| Introduction: |
|
THE PHILOSOPHY OF JINA vis-a-vis UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD. |
| JINA means one who has established complete victory over sensory organs or sensual pleasures. Preaching's here mean expressions of actual experience. In other words what the world teacher- JINA, after attaining self realization as experienced was made available to those who also want to have similar experience. Experience is Knowledge par Excellence. His experience was nothing but Complete Knowledge of everything in the world and their continuous modifications and as a consequence of which is uninterrupted joy. |
| A doubt is but natural here about, |
| What are Complete Knowledge and Un-interrupted Joy? |
| Full and Complete Knowledge is the knowledge of all the substances in the world and their modifications they are subjected to, from the beginning-less time to the endless time. |
| Un-interrupted Joy is complete absence of anxiety born in oneself out of anything and everything in the world. |
| Universal Brotherhood is accepting other living beings as similar to oneself and complete abstinence of interference with the living and the non-living without any reservation whatsoever. In other words, you want your independence to be understood and respected and therefore it should be equally natural to understand and respect others' independence the same way. |
| JINA's Experience and Universal Brotherhood -How do they go together? OR / What is the relationship between the two? |
| JINA'S experience is that he is a unit of substance, complete, ever existing and uncreated, knowing energy. He believes every other living substance is also endowed with the same qualities. Therefore the following conclusion naturally emerges. JINA'S substance is only a knowing, realizing, understanding, feeling, reasoning energy. So when he sees in other living substances similar attributes, the cause cannot but establish "Brotherhood". There is no reason for liking or hatred to any other similar living being. In other words, 'Universal Brotherhood' is coexisting of all the living beings with peace and amity forever and forever in the universe. |
| Here, the beloved sisters may carry a grievance that their importance is lost sight of. No, they are very much in the Brotherhood as there is no sex difference in the knowing substance- Soul which is present in both. |
