Dr. Charlotte Krause : Her Life & Literature
noble image of Eternal Truth.
Having been asked so often as to what I think to be the merit of Jainism as a practical religion, I have tried to give a short answer today, which the general public might be able an willing to follow. At first sight, it might appear to be a one-sided answer, because it is based solely on the problem of the mutual relations of individual and society. Still, this problem being one of vital importance, and it being, as I said before, the very touch-stone by which the value of a religion can be objectively ascertained, the above expatiations may stand, as a kind of introduction into the spirit of Jainism.
