Book Title: The Truth Author(s): O P Jain Publisher: Veer Nirvan Granth Prakashan SamitiPage 35
________________ 26 THE TRUTH It is a matter of scientific certainty which is absolute. If the individual does not avail himself of the doctrine, and lives in the senses, he ruins himself, and defiles his soul, upon the conditions of which depend the conditions of his future life, virtue leading to happy and vice to unhappy future rebirths. A materialist has nothing to look forward to in the future; he is here to make the most of the present moment. He has no fear of the effect of his evil deeds, but only fears the man-made laws. He believes in ‘might is right' and 'survival of the fittest' in their most ugly form, just as the beasts do. The result is obvious e. g. the law of the jungle with its worst forms of violence, hatred and passions. 00 For Personal & Private Use Only Jain Education International www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
