Title: Ācārya Viśuddhasāgara’s Vicāra - The Thoughts  आचार्य विशुद्धसागर विरचित विचार
Description: Ācārya Viśuddhasāgara believes firmly that human birth must be utilized as a springboard for spiritual development rather than for physical or material development. This can be attained only when one holds the belief that the body and the soul are two utterly distinct entities and that the soul needs to be attended to as the first priority in all human endeavors. If this belief percolates down mankind, we shall witness a world that is rid of strife, deprivation and antagonism. No one will then play with the ways of nature on this planet Earth.
Right thoughts are a prerequisite for world development. Your thoughts must focus on the development and well-being of the world, besides of the self. The world today is beset by several wrong beliefs and tendencies that have become ‘natural’ to most of us but are causing great harm to self and others. ‘The Thoughts’ confronts many such issues head-on with inviolable logic and scriptural attestation. This fact alone makes the book essential reading for all thoughtful persons globally.
‘The Thoughts’ is for purifying body-speech-mind and soul in order to attain blissfulness, here and hereafter.
The book includes an Index of the scriptural terms.
