Can human attain moksha
Quick Answer
Yes, humans can attain moksha according to Jain philosophy. Moksha is the final ideal and sumum bonum of the Jiva, achievable only in the human form through gradual development by following prescribed Jain methods.
Detailed Answer
In Jainism, moksha represents the ultimate liberation and the highest goal of the soul (Jiva). It is emphasized that only the Jiva in human form is capable of attaining moksha because the body is necessary for the desire and effort towards liberation. This means that while the soul is eternal, the opportunity to achieve moksha arises uniquely during human existence.
