This Is My Country, That

According To The Jain View, Soul Is That Element Which Knows, Thinks And Feels. It Is In Fact The Divine Element In The Living Being. The Jain Thinks That The Phenomena Of Knowledge, Feeling, Thinking And Willing Are Conditioned On Something, And That That Something Must Be As Real As Anything Can Be.

In The History Of A Soul’s Evolution There Is A Critical Point Of The Human Incarnation That Decides For Us Whether We Stay There, Go Down Or Progress Upwards. There Is A Knot Of Worldly Desires Impeding Us; Cut The Knot By Mastering Desires And Go Forward. This Done, Progress Is Assured.

Jainism Has Two Ways Of Looking At Things: One Called Dravyarthekaraya And The Other Paryayartheka Noya. According To The Dravyarthekaraya View The Universe Is Without Beginning And End, But According To The Paryayartheka View We Have Creation And Destruction At Every Moment.

We Preach And Practice Brotherhood — Not Only Of Man But Of All Living Beings — Not On Sundays Only But On All The Days Of The Week. We Believe In The Law Of Universal Justice — That Our Present Condition Is The Result Of Our Past Actions And That We Are Not Subjected To The Freaks Of An Irresponsible Governor, Who Is Prosecutor And Judge At The Same Time; We Depend For Our Salvation On Our Own Acts And Deeds And Not On The Sacrificial Death Of An Attorney.
