Jainism, an ancient religion, believes that the material world is eternal; progressing endlessly is a series of vast cycles. According to the great Lord Mahavira an aspirant huld exercise restraint in matters of movement. Standing, sleeping, sitting, eating and speaking one should exercise restraint in every activity of life. This is ethics. The daily stories recited in this book give both worldly and spiritual wisdom. The book has been broadly divided into three parts, which dwell on human behaviour, human knowledge and action. Certainly, this book will prove of immense value to common and serious reader of Jaina religion and ethics.
