________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org 48 Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir Life is an eternal battle-field. As in the case of a battle there are victories and defeats in life; there are joys and sorrows in life. The true player of the game of life is not depressed by defeat and is not elated by success. He remains unaffected by the joys and sorrows of life retaining his intellectual and spiritual equanimity. Swami Satyanath says, "Our science and religion should be married and related." Lord Mahavir says in the thirty first Gatha (tale) of the twenty first Adhyana (Canto)." "It is essential to unite science with religion to achieve spiritual objectives." Science without religion makes man a devil; and religion without science makes inan a beast. If man should be a human being. he needs both. Spiritual tranquillity emerges from the fusion of science and religion. Character is the habit of action from the permanent vision of the ultimate truth fusing the glories of science and the graces of religion. For Private And Personal Use Only
