADHARMAKATHA SUTRA
are also mentioned. Lord Mahāvīra has portrayed the bitter truth through many
short stories that tell us that desire leads to destruction.
The Gnātādharmakathā Sūtra is one of the best literary books available. It includes the concepts of town planning, construction of houses and vaastu shastra. This Sūtra is a must read for those who wish to pursue town planning, vaastu shastra, art of living, counseling etc.
The lifestyle of people portrayed in the Gnātādharmkathā Sūtra is a very useful medium for the present generation to mould themselves positively. It is the best Āgama on moral education. It has unfolded many psychological mysteries.
Shree Krishna, on the way to the battlefield said with complete confidence, that he would emerge victorious. This proved to be true. This is an example of positive thinking. In another example - two friends find peacock eggs. They get into a controversy with regard to the eggs. The first friend is positive and feels a beautiful chick will hatch. To his surprise, this turned out to be true. The second friend was a negative person, so a dead chick was born from his egg.
It is human psychology, a man tends to do something that is not permitted or is banned. This is illustrated through the story of Jinpaal and Jinrakshita. Meghkumar's story shows us that when we compare our past miseries or those of others to our present miseries, then our present miseries will seem smaller
than the past ones.
SCIENCE PROVES CONCEPTS BY EXPERIMENTS, BUT THE VIRTUOUS PROVE THEM BY WISDOM.
