________________ who are living symbols of the fact that man comes into the world without clothings or material possessions and so must he quit this world. This kind of outlook about the world and life of non-violence. truth, non-stealing, abstinence and non-possession naturally leaves little room for greed and selfishness and hate which are the basis of all troubles and struggles and strifes in the world. Mrs. Margaret Stevenson should learn that the upward path does not lie in criticising this religion or that but in tolerating all faiths and venerating them in the same way as we do our own. The equal i reatment of all religions imposes an obligation on the memebers of the different religions to practise mutual tolerance. Intolerance is a proof of incomprehension. Let me end by quoting : "There be many castes and many creeds, And many roads that wind and wind, But just the art of being kind, Is all that this world needs”. Victory to Jainism and Peace to All. THE END
