One who equally treats enemy and _ friend, is unmoved by honour and dishonour, always the same in gain or loss, equally sees a clay-piece and gold, has pure meditation of right belief, engaged in service of _ Knowledge, well disposed to pursuit of conduct, and ~ anxious of having eternal bliss—such a saint—he who q seeing him does not honour him has a wicked conscience. q He totally destroys his useful human birth, making it _ unprofitable.” LAYMEN CANNOT GET NIRVANA. As long as home life is not abandoned, and saint life is not adopted in order to have pure self concen- _ tration, so long one cannot have Nirvéna, cannot end the miseries of the world. This fact is emphasized in ~ the Digambar Jain Scriptures and also in the Buddhist- : literature. 3 “ The Doctrine of the Buddha” by George Grimm, ag Page 399. ‘‘ There is no house-holder whatever, O _ Vachha, who, not having left off house-hold ties, upon 302 JAINISM AND BUDDHISM the dissolution of the body, makes an end of suffering.” (Mat. 485). Page 416. “ Cramped and confined is house-hold life, a den of dirt. But the homeless life is as the open air of heaven. It is hard to live the holy life in all its perfection and purity while bound to home. Let me go forth to homelessness.”” (M. I. P. 267). The Jain book Jndnarnava says :— aca wa eq ataachy waa | Hel aaa AH Beara sta tater tl & Il UIA A aang AetaaIrw Aa: | aad Taras aghteaatae BATA: Il Lo-sil Na pramdda jayam kartum dhidha nai rapi paryate, Maha vyasana samkirne grahavaseti nindite 9 Sakyate na vast kartum grahibhischapalam manah Ataschita prasantyartham sadbhis-tyakta grahe sthitth 10/4 “Even the wise men cannot conquer the passions in house-hold life which is censurable and is full of many calamities. This wavering mind cannot be con- trolled by the house-holders, therefore the home life has been abandoned by the gentlemen for bringing peace to to the mind.” SAINTS SHOULD MEDITATE IN SOLITARY PLACES. ‘The Doctrine of the Buddha” by George Grimm. Page 350. ‘‘ Whoso once has experienced this state within himself, is lost to the turmoil of the world, . WHY JAINISM AND BUDDHISM ARE THE SAME? 303 even if he again awakes to it: ‘ His mind inclines to solitude, bends towards solitude, sinks itself in solitude, to him this is highest blessedness.”” (M. I. P. 306) SACRED BOOKS OF THE EAsT. VOL. X. Dhammapada Ch. XXI, Page 303. ‘* He alone, who, without ceasing, prac- tises the duty of sitting alone, sleeping alone, he subdues himself, with rejcice in the destruction of all desires alone, as if living in a forest.”’ THE JAIN SCRIPTURES ALSO DESCRIBE THE BEAUTY OF SOLITARINESS. ~~ ~*~ La as aaa a waa aeat afer: | ~ te. ~ a . aaqreataaiita anita Parag: | 3% I Abhavachchitta viksepaeckante tattva sansthttth, Abhyasyedabhiyogen yogt tattvam ntjadtmanah “A meditating saint should practise contemplation of one’s own self ‘being steadfast in the true principle with efforts in a solitary place where the mind may not be disturbed. Jnanarnava says :— Tes ass frReattacey aA: | eraaaaa seat alah vara RASA Nl <-XS Il Ragadi bagurajalam ntkritya chintya vikramah, Sthana mdasrayate dhanyo viviktam dhyana siddhaé 2/27 304 JAINISM AND BUDDHISM ‘““A qualified saint having unthinkable valour, throwing away the net-work of attachment etc. takes shelter in a solitary place for success in self-concentra- tion.” Those who want to arrive at Truth should study the old literature of Jainism and Buddhism. I believe that they will have to conclude that the philosophy of both the systems is one and the same. One who wishes freedom from miseries must follow the eight-fold path of Buddhism or the three-fold path of Jainism. The teaching of both is to be dependent on one’s own self, and to practise self-concentration with firm belief and knowledge in order to gain Liberation or Nirvana. | The Jains and the Buddhists should mutually understand each other’s literature and be friendly know- ing that their philosophies have emanated from one COMMON SOURCE.
