Philosophy Meaning of life
What
is way of Life? Jainism religion
is not a religion... it is always considered as a way of Life! Bhagwan
Mahavira the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism always stated that every Human
Being has the power to become Bhagwan Mahavira... for every Human Being
has the power within to reach the 8.4 Millionth manifestation... the last step
in the stage of cosmic Life cycle. The
followers of Bhagwan Mahavira are never known as Mahaviras... the name Jainism
is not named after Bhagwan Mahavira, as is the case in Christianity and Buddhism.
The followers of Jesus
Christ are known as Christians and followers of Gautama
Buddha as Buddhists. Jainism
has always been considered as a way of Life because it follows the fundamental
route of evolution.
The
word Jaina is derived from "Jina"... one who has won his real self. In other words,
anyone who has won himself is named as Jina... one who has come face to face with
our inner
self, our Atman
the soul within. Having reached the 8.4 Millionth manifestation one has become
"Jina"... a free Atman. The Life cycle for this atman the soul within has ended.
It has gained immortality
forever. The
doctrines of Bhagwan Mahavira emphasize upon this fact that every Human Being
must work out his Karma in a fashion that we reach the final goal of cosmic Life...
the 8.4 Millionth manifestation and when one shall become Bhagwan Mahavira himself!
He never considered himself as a God.
He never stated that he was the only son of God and according to him every Human
one-day reaches the status of Bhagwan Mahavira in the end. So, why not start on
the journey
of enlightenment now!
Jainism and in particular Digambara sect and the Teachings
of Jainism carry a larger meaning for the whole Humanity. Jainism never
differentiates Human Beings as belonging to different religions and sects. Jainism
believes in one and only fact that every Human Being belonging to every religion
and creed... the moment one reaches the last manifest stage... the 8.4 Millionth
manifestation... one becomes Bhagwan Mahavira himself.
Atman
the soul within freed forever stops belonging to any religion or creed. It is
absolutely free... it has gained immortality! So is the way of Life every Human
Being is required to live and follow for gaining emancipation and finally liberation
forever from the
cycle of Birth and Death!
