yourself, that is to say, he feels joy and sorrow as you do." An unsophisticated and enlightened mind must remexaber this truth and refrain from killing or causing the death of any' being Also remember Lord Mahayıra's great maxim, “MITTI ME SAVVA BHUESHU, VERAM-MAJJA NE KENNAIE" that is to say to keep friendship with all, enmity with nobody in other words love all hate none. Here I would like to put for the information of the readers what Lord Mahavira said while showing the primal secret of kindness. He said,'
"ez datorate for arafer og er "He whom you wish to kill, is no other than yourself" this is the primál secret of kindness. The one who 18 killed loses his life, but the killer living in flesh and blood gets in return degradation of his own soul. Kindness can never turn out to be agile so long this fact is not well digested by the people. The killer will only refrain from killing when he fully understand and visualize his own loss in kıllıng the living creatures otherwise not in the abore words of monotheism Lord Mahavira has explained this essence. In the philosophy of dualism the killer and the killed can never be treated as of one identity, but in reality the dead is he who is killing, hence both the killer and the killed can be termed as equal or of the same identity.
Jains treat ignorance as the root of all diseases. Lust
