There is no discovery of science that the Jain monks do not describe as already
mentioned in their scriptures. Then how come despite their scriptures being

anything significant in any field on the global scale. I believe, now they should
start sending their scriptures for the Noble prize.

In a child's brain, nothing like good - bad, mine - yours or vice - virtue exist. By

cannot take spicy or fried food, for that too it needs to be trained.
The person who does not love himself, though he may abstain from meat in the
name of non-violence; his mind can never be non-violent.
Many a times, our unessential understanding becomes the cause of our problem,
yet we can't resist applying our brain in every trivial matter.
Once you have commenced the task, then moving your concentration and
energies away, prior to its "successful completion" - is like inviting failure
yourself.
