Bhagwan Mahavir 1
[ 425
shall have to render service to the public mentally, physically and vocally, according to our ability and strength; we shall have to leave the feelings of hatred for our fellowbeings for ever; we shall have to see that we do not misuse our rights, that we are not selfish and unjust and that we do not insult any body in the pride of our rank and position in society; in the end, we shall have to purify our hearts from deceitfulness, shall have to fill them with the faith and belief; and shall have to learn to respect every living being, if we want to attain Moksha. If we are able to reach to this high object, we are sure to get Salvation. We shall not, then, have to seek for salvation, but salvation shall come to us of its own accord. We can act according to the principles of the Lord only when we follow this route; and can be entitled for Moksha only when we act according to his principles. However far away we might be from the Lord, we shall be regard. ed as living near him, if we act according to his principles. Let us then leave all useless talks and try to mould our lives according to the religious principles of Lord Mahavira. Let us draw inspiration from the Lord and let the world draw inspiration from us.
