whole daylong. If you ask them why they became ascetics, they
will say in order to get rid of their artadhyan and raudradhyan.
They will tell you it is better to become an ascetic than to live
at home. Rather than face quarrels and conflicts at home or
conflicts over money, or worries about getting married and
making a living, they prefer the life of an ascetic. They believe
that by getting rid of such problems, they also rid themselves of
artadhyan and raudradhyan. But today the ascetics have more
artadhyan and raudradhyan than do married people. Everyone
wants to abide by the Lords’ agna. Everyone has the earnest
desire to remain within the Lords’ agna, but what can they do
if they cannot find the right path?
Dhyans that were never present during the time of the
Lord have arisen in the present time cycle.
Here, you will find solution for everything. Since the
departure of Lord Mahavir, the ‘furnace’ of the worldly life has
continued to burn for 2500 years. Now the 2500 years have
come to an end and so has the ‘furnace’. A new era is starting
now and everything else is starting anew.
Cause of the worldly life
Artadhyan and raudradhyan are the cause of the worldly
life and that verily is that which perpetuates life after life, the
origin of worldly life (adhikaran kriya). You would not have to
wander in the worldly life if there was only dharmadhyan and
with dharmadhyan you may someday even attain shukladhyan.
With artadhyan and raudradhyan one will create difficulties for
others (kadhapo) and inner turmoil and restlessness (ajampo)
the whole daylong. Quarrel is raudradhyan and restlessness is
artadhyan. However, if others can see or sense your restlessness
then it becomes raudradhyan.
What is raudradhyan?
Do you recognize artadhyan and raudradhyan?
