"Cross an ocean with the help of a Strong boat..."

& Shrimadji said... "Just as one can cross an ocean with the help of a Strong boat and an expert boatman knowing the nature of the sea and trend of its water currents, so with the help of true religion and a set realized preceptor or a saintly Guru or Master, this ocean of worldly life can be successfully crossed by the spiritual aspirant for liberation..." 

"Become God or Parmeshwar..."

& Shrimadji said..."A man who realises the mystery of internal character of great saints becomes God or Parmeshwar..."

"Worldly life show truth as untruth..."

& Shrimadji said... "Just as a string gives us in darkness an impression of a serpent, so does worldly life show truth as untruth..."

"Attachment to sense objects..."

& Shrimadji said... "As fire grows by whatever combustible substance like Ghee or firewood is put in it, so this worldly life grows by Ghee in the form of allurements and firewood in the form of attachment to sense objects..."

"Worldly life destroys all..."

& Shrimadji said..."Just as fire destroys all that is poured in it so worldly life destroys all souls that are led away by it..." 

"A person cries tearfully to get out of worldly life..."

& Shrimadji said... "Just as a person cries tearfully when burned by fire, so a person cries tearfully to get out of worldly life when burnt by hellish unendurable unlimited troubles and torments given by worldly life..." 

"Sufferings by worldly life..."

& Shrimadji said... "Just as fire produces or emits burning heat, so the soul is given many torments, sorrows, miseries and many sufferings by worldly life..."

"Worldly life is full of turning a man round and round..."

& Shrimadji said... "Just as in a sea, many waves arise, similarly waves of sex and other sense desires arise in a man's mind in worldly life, Just as the sea surface is plain on top, so also this worldly life looks quite simple and easy apparently; just as a sea is very deep at some places this sea of Samsara or worldly life is full of turning a man round and round, leading him to his downfall in a feat of illusion or hallucination or infatuation or intoxication...." 

"Worldly life leads a soul to drown..."

& Shrimadji said... "Just as a sea when stormy, drowns a boat or a big ship, so this worldly life leads a soul to drown by storms in the forms of contact of women and strong desire for sex enjoyments..." 

"Get out of worldly life..."

& Shrimadji said... "Just as a person cries tearfully when burned by fire, so a person cries tearfully to get out of worldly life when burnt by hellish unendurable unlimited troubles and torments given by worldly life..." 

"keeping a soul always bound..."

& Shrimadji said... "As in monsoon a sea becomes very deep by rain water, so the sea of Samsara or worldly life by sinful acts of a person leads him to deep down to his downfall and firms up its foundations for keeping a soul always bound and miserable..."

You will certainly be liberated...

& Shrimadji said... "If your entire life is spent in attaining the grace of an Enlightened Being, in honouring all His wishes, in believing them to be the truth, then you will certainly be liberated in a maximum of fifteen lives..."

Lead a pure compassionate life...

& Shrimadji said... "Since we have been born in the family of followers of Jain Religion, we should lead a pure compassionate life and we should constantly remember that we have to protect all living beings with the best of our efforts not only this but we should advise others also by all intelligent ways to follow this universally acceptable and beneficial compassion..." 

Compassion is the very body of a religion...

& Shrimadji said... "No religion is comparable to (Daya) Compassion.

Compassion is the very body of a religion. 

Where there is no compassion, there is no religion at all..." 

In the darkness of worldly life...

& Shrimadji said... "As in darkness, glass and diamond are felt alike and none is correctly known, so in the darkness of worldly life, one does not have the knowledge of what is proper and what is improper from the point of view of soul's real nature..."
