________________ ૫૧ નિજોનાં સૂત્રો as they were wont to be, seers foretelling us something of our possible future ! Gracefulness is part of the generosity of the magnanimous. To the existence of art, a preliminary psychological condition is necessary, namely, ecstasy. All excellence is inheritance; we have first to persuade the body. Regarding all aesthetic values I make use now of this capital distinction: Is it defect or abundance of life which has become creative ? Popular morality is comparable to popular medicine; there is no science in either. Morality is the herd-instinct in the individual. There are no moral phenomena, there are only moral interpretations of phenomena. Not things, but opinions of imaginary things, have been the source of endless trouble to man. Whoever has not two-thirds of his time to himself is a slave. Even virtue cannot be made to reign by virtuous means. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
