After Becoming Established as the Self, Only Understanding is Needed
What did Lord Mahavir say? What was his method? If a person had thrown two to three bricks, and blood flowed out from here, then what would He, as the Self, explain to the mind?
“You have been hit with three bricks, but what would be your state if one of the ears were cut off? Instead of that, this is better.” This is the method He used. If the person had cut the ears off, He would say, “Mooah, what would you do if the hands were cut off? Instead of that, these ears were cut off, mooah, they got cut off.” This was the method He used.
Did you understand this method?
Questioner: Yes. Dadashri: If the hands were cut off, then He would say, “The legs are still there, aren’t they! If the hands and legs were both cut off, then He would say, “I am alive, aren’t I!” Such support is sought out, all the way to the end; such was the method. And if our people were beaten a bit, then they would scream, they would start bellowing. Now how would saiyam come forth? Saiyam should be brought forth, there should be detailed understanding of it. Yes, two hands have been cut off, but I do have two legs, don’t I?
Therefore, there should be a means to give satisfaction to the mind.
