There is a refreshingly welcome impact of Jain philosophy beginning to make itself felt on the world community - on whosoever come in touch with it, be they followers of Jain religion or not. The realization is growing that its principles make Jain religion a religion of humanity.
Human life is but a small passing phenomenon in the vast eternity of space and time and the grand complexion of the entire cosmos. It has been rightly said:
"I expect to pass through this world but once; any good, therefore, that I can do any kindness that I can show to any fellow creatures, let me do it now - for I may not pass this way again".
"We are all miracles. This miracle is the miracle of the Karmas!. This is the law that explains the deepest questions of life. Then you know how to become your own master, your own creator, The miracle is you!”
