Jain Sutras Discourse 4 POWER OF WISDOM

I welcome you all with my love and respect. Before entering into today's subject, 'Power of Wisdom', just a few points to complete yesterday's discourse. Yesterday's subject was 'True knowledge' – not only about true knowledge but also the knowledge to find out the Truth.

Only two sutras, two ideas I want to add today – first important thing, Truth is something which does not create fear, greed or guilt in you. In the same way Truth is something which creates complete easiness with your inner self and your day-to-day life.

Above all, the important thing is it makes you more conscious and more and more aware. As a byproduct of Truth, bliss happens around you, you radiate ananda.

Yesterday I was telling you, we will see the scale of how to find whether something is Truthful or not. Truth is not just speaking what you know as a fact. No, that is only one dimension of Truth. You can be Truthful and dishonest. Yesterday I was telling you a story of how Dharmaraja was Truthful but dishonest knowingly.

So speaking the Truth is only one dimension of Truth. In Tamil there are three words for Truth. Speaking is one thing, thinking or establishing is another thing, living the Truth through your body is the next thing.
