Who is a great man?


The context of Savatti.
Then Ayushman Sariputt went to God and greeted him and sat on another side. Then Ayushman Sariputt said this to God -
′′ Allowances!
He is called 'great man, great man', does he become a great man by being?"
′′ Sariputta!
One is a great man when he is free from heart disorders. I call a man with a mind free from disorders a great man. There is no great man if he is not free from heart disorders. I don't call a man who has a mind free from such disorders a great man. ′′
′′ Sariputta!
How can one get rid of heart disorders?"
′′ Sariputta!
A monk (Sadhak) (three and a half handed kaya-form) removing anger and malice in the world, becomes labourer, memorable and cognitive, and behaves in the body by being a monk. Thus, by concentrating in Kaya, the mind attains quietness and is free from inflammation without any benefits.
′′ (Three and a half handed body-form) removing anger and malice in the world, become labourer, memorable and cognizant, painless in the pains. Thus, by doing pain in pains, the mind gains peace and is free from infusion without any treatment.
′′ (Three and a half handed kaya-form) Removes anger and malice in the world, become labourer, memorable and cognitive, behaves mindfully. Thus by doing Chittanupashana in the mind, the mind attains quietness and becomes free from inflammation without any benefits.
′′ (Three and a half handed body-form) by removing anger and malice in the world, become labourer, memorable and cognizant, behaves in religion by being religious. In this way, by doing Dharma in religion, the mind attains quietness and the one who is without any subdivision becomes free from shelter.
′′ Sariputta!
In this way, one becomes a great man only after being free from heart disorders. There is no great man when he is free from heart disorders. That's what I say. ′′
(Samyutanikaya (3.5.377), Mahapurisutta)

Some Memorable Episodes

When I was in the 7th standard, all schools were notified by the central government to teach First Aid - a popular initiative of Supreme Court judge, Mr. Jijibhai. Being very fond of books I purchased one on this subject from the market that was more comprehensive than the book supplied by the school. My father had always encouraged this kind of initiative in us. During the examination, my answers were more thorough than what was taught in class and I stood first in all of Myanmar. The doctor overseeing the exams wrote in his comments that this boy was the sharpest of all the students, and on his recommendations, the then British Governor Krokreen presented me with a gold medal in front of a large assembly. Values inculcated by my first teacher, my aunt who was virtuous and filled with Dhamma, especially her rebuke when I made fun of my teacher Kasu Sir, ensured that I grew more conscientious and focused more on my studies. As a result I always stood first in my class and became a favo

Buddha and Dharma

The pure religion published by some Samyak Sambuddha gets distorted over the passage of time, then it becomes extinct. In such a situation, people forget the true meaning of religion. Holding her was a far away thing. There is no nomination of common modesty in a person, what is the matter of mind-restraint and purity? But such a person is filled with caste respect because of being born in a special caste. He considers himself religious because of his birth. He hates other castes by considering them inferior. Even his shadow makes him unbearable. Religion reaches the peak of its descendence, while the scriptures created by people of a particular caste declare that no matter how miserable, miserable and miserable the person of their caste may be, but he deserves worship and honor. It is. On the contrary, no matter how modest, virtuous, wise a person of any other caste may be, he is not worshipable, but entitled to be tortured like animals. Casteism has become a religion for such people.

Goodbye Anuj Radheshyam

He reassured me that everything is ready while leaving. Don't you worry. You send the material in the press. Books will be out in two days. I couldn't believe how this would turn out? His body was calm in the journey just before reaching Bhopal leaving Mumbai. While leaving, I told you not to worry, the booklets will be ready. And literally two days after she left her associate printer handed me both booklets I wanted...... My respected father Shri Gopiramji's elder brother i.e. my uncle Shri Dwarkadasji's age was increasing and his body was also becoming unwell. They didn't have any sons. Seven daughters were born one after another in life. The father was worried about him how his descendant would run if he didn't have a single son? Due to this concern, he had adopted his first son Balkrishna to his other elder brother Shri Rameshwarji, because he had no children. No son, no daughter. He had unlimited respect for the elder brothers. To free my elder brother D
