MR. J. L. JAINI'S LETTERS
225 Brother Udani's appeal deserves a stirring and practical Editorial. You write it for the next number, kindly. The Nirvana of Lord Mahavira is excellent from start to finish. Who is Wheeler ? Wheeler's pen is lovely. Get something always from him........
Yours affectionately,
J. L. JAINI. 64, Cantonment,
Fyzabad, My Dear Mallinath,
9th January, 1920. The Government of India Act 1919 compels us to come out in Politics as a community. My health is poor—too poor for hard and sustained work of any kind. Brother K. Devendra Prasad of Arrah pleads other engagements. Brother Ajit Prasadaji is silent. In the name of the Association let us do something. What do you propose ? A general meeting must be called in February or latest in March. Before that we must correspond and get the general sense of the community. and also frame the basic principles for our guidance. On my way from Bombay to here I met at Allahabad my friends the Hon. Dr. T. B. Sapru and C. Y. Chintamani; they will help us. Hon. Motilal Nehru also knows me and my family for more than 25 years. He will be sympathetic, unless we offend his Home Rule views. Anyhow we must think, decide and act.
I send you a photo block of Mr. R. T. Master J.P. and Honorary Presidency Magistrate. He is a Swetambara Jaina of Bombay, very promising and coming forward soon. His life sketch is sent to you. You can tone it down and publish it as A Jaina of today (or) (A Bombay Jaina Leader) or some suitable title...........
I must answer a few points in yours of the 11th December which I find just now.........................
Stones in a quarry do grow up to a certain point. So long as it is growing it is a prithvi kaya jiva body. Growing may be a poor word, but I know none better.
