________________ 15th Biennial JAINA Convention 2009 one's being, the very existence. Jain philosophy lays emphasis on totality of life, not on fragmented existence. There are people who take care to see that tiny insects are not killed but they do not flinch when it comes to exploiting others. Everyone has a split personality and this leads to fragmentation which is highly detrimental. Nonviolence must pervade one's life, one's every action and activity. Compassion should be encompassing as was evident in Tirthankar Bhagwan Mahavira's love for Chandkaushik, a venomous snake. CRCRCR ££ DJT Jai Jinendra & Best Wishes to 15th Biennial JAINA Convention Jit & Manda Turakhia, Sujay Turakhia, Rahul, Tejal & Nishane Shah Acquisitiveness or possessiveness is directly related to violence as are exploitation and corruption. To exploit the disadvantaged or the underprevileged is also a form of violence. "Jain religion affirms the co-existence of non-violence and human existence," says Muni Santbalji. Jonathan Swift a great satirist, has said, "We have just enough religion to make us hate but not enough to make us love one another." We must annihilate the very idea of violence and fanaticism to reach the ideal of religious fellowship. Truth, detachment and non-possessiveness are the fundamentals of universal religion preached by Tirthankar Bhagwan Mahavira. E-mail: info@jtsystemsinc.com JT systems, inc.
