The theological basis of non-violence as the highest religious duty has been interpreted by some Jain scholars not to "be driven by merit from giving or compassion to other creatures, nor a duty to rescue all creatures," but to result from "continual self-discipline," a cleansing of the soul that leads to one's own spiritual development, which ultimately affects one's salvation and release from rebirths.
