For what purpose, for whom and for how long? Death comes before we have had time to even begin considering these questions." - T K V Desikachar

"The idea of non-acquisition is sometimes expanded to prevent people being selfish with their time and their talent. As a result Jains feel that they should take part in projects that benefit the Jain community around them, or other beings." - bbc.co.uk / religion
