Discussion
Given below are two statements labelled Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Examine both with respect to the Jainism and select the correct code.
Assertion (A) : The Mukta Jīva are the released pure souls.
Reason (R) : Because it is possessed of ananta darśana, ananta jñāna, ananta vīrya and ananta sukha.
Answer: A
The answer is that both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
In Jainism, the mukta jīva is the soul freed from all karmic matter. Free of karma, it regains its natural perfections, the four infinites (ananta catuṣṭaya): infinite perception (darśana), infinite knowledge (jñāna), infinite energy (vīrya) and infinite bliss (sukha).
The four infinites are what mark the released soul as pure, so the reason states exactly why the assertion holds. Options calling either statement false contradict standard Jaina doctrine.
