<\/div>\n
The\nAparigraha is the Jainism principle of non-possessiveness that focuses on\ncreating a balance between desires and needs and detachment from your own\npossessions. As we all know, the resources on our Earth is diminishing on a day-to-day\nbasis. This makes it imperative for everyone to think about his or her\nconsumption habits and what are the possessions that are truly required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aparigraha means\nasking for little and be satisfied with what you have in hand. This thought\nprocess results in reducing destruction, killing and violent methods of\nacquiring wealth. Removing unwanted luxuries of life that produces a huge\namount of carbon emissions can reduce the phenomenon of global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example,\neveryone knows that you won\u2019t be taking away all the wealth you have acquired\nduring your time on this earth. If you are in your death bed, you will be\nwilling to sacrifice everything you have earned to live for some more time with\nyour loved ones. At the deathbed is where you will realize that whatever wealth\nyou have earned does not matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are\nmany people who have died a peaceful death even though they are not rich. This\nis because these people focused on earning a decent livelihood, helping people\nin need, and ensuring that they were honest in their transactions. Such people\nare the ones who are always at peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexander the Great, on his death bed, requested his doctor to help him live one more day, and in return, he would give his kingdom to him, the doctor still said he could not help him. If Alexander the great had known the value of his kingdom was not worth a penny, then he would have not wasted his life by acquiring kingdom. Thus, he requested to all that his palms would face upward towards the sky when he was laid out in his coffin, to look like a beggar, so that world would know even Alexander the great went empty-handed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aparigraha enables us to take what is truly necessary and no more. Be as simple as you can be, you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy a life can become. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This principle if practiced along with Anekantvad and Ahimsa can make the world a better place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
