Description
What could be the reason that a person cannot even live an ideal human life? The answer is the ignorance of the Self (Gnan), and the resulting kashaya (anger-pride-deceit-greed) and vishaya (sexuality), which cause bondage life after life. However, the same individual then attains the competency to reach the Paramatma state after becoming Sheelvaan and Charitravaan. Sheelvaan means to be without not only sexuality, but also to be without anger-pride-deceit-greed. Such a person has sincerity, morality, straight-forwardness (saradata), humility (namrata), naturalness (sahajata), and numerous other such qualities. A Sheelvaan is fearless(nirbhaya). Then the quality of prataap (silent effective aura of purity) arises within such a person.Even a lion will forget its violent intent, and a snake will tremble upon seeing a Sheelvaan. The goal of every human being should indeed be to accomplish Sheel-charitra to fulfill the purpose of this life and attain Moksh.
