TULSI-PRAJNA, July-Sept., 1991 the observance of ethical values and devotion etc. both these religions have their separate identities. Efforts to forezake the feelings of pride and attachment, having liberal views for not insisting on any worldly statement, leaving the habit of conserving articles for personal comforts and emphasising the need of preserving the all living beings for social harmony are those values of humanity which can maintain peace and proper balance in the world. Both Jainism and Hinduism inspire mankind for the observance of these virtues and values. By observing this type of life and views the path of attaining the status of ultimate reality is enlightened. It may be concluded that where equivalent views exist about the conceptions of salvation and its paths etc. in Indian religions as well as in other religions of the world, these should be known and propagated for the welfare of mankind. Wherever there are differences of opinion on such philosophical thinkings, these should not be regidly insisted upon. It may help in exploring the ultimate truth. References : 1.
