Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Open Court, Vol. 49: Devoted to the Science of Religion, the Religion of Science, and the Extension of the Religious Parliament Idea, January, 1935
Freedom and bliss are very closely related, as will be seen by a consideration of the nature of bliss. Bliss is not pleasure. Pleasure and pain are experienced through the relation of jive to something other than itself. Pain may come through its association with a physical organism or body. Pleasure may be obtained by means of the physical organs, as hearing a musical symphony or tasting nice foods. Pleasure and pain being themselves simply accompaniments of particular transient experiences are temporary and impermanent. Pleasure depending on external conditions cannot be the ultimate good of a free spiritual being, the good of which to be entirely with in its own power must be within itself.

Excerpt from The Open Court, Vol. 49: Devoted to the Science of Religion, the Religion of Science, and the Extension of the Religious Parliament Idea, January, 1935
Jainism is a form of belief and practice of a small but influential community in India. It is probable that in earlier times the number of its adherents was far greater than at present: it is certain that they formerly possessed considerable political power and widespread organizations in Bengal, in the south around Mysore, and in Kathiawar. Most occidental scholars and some Indian writers still persist in describing Jainism as an off-shoot or reform of Brahmanical Hinduism. There seems to be more justification for the view of its own scholarly adherents that it was originally an independent movement not arising out of the Brahmanical tradition. It points back to a series of twenty-four Tirthankara or teachers of the present age, two of whom at least are generally regarded even by occidental students to be historical: Parsvanatha and Mahavira. The form which Jainism has at present is accredited to the reform and revival inaugurated by Mahavira. However its doctrines may have originated and developed in the past, it is now essentially a dogmatic system: certain fundamental conceptions and terms are accepted from tradition and from writings regarded as authoritative, and reflection amongst Jainas is directed to expounding the meanings of these terms and defending the validity of these conceptions.
Though Jainism may with good reason be called a religion, its main motive is ethical. By this is not to be understood ethical in the sense of predominantly sociological or otherwise humanistically utilitarian. Jainism, as ethical, is bound up with a definite system of metaphysics and with much of the character of rudimentary psychology. As a system of ethics it teaches a way of redemption from evil and of attainment of the good. This involves the ratna traya or three jewels, right faith, right knowledge, right conduct.
