"Sole aim is to realise the Soul..."

"Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra encompasses the essence of all Jain canons. 


It is the result of the effortless churning of all Shrimad Rajchandraji's knowledge. 


It is only natural, then, that such a superlative and soul-uplifting, scripture requires equally elevated and truly worthy aspirants. 


The term worthiness stands for eligibility. 


Mere scriptural knowledge is not enough to attain enlightenment. 


To attain right knowledge the firm belief and behaviour that 'my emancipation lies only in following the instructions of the Enlightened Ones, I must always live by them', is imperative. 


The one who has steadfast faith in the Enlightened One, mastery over the senses and is detached and peaceful within; whose sole aim is to realise the Soul, only he can grasp the teachings. 


Only he is worthy of this spiritual scripture. 


The one who fails to understand the importance of the Enlightened One, who lacks faith in His words, whose intellect is polluted, who is consumed by his ego, the one who is not a true aspirant and who still wishes to revel in worldly pleasures, for he has no desire to realise the Soul - such deluded one remains uninfluenced even by such powerful teachings. 


Not only does he fail to understand the true nature of substances, but at times, that which can prove to be greatly beneficial can prove harmful to him - because of his sheer unworthiness..."
