If the equanimous society through the medium of it's own members could achieve this goal, then it can be undoubtedly prophesied that the highest progress of Equanimous society will invevitably he attained. Wheel of Revolution and Welfare : Imagine, if outside the window of a booking office people in a disorderly way swoop down to purchase tickets, then, how many and what type of people would be able to purchase tickets ? only those who are physically powerful or forceful in any other way, the poor and weak fellow will be crushed in the crowd. In the same way today's incongrous society can be compared with such medley where there is scuffle and struggle to loot power and property by lawlessness and immorality. In this type of unorderly society a wicked man by stepping forward becomes the chieftain of that loot. While hundreds of good men even being the votaries of morality and justice helplessly stay as abystanders witnessing the ravage. If by pursuasion and stopping the jumpers over the window, are made to stand in a queue, such efforts in the social field is called by the name of revolution. The whole crowd may not swoop and every one may purchase ticket by turn, such can be the result of this revolutionizing arrangement. The offenders in a human society may diminish, inequalities may avail the fruit of justice and moralitythis can only be the aim of revolution. 207 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
