Guru Vani 22/08/2026 Lecture: While addressing the Dharma Sabha, Digambar Jain pilgrimage culture’s reviver, Pattaacharya Shri Vishuddh Sagar Ji Gurudev, seated at Delhi Rishabhodaya Rishabh Vihar, said -

Virtue is a great power. Virtue as wealth is immense strength. Virtue is a boon. Virtue is the cow that bears wealth. Virtue is as beneficial as the wish‑fulfilling tree.

To increase one’s virtue, a person must worship God, serve true gurus, study noble literature, show compassion and mercy toward all living beings, live a life based on truth and non‑violence, and provide food and medicine to ascetics.

Increase competence, achieve success.

An individual should enhance his qualifications; those who are competent naturally attain suitable positions at the right time. Where competence exists, success follows swiftly. Only competent individuals should be given appropriate positions. Unqualified persons should not be given high posts; if they do attain a high position, they will be diminished. To achieve success, acquire competence. Competence alone bestows distinction.
