A man invited a visually challenged for lunch. He said to his wife, “I have invited a blind man for lunch today, lay a leaf and serve.” She said, “How many?” He said, “One person. “ When she laid a leaf, he asked her to lay two leaves. She said, “Only one person is going to eat, why should two leaves be served?” The husband said, “If the visually challenged person has to come, an able person must escort him, so serve for him also”. Therefore, only if an able person accompanies a visually challenged, will the visually challenged reach the house. When two visually challenged persons join, both will get ruined. Therefore, a bad person should not mingle with a bad person but if a bad person joins a good person, he might also change into a good person. If a good person joins with a bad person, there are chances of him turning into a bad person. That is why, ", Nissangatve Nirmohatvam." (Through the company of good there arises non-attachment, through non-attachment there arises freedom from delusion). Therefore, if you join good company, you can achieve anything. We have to get rid of hatred and jealousy from our hearts, and for this control of senses is necessary. The main principle preached by Mahavira was controlling the senses. He said that one must have firm love on God and this love will lead us to Moksha. He asked us to chant God’s name incessantly. How to do it? It is not just chanting God’s name with our lips but it should be chanted with love.
