No self-identity by cramming words
O brethren! To regard the soul .precisely as the body and the body as the soul shows our ignorance, stupidity until and unless our this ignorance will not change till then we cannot give up infatuation to¬wards the body as well as attachment- aversion happening as a result of that infatuation.

Hence it is indispensable to know the soul and the body as abso¬lutely separate entities. Of course, from the behavioural point of view, we regard this body as our soul, this is our ignorance, just as you re¬gard the water mixed milk as the milk but the element of milk is differ¬ent and the element of water is different.

O brethren! For getting something we have to lose something. The seed could take precisely the huge shape of tree losing its very existence. If it worries for its own existence then it will not get that hugeness. The milk will have to destroy its existence then only the ghee could be had from it. Just as the ghee is present in the milk but it is not visible, similarly the soul is the store of infinite virtues and strength, which can be manifested by the fire of meditation. Until and unless you do not get hold of the army of infatuation, delusion into your grasp/ power till then the Karma of attachment & aversion would not make you free from them. Hence first of all, it is essential to keep hold of the commander in the form of infatuation.

Oh! Well, we got the introduction of the soul through words but no purpose is served from the introduction alone. When the acquaint¬ance turns into marriage only then the householdership runs through Where there is natural state of disposition, straightforwardness and modesty, the anger .etc. perversions do not germinate there and you can easily seize hold of the commander of the infatuation. Who live with their faith and firmness they neither themselves go astray nor let others to go astray.

Places of pilgrimage, Jina-temples andjain ascetics are means of purifying and making our soul sacred. The soul gets purified and sacred by devotion to them. This is only means not the attainable goal. Well, our attainable goal should be to attain precisely, the supreme reality (Tattva), for attaining that supreme reality, the sensitivity of feeling in the inner soul is very essential. For getting that sensitivity of feeling it is essential to give up the receptacles (resting place) of sin i.e. the home- family. The sensitivity of feeling cannot occur merely by repeating, roting or reading words, for that it is must to reflect it in the conduct.
