of religious teachings. So far as diversity in time, place, levels and understanding of disciples is inevitable, variety in religious conflicts is to develop a tolerant outlook and to establish harmony among them.
At last I would like to conclude my paper by quoting a beautiful verse of religious tolence of Acārya Amitagati --
Sattveșu maitrim gunișu pramodam
Klişteşu jiveșu krpäparatvam Madhyasthyabhāvm viparita vrrttau
Sada mamātmā vidahātudeva.“ Oh Lord ! I should be friendly to all the creatures of world and feel delight in meeting the virtuous people. I should always be helpful to those who are in miserable conditions and tolerant to my opponents.
