A person with right knowledge gets rid, in a moment, by control of mind, speech and body, of such Karmas as one without knowledge can shed by ascetic practices in millions of lives.

quote 6328 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 4/5

T he Omniscient Lord simultaneously knows clearly the infinite attributes and infinite modifications of all substances. There is nothing so conducive to happiness as Right-knowledge. Here is the supreme nectar which cures diseases of birth, old-age and death.

quote 6327 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 4/4

I t (knowledge) is of two kinds - direct and indirect. Sensitive (Mati) and Scriptural (Sruta) knowledge are indirect (Paroksha), they arise through the senses and the mind; the Visual (Avadhi) and Mental (Manahparyaya) knowledge are partially direct (Desha-pratyaksha). With limitations of substances and space, such knowledge is clear.

quote 6326 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 4/3

R ight knowledge manifests itself along with right-belief. They are (however) distinct from each other. Their distinctive features, beyond dispute, are faith and enlightenment. Though simultaneously produced, right belief is the cause and right knowledge the effect. Light illumines itself and the lamp simultaneously, still the light proceeds from the Lamp.

quote 6325 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 4/2

A fter having acquired right belief, pay homage to right knowledge which like the sun illuminates the self and the non-self, with their manifold attributes.

quote 6324 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 4/1

T he good man who is adorned with Right-Faith, unblemished and correct, is revered ever by the lords of the celestials, although he observes no vows because of weakness of action. He is a householder but is not attached to the house. (He is as unattached) as a lotus is unattached to the water. His affection is (outward) like that of a courtesan. He remains pure like gold in mire.

quote 6323 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 3/15

L ove a true believer as a cow loves her calf. Spread the glory of Jainism. Ever keep away from the eight defects which are contradictions (of the above eight virtues). Do not be proud if your father or mother’s brother is a king. Do not be proud of beauty or knowledge. Destroy the pride of riches or strength. He who knows the Self, is not proud of ascetic practices, or high position. These are the phases of pride, eight defects of Right belief. Do not praise the followers of bad teachers, bad gods, and bad religions. Do not offer prostration to any except Jina, Jaina Saints and Jaina Scripture.

quote 6322 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 3/13 & 14

H ave no doubts in the word of Jina. Do not practise religion for secular comforts. Do not feel disgust at the untidy body of an ascetic. Discriminate between the right and wrong principles. Conceal your virtues and the defects of others. Develop your own virtues, support yourself and others, when deviating from piety, by force of carnal inclinations and the like.

quote 6321 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 3/12

T he faith that the Self is distinct from other objects is Right-Belief. Knowledge of the real nature of the Self is knowledge. A firm stand on that basis is Conduct. Now listen about the practical path of Liberation which leads to the Direct Path.

quote 6320 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 3/2

B liss is the quest of the Soul. It consists in the absence of worry. There is no worry in Moksha (Liberation). Therefore follow the way to Liberation, which is Right belief, Right knowledge and Right conduct. The path is two-fold. The Right path is known as Nishchaya (direct) the other called Vyavahara (indirect) leads to it.

quote 6319 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 3/1

E ven if it became a heavenly celestial, it was unhappy, for want of right-belief. From there it came down to an immobile body. Thus the soul goes on wandering in the Universe.

quote 6318 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 1/17

I n consequence of an equanimous submission to the fruition of Karmas, it may migrate to the bodies of the three Residential angels (Residential, Steller and Peripetatic). There it suffers from the devastating fire of sense-desires and is afflicted with lamentations on approach of death.

quote 6317 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 1/16

D uring infancy it had not wisdom, during youth it was attached to young woman. Old age is akin to semi-death; and one dare not look at his own face.

quote 6316 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 1/15

I t remained in the mother’s womb for nine months, and had to bear the pangs due to a contraction of limbs. At the time of birth the anguish was such that words fail to express it.

quote 6315 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 1/14

T he severity of the appetite there, would not be satisfied even by the grains of the three worlds, but not a grain is available. Such agonies were suffered for oceans of time when as the result of some good action (the soul) obtained a human body.

quote 6314 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 1/13

S ometimes being itself a weak animal it was eaten by strong ones. It suffered many troubles such as boring (in the nose), cutting (of tail), hunger, thirst, carrying heavy load, cold, heat, being bound up, being killed, pains which cannot be described by millions of tongues. Dying with an afflicted mind, it fell into the dreadful ocean of hell.

quote 6313 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 1/8 & 9

T he achievement of the form of a mobile creature was as difficult as obtaining the desire-fulfilling jewel. Inhabiting the body on a worm, a bee etc., it suffered severe pain on death.

quote 6312 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 1/6

I f you desire your welfare, listen to those (instructions) with an attentive mind, (all ye who are) worthy of liberation. Being intoxicated by the strong liquor of delusion since eternity the soul has forgotten its nature and has been wandering aimlessly in the world.

quote 6311 | Pandit Daulat Ram
Chha Dhala, 1/3

A ll the infinite living beings in the three worlds desire happiness and are afraid of pain. The (spiritual) teacher, therefore, out of compassion, imparts instructions, which remove suffering and produce bliss.

Chha Dhala, 1/2
