Acharya Bhikshu - A Revolutionary Visionary: Way to Worldliness (संसार का मार्ग): Way to Salvation

Published: 10.06.2013

Acharya Bhikshu explained nonviolence, kindness etc. on the basis of the concept of the path of salvation. That is why in his works we come across again and again sentences like: This is the path of salvation; this is the way to worldliness. If we look at the path of salvation through the ways of the world, we will have a distorted view of the former. Our vision should, therefore, not be coloured. We should try to understand a phenomenon as it is. Kanad has defined dharma in a very comprehensive sense. Jain acharyas have regarded agriculture and business as means to prosperity (अभ्युदय).[9] Acharya Bhikshu said that prosperity is achieved by the ways of the world. There cannot be a path to salvation without knowledge, true spiritual insight and right conduct.
