Jain Radiance On The Western Horizon

[14] Conclusion

This leads on to our conclusion. The world of today is in desperate need of at least four teachings to which the Jains have unflinchingly witnessed: Co-dependence as part of an organically interrelated universe, positive non-violence in all its aspects, that there are various paths to the truth and the importance of the feminine. No one can teach these better than Jain householders dwelling in the modern cosmopolitan world. The educational task of the Association is enormous. One of the writers had the privilege to remark half-joking to Acharyaji Muniji Tulsi: "When people of non Indian descent have these principles put before them in terms they can understand and mate, you will have thousands upon thousands wanting to join you. How will you deal with such an influx?" He accepted the laughter in the remark and replied: "Our aim has never been to increase the numbers of our community but to help every human to discover what it is to be truly human."
