00:00Among Jains, you have heard of Digambars.
00:03I would say it is a mistake to think that you can become a Digambar
00:06just by giving up clothes.
00:08Dig is the sky.
00:09When you are nothing except the sky,
00:14when there is nothing sheathing or covering your inner sky,
00:18only then you are Digambar.
00:20Otherwise, you are not.
00:21It requires one to achieve the consciousness of a Krishna,
00:25a Buddha, a Mahavir to really get naked.
00:28Nakedness is not the body of a Mahavir.
00:31Nakedness is the consciousness of a Mahavir.
00:34But because we are body-centric people,
00:36we look at his body and we think,
00:37Oh, because the man is sitting without clothes, hence he is naked.
00:41Yes, obviously he is naked, but not because he is without clothes.
00:44He is naked because he is without Maya.
00:48Maya is your Avarana.
00:50Maya is your Kosh.
00:52Maya is your cage.
00:54To be naked is to be out of the cage.
