ted correctly. Surely, it should be easy for men wishing to study their own and other peoples' religions to make up their minds to turn to the study from the standpoint of science. And the time required is not great-just a few weeks' study will suffice to open the eyes to the grandeur of the true Science of Religion and to the beauty of the vision of the Unbreakable Peace which will beccme perceivable from the change in the angle of vision. But it should not be a haphazard reading of books ; let the selection be made in the first instance from the Jaina Library. London ( 110 Cleveland Gardens, Hendon Way, N. W. 2). Afterwards any books may be read that one likes to read.
Without a scientific study of Religion our differences will ever remain unsolved and uncomposed. It is no use repeating old meaningless trivialities, such as 'proceed with understanding' and the like. Do not the Hindus and the Muhammadans understand one another already sufficiently, after nearly a thousand years of the closest contact ? Do not the Protestants and the Roman Cathol. ics, the Italians and the Abyssinians, the Chinese and the Japanese and others understand one another fully, likewise ? What men have understood of one another thus far has only gone to intensify their differences. The fault really does not lie in the heart, which is truly anxious to understand things, but in the method of study which has been unscientific, and which has, therefore, failed to lead up to the Vision of the grandeur and majesty of Truth and of the lovelinoss of the Brotherhood of the Knowers of Truth, as the haven of abiding, enduring Unbreakable Peace. It is a delusion to think that you can solve the problems of humanity, even those of today, by merely bringing men on to one plaiform, or by Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
