The second part of this brochure deals with the philosophy of the Jainas, which denies Advaitism or oneness, that spirit of Jiva alone is real but posits that Matter is as real and eternal as the spirit. It is observed that the Jaina philosophy is a live philosophy, ennobling and assuring and also optimistic. The authoress is of opinion (p. 42), wrongly, we think, that the Upanişads have indented for their philosophy on Jainism, and says that the major parts of the former are due to the desire of the Upanişadic writers to plant, unsuccessfully, their pet theories of oneness on to the Spirit and Matter of Jainism.
