IV
MIMAMSA
1. The next school of
thought to which we come the Mimasma of Jaimini. Jaimini's
system cannot really be called a philosophy. It is rather a system of
ritualism. It dose not concern itself with investigation into the nature of
soul, mind, matter but with a correct interpretation of the ritual of the
Veda and the solutions of doubts and discrepancies in regard to Vedic
texts caused by the discordant explanations of opposite schools, It is
therefore a critical commentary on the ritual portion of the Veda. We
shall therefore at once pass to the Vedanta philosophy.
