Ahimsa is the root cause of all the honours conferred on Lord Jina not only by man, but also by celestial beings, beasts, birds and every living creature of this universe, Tho se miracles for effecting reconciliation, unity and brother hood among the heterogenous elements of society and the entire sentient life could be performed by an omnicient person, the personification of the potentialities of Ahimsa and universal love. Even in these modern times, we have witnessed an unprecedented event in the history of mankind illustrating the potential strength of Ahimsa in the life of a naked and le an man of tottering health emerging victorious in our battle of political freedom with amighty and powerful empire without shedding a single drop of te blood and wrest from the rule rs our birth right of freedom in a most friendly and brotherly way. We have learnt much about the mir acles and divine powers of Ahimsa not only in the realm of spiritual upliftment of the people for making them perfect in all walks of life, but it was the first time in the history of modern India that we had experienced the potential strength of Ahimsa. Therefore it is an incontrovertible fact that Ahinsa has wonderful strength in subduing the brute force and it is no exaggeration to state that we owe a good deal to Ahimsa for acquiring our political freedom from foreign liko rule. In view of the above facts to prove the inherent strength of Ahimsa for subduing evil forces without shedding a drop of blood, we are in duty bound to remain loyal and faithful to its ideals of mercy, compassion and universal brotherhood
