Jaina Philosophy and Religion
soul, and total and absolute dissociation of karmic matter), six substances (soul, medium of motion, medium of rest, matter, space and time), the path of liberation and its three constituents (right inclination, rightknowledge and right conduct), spiritualness, stages of spiritual development, code of conduct for laymen, logic and epistemology, doctrine of relative judgement, doctrine of standpoints and theory of non-absolutism. The third chapter deals with the miscellaneous topics related to metaphysics and ethics. The fourth chapter is devoted to the detailed exposition of karma philosophy (theory of moral causation). Both the chapters present various thoughts. Here ends my exposition.

May peace prevail everywhere in the whole world.
