________________ SPIRITUAL RESURGENCE: THE SHEET ANCHOR FOR WORLD PEACE [Major Presentation at the Parliament of World's Regions, Chicago, August-September, 1993] The Parliament of world Religion is an unparalleled event of this century. It is an honour and privilege to participate in it as a major presenter from India representing "The Jains.” The world today needs underpinning of faith to the thoughts and activities of human beings. Noble Laureate Post Rabindranaath Tagore described faith as: "A bird that feels the light and Sings while the dawn is still dark." The eyes of the world are upon us. Inter-faith unity of purpose and action forged here at Chicago could help to bring the light of spiritual consciousness while humanity might still be groping in the darkness of despair, ignorance and confusion. Let us rekindle the torch that was lit in 1893 and put spiritual resurgence on the top of the global human agenda in order to tackle in a purposive manner the crisis points in several fields of human endeavour. Vincent Van Gogh, the renowned artist once remarked: "I have a terrible need -shall I say the word? Of religion. Then I go out at night and paint the stars."
