THE RELIGIOUS ORDER AND ITS SYSTEM
127
If any service is warranted let me do it In case I am not to be assigned a duty thus then command me to study books * Said the Lord 'One who serves an ailing sadhu serves me'
'By serving a sick sadhu willingly and cheerfully one attains the heights which I have attained--one may become a tirthankar'
Thus the Lord restored the monastic order and his system to its glory by incorporating loclective values into it
