Exercise of forbearance against various hardships for the purpose of self-development and realization of self only is penance. Two types of penances have been referred in the scriptures – external and internal penances. Fasting, taking less than normal intake of food, reduction in the number of items, renunciation of taste, preparing the body to face […]]]> https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/best-penance/feed/ 0 https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/one-better-than-another/ https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/one-better-than-another/#comments Thu, 23 Jul 2026 07:27:47 +0000 Tattva Gyan http://tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/one-better-than-another/
This world is full of people all around, who are one better than the other. Someone is better in beauty, someone in education, someone in wealth and someone in power. In power also, someone is stronger than millions but weaker than thousands because the world is very large. For each good, one better is available.

To lie is bad; but the intensity of lie cannot be determined until its objective and purpose is not known. People speak lies to hide their crime. Fear of punishment prompts them to hide the same; but that does not annihilate their penchant to commit crime. As a result, the liar progressively falls. His improvement […]]]> https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/deceitful-lies/feed/ 0 https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/honor-penance/ https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/honor-penance/#comments Thu, 16 Jul 2026 04:34:55 +0000 Tattva Gyan http://tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/honor-penance/
Imagine that few people are crossing a river in a boat. They see the water entering the boat and the possibility of slowly sinking of the same. They immediately look out for the holes in the boat from where water is entering and plug the holes. With that, water stops coming. A few of them […]]]> https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/honor-penance/feed/ 0 https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/soul-body/ https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/soul-body/#comments Wed, 15 Jul 2026 16:24:21 +0000 Tattva Gyan http://tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/soul-body/
‘I‘ denotes soul or soul and body. Therefore, some people when they say ‘I am blind’; they believe senses only as soul. Some people say, ‘I am runninq’, ‘I am sick’, I am washing clothes’, ’I am bathing’, etc. and on this basis they believe body only as the soul.

If a wooden ball is put into water then it would not sink but swim. Soul is much lighter than that ball -very much lighter; still, it is sunk in the world. Why is it so?

Education should impart humility. Without humility, there will not be any progress in education and what has been acquired would be lost slowly. Knowledge is an ocean. It is as deep as you go deeper in it. Hence, none can take pride in it. Pride in itself is not good – it is a passion […]]]> https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/ignorant-conceited/feed/ 3 https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/old-oxen/ https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/old-oxen/#comments Thu, 25 Jun 2026 06:43:47 +0000 Tattva Gyan http://tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/old-oxen/
Lot of patience is required to walk on the path of realization. Difficulties, worries, and hindrances come on their path. Wise aspirants believe that all the troubles arise to test their patience. That is why, to win over them enough enthusiasm is aroused in them. Nevertheless, how do the ignorant feel?

The tongue has two jobs – to taste and to speak. Both require great restraint. Those, under the influence of taste senses, who cannot control their food and liquid intake, become a victim of diseases. Because of sickness, they lose strength; body is weakened. Illnesses attack weak men fast. Hence, one or the other disease […]]]> https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/restrain-taste/feed/ 0 https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/attachment-unrestraints/ https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/attachment-unrestraints/#comments Sun, 14 Jun 2026 15:00:06 +0000 Tattva Gyan http://tattvagyan.com/?p=1318
Those who are un-restrained, who cannot control their senses, who cannot control their mind, they are attracted towards sense objects very fast. This attraction towards objects of senses obstructs fulfillment of their duty, impedes their progress, disturbs their good conduct, but they are unable to resist such temptations. Un-restrained people continue to bind karma and […]]]> https://www.tattvagyan.com/jain-stotra/sutrakritanga-sutra/attachment-unrestraints/feed/ 0
