________________ AN EPITOME OF JAINIS.N. (v) That he survives intellectually only in the idea or the deed by which he immortalises himself. (uz) That he has no ground for expecting to receive in future life a recompense or punishment for his present conduct. (vii) That moral good and evil does not exist substantially, absolutely, inconsistently by themselves ; that they exist only nomi. nally, relatively and arbitrarily, (viii) That in fact there only exists risks against which man obeying the law of self-preservation within him, seeks to insure himself by the means at his command. Such has been in the main the conse quential development of moral ideas of the not live for out and out Materialistic philosophers of the past as well of the present age. And constituted as we are, it sends, as it were, a thrill of shudder to think of these ideas and ideals of the most grovelling nature curiously chalked out to pave the way for the satisfaction of the most lower instincts and brutal propensities of our life and living. Man does not live for bread alone, not for mere animal living ; nor for the satisfaction of Man does bread alone. 272
