Solution

Mahavira believed in leading a very simple life. He was against rituals and sacrifices. He believed that every being has a soul and therefore, one must follow the principle of non-violence strictly.

According to Mahavira, the goal of life is to set the soul free and not be born again in this world. To achieve this, he proposed Tri-Ratna or the three jewels of life:

  1. Right belief
  2. Right knowledge
  3. Right action
