Jaina Philosophy and Religion
behaviour, self-control and politeness, compassion and love, service and benevolence, brotherhood and friendliness, truthfulness and discreetness, wisdom and prudence, tolerance and humility, diligence and honesty, sincerity and perseverance, bravery and forbearance, liberality and generosity, vigilance and cautiousness, justness and impartiality, fearlessness and courage, power of endurance and moral strength, gratefulness and kindness, uprightness and simplicity, service and self-sacrifice—all these constitute the essence of all religions and religious works and comprise the supreme wealth of human life. Man can build up character by cultivating these good qualities. In it lies the fulfilment of the end of human life. It is the right means to achieve the physical, mental and spiritual progress. It is the life permeated with spiritual good. It is the path of purification leading to liberation.
