“Charitra upkaran” ka sārvik arth

Ye sab bāhya (external) saadhan sirf ek uddeshya ke lie haiṅ:

• Samyak charitra –

ahiṁsā, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigrah ko roj ke jeevan meṁ, har kadam par, zyādā se zyādā shuddh tarīke se jeena.

Yad rakhiye:

• Asal charitra andar ka hai (bhāv, vichār, niyat).
• Ye upkaran sirf madad karne ke saadhan haiṅ, mārga ka antim lakshya nahiṁ.
