________________ I AM MAHAVIRA Jain Education International but there is difference in their degree. The eleven vows of Gītā are just the expanded form of these five vows.' "The non-violence leads us to have a liberal mind and lets one fly in the dense clouds of love and affection. This causes the shower of truth with poly-viewistic judgment through the speech. These two vows lead to flowering and crops of the propensities of non-stealing, celibacy and non-possession. The observance of these five vows can keep the gatekeepers of mind, speech and body under control. We should take bath in the confluence of the control of these three weapons of violence. This is the chief exertion of life. This is the welfare of all. This is the heaven on the earth." 58 For Private & Personal Use Only ... www.jainelibrary.org
