અજંતા શું કહે છે?
"It is to be desired that the importance of Jainism should be universally recognized in western scholars."
ભાવા—એ વાત જરૂરની છે કે જૈન ધર્મની ઉપયાગીત પશ્ચિમના વિદ્વાનામાં સથા માન્ય કરવામાં આવે.”
જર્મનીના ત્રીજા વિદ્વાન હેીચ શ્રીમર (Heinrich Zimmer⟩~~~ "It is quite impressive to realize what peculiar position Jainism occupies among them (religions) all."
ભાવા—એ વાતના અનુભવ કરવા મનપર શાશ્વત અસર ઉપજાવે છે કે સર્વ ધર્મીમાં જૈન ધર્મ કેટલું વિશેષ સ્થાન ધારણ કરી રહ્યો છે.”
લુઇ. ડી. સેઇન્ટર, ઇંગ્લાંડ (Louis D, Sainter)—
I "Why I am a Jain. I am a Jain because Jainism prosents to me the only consistent solution of the many problems of life. The question who am I and what am 1, for what reason do I exist are all answered in the mos: irrefutable manner. Jainism inculcates a feeling of unity and relationship between all peoples, The basic principles of religions are not now so much opposed to each other as they first appeared or seemed. It is only the rendering that is wrong. I am not a student of religion or philosophy. I seek a religion that unifies all living beings, that gives me a reason for the present relationship of all forms of mank fested existence, which also shows me that all is law and order. There is in this religion a metaphysical and scientific explanation of all apparent injustices of life the west, For these and many other reasons are perfect health and peace of mind I am a Jain,'
