Question

Which of the following statements best describes Jain Metaphysics? Choose the correct answer from the code given below.

i) Reality is devoid of plurality.

ii) Reality is characterized by 'manyness'.

iii) External world is the creation of the 'Absolute Consciousness'.

iv) The world is real and Nirvana is also real.

v) 'Karma' is the link which unites the soul to the body.

vi) Matter and spirit are separate and independent reality.

The correct answer is

ii, v and vi

The combination ii, v and vi contains three Jain commitments: a plural reality, karmic bondage of the soul, and the distinct reality of conscious soul and matter. Statement iv is also compatible with Jainism, but every alternative combination includes the false statement i or iii. Jainism does not regard the world as creation by an absolute consciousness.
