humane qualities and jainistic approach towards the life but these selected aphorisms do not inspire the reader. The collection is neither revealing the message thoroughly nor the wisdom of the selected aphorisms is unearthed. However the endeavours of the Research Foundation for Jainology will succeed and this volume may also fulfill the desire of the compiler.
Here I may be allowed to refer to a small book published in 1975, captioned, One thought a day (afafaa aa faar), based on thinkings of Lord Mahavir. This collect includes 365 aphorisms culled out of two Jaina Agams (250 from the uttaradhyana and 115 from the Dashavai kalika). One can read a single aphorism and meditate. This thought-provoking collection also have some nags (about 50 in number) but most of the aphorisms are worth penetra
tion.
