Mahavira's religion had no unique or strict requirements for religious conduct. His path was open to all. To him, everyone was equal. Therefore, he clearly believed that humans should behave and think toward other humans in the same way that they expect others to behave toward themselves. This is simply called the principle of live and let live. This was a peaceful gift to the human mind which was troubled by the then religion which was full of mere scholarship, mere rituals and conservative hypocrisy of customs and regulations filled with expensive ceremonies. Instead of exploiting humanity, religion should only benefit humanity. Religion should be the saviour of humanity.
Religion is humanity's strength. It unites us. If it divides or disturbs humanity, what kind of religion is it?
His ideas brought about an unprecedented revolution in the path of religion. He believed that religion should transcend rituals, dogmas, bad traditions, and superstitious beliefs. In fact, in its theoretical form, this ancient religion, like any developed human religion, contains all the principles of human welfare which inspires man not like a beggar but with confidence towards his own and others' welfare. Humans should live a good life and pave the way for a good life for others. This translates into Mahavira's call to live and let live.
We find Mahavira awakening the self-consciousness of human beings and establishing the ultimate principle of non-violence in reality, giving the blessing of fearlessness not only to human beings but to all living beings.
The path of self-purification, self-realization, self-reliance, non-violence and humanity that he showed to the world is still illuminated by his name and will always remain so.
