Exploring the Soul and Karma in Jainism

The chapter delves into Jainism's concept of souls and their obstruction in knowledge, perception, energy, and bliss. It examines the relationship between souls and karmic matter, highlighting the dualism between non-self substances and the soul in Jainism's perspective. Ultimately, the aim of Jain practices is to liberate the soul from the cycle of karma, emphasizing unobstructed knowledge, perception, energy, and bliss as the path to enlightenment.
