Even as ornaments are varied but gold is one, religions are varied but their basic spiritual truth is the same.

 In Christianity, the term "Esu" (Jesus) is used to describe Christ. This term signifies the oneness of Divinity. The inner significance of the term "Esu" is the recognition of the one Divine in all beings. In Jainism also, the same truth was taught by Mahavira. When the senses are allowed to have their way, all kinds of reactions occur. It is only when the senses are brought under unified control, the nature of Divinity can be comprehended. The eyes have the power of sight. The ears can hear. The powers of all the sense organs - seeing, hearing, speaking, etc., are derived from the Divine. It is the Divine that enables the eyes to see, the ears to hear, the mind to think and to have various experiences. It is when all these sensory processes are brought under unified control (by the conquest of the senses) that man becomes a conqueror,, a ‘Jina’ - as termed by the Jains. Because he had conquered his senses, the title of victor was conferred on Mahavira.
