CONCLUDING REMARKS
In conclusion we can say that Jainism is a wholesome creed that not only caters to the spiritual emancipation of an individual but also makes him a righteous, honest, unselfish, charitable, peace-loving and well adjusted person with sound family functions and social satisfaction; a better citizen with national outlook and a better human being with a wholesome world-view.
Its principles of non-violence, truthfulness, nonstealing, sexual discipline, rational possession and inconspicuous consumption make it a sound philosophy to live by for a better and happier living, social harmony and world peace.
With the motto “Parasparopagraho Jīvānām’ its tenets are such as to ensure perfect non-violence and integrity of all forms of life, environmental protection and ecological balance.
Its practical applications in the fields as diverse as personal happiness, social harmony, international relations, world-peace, leadership and management, personality development and environment makes it suitable as a universal creed.
