The Calcutta Review an Illustrated Monthly (Third Series) May 1929

1929

In spite of the expansion which the knowledge of the hitory and literature of the Jainas has experienced through the work of a number of scholars the inner core of Jainism its doctrine still remained closed for the Occident for a long time. [...] From this obvious point of difference further great discrepancies result in the fundamental ideas of the systems as in the foundation of knowledge in the ethics in the doctrine of Karma and above all in the doctrine of salvation. [...]. In the world of knowledge the idea of Good appears last of all and is seen only with an effort; and when seen is also referred to the universal author of all things beautiful and right parent of light and the lord of light in this visible world and the immdiate source of reason and truth in the intellectual. [...] The body and the senses are not the true part of the soul but the rational part is the true part the immortal side of the soul. [...] The deliverance of the soul from the body and the contemplation of the eternal ideas; pure and beautiful is the ultimate goal of life.
