________________ The accomplishers of equanimous society shall have to give top most priority to this aim only in sequence of their life. They should not forget for even a second that they should not by mind, speech or act be the cause of creating anomalies in any way. They have, themselves, to be moderate and crush unevenness at every point and have to sponsor the vision of evenness. Struggle against incongruities should be the adornment of their thinking, speech and actions. Synthetic Tune of Individual and Society: This movement-this struggle should emanate and continue with the combined vice of the individual and society. An individual should rush towards the society and the whole society should embrace each and every individual-then shall such innate synthetic tune will be able to resonate. With this movement an individual and society will remain collaborators of each others progress and will continue to ascend the heights of equanimity. A congregation is formed of individuals and the congregation is not distinct from individuals, still when both the forces function becoming supplementary to each other, then both inside and outside correct equanimity shall decidedly manifest. Of what-so-ever kind, incongruity is, it takes birth in the embryo of an individual's self-interest, in whichever proportion this self interest is successfully socialized in a salutary way, in that proportion will decrease the proportion of unevenness and the synthesis of individual and society will enhance this is a natural process. B An equanimous society should advance towards this aim, that more and more voluntary restraint be exercise d Jain Education International 206 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
