REALITY
'Brevity is the soul of wit', says the Poet. And the essentials of Jaina Philosophy and Religion have been described with the utmost brevity by Pujyapada in his celebrated work SARVARTHASIDDHI the earliest extant commentary on TATTVARTHASUTRA.
The Jaina interpretation of Reality is true to experience and steers clear of extreme one-sided views. The solution of Jainism is a reconciliation of the two extremes such as the doctrines of permanence and momentariness, monism and pluralism and identity and difference. Being' and 'becoming' are not mutually incompatible. It is this non-absolutistic attitude of Jainism, described by Professor Dasgupta as 'Relative Pluralism', that helps us to discover the truth regarding Reality
And when we ascertain the truth, we lay the foundations of real happiness and of ultimate good. The edifice of spiritual progress cannot be built except on the foundations of truth and dispassion.
