________________ 28 JAINISM further progress, when he has reached that limit of the body, he is to put it aside and pass out of the world by death by voluntary starvation. Such is a brief and most imperfect account of a noble religion, of a great faith which is practically, we may say, on almost all points, at one with the Hindu. Let every man in his own faith teach the ignorant to love and not to hate. Let him lay stress on the points that unite us, and not on the points that separate us. Let every man in his daily life speak never a word of harshness for any faith, but words of love to all. For in thus doing we are not only serving God, but also serving man. Then let us, my brothers, strive to do our part in the building, if it be but by bringing one small brick of love to the mighty edifice of Brotherhood; and let no man who takes the name of a Theosophist, a lover of the Divine Wisdom, ever dare to say one word of harshness as regards any faith that God has given to man, for they all come from Him, to Him they all return, and what have we to do with quarrelling by the way?
