Teachings of Bhagwan Mahavira towards Auspicious Karmas Part 1

Bhagwan Mahivara”s teachings are based on RIGHT FAITH , RIGHT KNOWLEDGE andRIGHT CONDUCT, often referred to as the `THREE GEMS The universal teachings of Mahavira are recorded in Agam literature. He reminds us that every individual soul has infinite capacity for right knowledge, faith and conduct but that is hidden under different types of inauspicious karmas. Our knowledge, faith, conduct and working capacity all lie hidden but Mahavira showed us how the dirt of karma can be washed off by the water of auspicious karmas.
The journey of auspicious karmas starts with the practice of5 VOWS i.e Non Volence,Ttruth, Non Stealing, Celibacy and Non Possessiveness. The practice of non-violence is the highest human value.The meaning of non-violence is to act with the goal of common welfare by viewing all beings as equal and respecting all.
Truth and non-violence are close companions. If a man steals and lies he becomes a thief; he acts like that being motivated by greed and other negative thoughts and all these factors weaken the soul. The vow of non-stealing plays an important role of strengthening the soul. Truth, non-stealing and celibacy are closely related with non-violence.
