We can scarce forbear mentioning that Jainism is not merely ethics and metaphysics but spiritualism too which is evidently manifest from the persistent emphasis laid by all the Jaina philosophers on the veritable achievement of samyagdarśana (spiritual awakening) before any Acāra subscribing to the attainment of emancipation is practised and pursued. Thus spiritualism pervades the entire Jaina Acāra, hence the charge that the Jaina ethics is incapable of transcending morality and does not land us deep into the ordinarily unfathomable ocean of spiritualism gives way.
