________________ cannot be modified for any individuality. It is always practised first and then discoursed. Even though the purest of all, its gospel comes not from heavens. Neither it is an order or command issued to others, by any power or by Heavenly. Being it is the universal truth that applies alike to all. It never favours nor disfavours any one, Jain or non Jain. Eventhough the least spread in the world, Jainism (Jinology) is ever universal by its virtue. It is based on pure knowledg of intrinsic properties of the universal substances and realities. The Jina is ever invincible as he evinees victory over his Self. He considers no friend or foe. He cannot be a devotee, servant, obedient or ward of anybody in any sense. He embraces Self-Theism and becomes God himself. Likewise he considers other beings also are able and free to advance on the way to Master themselves. If at all the full mastry over Self-Knowledge is established, the Godhood is automatically achieved. A true Jain sets forth an example in the practical life, for every expression of his philosophy and belief. There is no high-sounding word that does not yield to the practical living range. His lenity and modesty blossom into fruits like universal friendship, mindful appreciation of any virtue in anybody, sincere pity for the suffering ones and retard at opposition. This tendency brings out peace and cooperation in the social living in the world. He also found an example for living, sans conflict. Actually he practises the policy of living with malice towards none and with generosity towards all. His living is, sans sort and sans criminality. His life goes on lovely and lively. Alike knowledge, bliss, virility etc. the other spiritualities are manifested in the pure soul to the infinity. Every virtue is eventually experienced and practically evinced. All the disturbing and harmful elements are removed from the Self. Thus every woe is undone and weal is enjoyed, to its infinity. Facing no harm as break, and manifesting elernal bliss is the virtual life. Being faultless in it self and harmless to others, it is considered as the achievement par excellent. Thus the Jain concept of living leads to the real life that suffers no death or any other loss. Eventually it blossoms into the pure, virtuous and eternal status for the ever living soul. It is useful like a tree in its full bloom. It is the full life to the tree itself, so also it helps others to live on. They can use its shade, leaves, flowers, fruition to their choice. It upholds the real spirit of life as such, without making any discrimination in any sense. Thus it is the Best concept of life in the universal sense, as everything expounded by Jains is true to the universality. सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः / सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु न कश्चिदुःखभाग्भवेत्॥ 76 आचार्यरत्न श्री देशभूषण जी महाराज अभिनन्दन ग्रन्थ Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
