Meaning & Explanation
Meaning of Karemi Bhante Sutra
Oh Forgiving Gurudev ! I will meditate, worship, repent for my sins, or study religious scriptures for the duration of Sämäyika. I also take the vow of refraining from all undesirable activities.
With the two-fold activities; I will not do and I will not make others do any undesirable activities.
With three-fold activities of mind, speech, and body, I will not overlook any undesirable activities.
Oh respected Guruji ! I give up all harmful activities of my mind, my speech, and my body. I criticize myself for my undesirable actions. I express disapproval of my de-merits. I am determined to free myself from worldly bondage.
In this sutra, there is a vow to under take sämäyika and to relinquish the sin of harmful deeds. In other words, not to do or promote any sin by thought, word or deed and to be in equanimity till the vow of sämäyika is shown.
Utility: In this sutra, after accepting the vow of Samayika, we should not do any sinful act. we should be away from speaking ill of others and from gossiping unnecessarily, but we should study religious scripture and we should pass our time in reading or in learning new religious lessons and we should turn over the bids of a rosary. The vow of samayika means the process of self-experiencing. The equality with all the beings in this whole universe and it means also the prohibiting the new karmas with our from joining or from intermingling of the karmas with our soul-particles during the specified period of forty-eight minutes as prescribed by the omniscients. In Samayika, we should not touch the raw water, the raw earth, the fire, the wind, the vegetables, the opposite sex or the woman and the money; nor we should use any electrical appliance.
