Roots

My Teacher used to tell me, “Anyone can succeed by pulling other people down, it takes character to succeed by uplifting others along with you.”

You have succeeded – You have gone down – You have again taken a leap of success – Again, you have gone down.

There are a few people who will keep growing continuously in their financial position through generations to come.

There are a lot of people who find it very difficult to sustain success. I am talking success in terms of financial standing and achieving one’s ambition.

When success does not stay in your life or there is no steady growth. That’s the time one needs to check one’s Roots’.

We @FUDOL Therapy define Roots as anything you have been given on your birth like your Family, Society, Mother Land, Humanity & Nature.

Ask Questions Like:

Have you taken along all your family members in your success story?

Have you in the process of being successful, done a lot of unfairness to any of your family member like: condemned or mocked or harmed your “weaker” family member; being insensitive to your sibling or any member of your family who is not as successful as you are?

Have you harmed your society and your Mother Land for your success?

Have you taken undue advantage of people working under you?

Have you behaved badly with the women of your house – forgetting their role in your success?

Has Mother Nature played price for your success?

Have you forgotten that behind your success there are a lot of people’s support, prayers and help?

These above questions will help you answer whether you have taken care of your roots while succeeding.

If you also uplift your roots along with uplifting yourself then, surely the foundation of your success will be far more stronger and thus the growth and sustainability.

If you want us to assist you in strengthening your Roots then book an appointment.

Dusk of Jainism (Stanakvasi Sect)

Jainism is an ancient religion from India that teaches that the way to liberation and bliss – is to live life of harmlessness and renunciation. The aim of Jainism is to achieve liberation of soul. Stanakvasi is a sect of Jainism that believes that soul is nirakar “without any form”, and hence do not pray to any statue. Stanak is a place where stanakvasi’s male saints called as, “Maharaj Saheb” and female Saint “MahaSatiji” resides (though, both can’t live in one stanak together). When a person becomes a Saint in Stanakvasi or takes Diksha – they renounce the material world and follow the path of Jainism which would include: Ahimsa (non – violent), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non stealing), Aparigraha (non acquisition), and Brahmacharya (chaste living). They are trained before they become Saint to follow and preach these 5 basic vows. Stanak is handled and managed by Shravaks – devotees of Jainism to take care of Saints.

Recently, one of the biggest Stanak’s in India went through its darkest phase. All 5 vows were broken. Ego’s, Anger, Parigrah, Asatya, etc were seen at its peak. It saddens me to see the state of Jainism – no religion should get degraded to such a level.

But, on a 2^nd thought, this degradation has been happening for a long time now. What happened @ the largest stanak of Jain was quite inevitable.

If the first time saints entered the management of stanaks – it should have been stopped.

If small changes would have been accepted by the rigid but, good intent shravaks then, perhaps today Jainism’s protection would not have gone to ignorant shravaks.

If we would not have cut ourselves from the Roots of Hinduism...Jainism would have been still firmly rooted.

If we would have shown that maturity and strictness to not let a 5 year old or 16 year old take Diksha and become a Saint - then probably Jainism would have Saints who understand its principles to the core and correctly.

If only the scriptures were translated in English @ the right time so that the Youths would not digress from the core and traditional Jainism.

If only the emphasis was given more to reducing anger, greed, hatred in oneself rather then fasting and other rituals – then the dusk of Jainism would not have been inevitable.

With all the ‘If’s’ and ‘But’s’ in my mind ...I still think dusk for Stanakvasi Jain was inevitable as... whenever, ripples of change is ignored/suppressed/mocked at it will become an uncontrollable force which will come alongwith, big and shallow EGO, Blindness and Greed and has the capacity to shake any virtuous people, religion and situation.

Ending this Blog with a belief that again virtuous generations who value the core principles of Jainism would be born and Stanakvasi Jain religion will see its dawn and again reach to its heights of Glory, Sanity and Purity.
