I’ll answer step by step, in simple language, based fully on Jain siddhānt.

1. Do abhavya jīva lack mercy (karuṇā) or can it be present even a little?

Who is abhavya jīva?

In Jainism, souls are of two types:

• Bhavya jīva – those who are capable of attaining moksha one day.
• Abhavya jīva – those who are incapable of attaining moksha, ever.

Abhavya means: the soul in which true samyak-darshan (right faith) will never arise, so real moksha-mārga will never begin for it.

About mercy/karuṇā in abhavya jīva

Very important difference:

• Complete absence of karuṇā is not said.

Abhavya jīva can: - do dān, daya, seva, - feel pity, softness of heart, - do many good deeds, - get heavenly births, etc.

• But:

- They will never get samyak-darshan. - Their inner mithyātva (wrong belief) and anantānubandhī mohanīya (extreme deluding karma) are such that true spiritual turning within never happens.

So:

• Yes, some form of dayā / karuṇā can be present in an abhavya jīva (otherwise they could not do punya at all).
• No, they do not reach the highest, right-faith-based compassion that leads towards moksha.

Only a Kevalī Bhagwān truly knows who is bhavya or abhavya. For us, practical teaching is:

> Never label anyone as abhavya. > Treat every jīva (including yourself) as bhavya and strengthen real dayā, ahiṁsā and dharma.

2. Are there more bhavya jīva or abhavya jīva? What is the ratio / %?

According to Jain philosophy:

• The number of souls is infinite.
• Among them:

- Infinite bhavya jīva - Infinite abhavya jīva

When both sides are infinite, you cannot give a fixed ratio or percentage like “70–30” etc. Jain āgamas and Achāryas do not state any mathematical ratio.

Also:

• Only Kevalī Bhagwān knows exactly:

- how many are bhavya, - how many are abhavya, - who is which.

For us:

• Saying “more bhavya” or “more abhavya” in % is not scriptural.
• Our work is not to count, but to purify our own soul.

So the honest Jain answer:

• Both bhavya and abhavya jīva are anant (infinite).
• No ratio / % is given in scripture, and only omniscients know the exact details.

3. Will every bhavya jīva attain moksha?

By definition:

• Bhavya jīva = soul that has the capacity to attain moksha someday.

So, in Jain siddhānt:

Yes – every bhavya jīva will attain moksha

• A bhavya jīva can and ultimately will reach moksha, because:

- It is capable of generating true right faith (samyak-darshan). - From that come samyak-jñān and samyak-chāritra. - Gradually karmas are destroyed and moksha is surely attained.

But keep in mind:

1. Not necessarily in this birth.

Very often it takes endless births.

1. Not necessarily in this time-cycle (avasarpiṇī).

- Present time is mostly adharma-pravṛtti, very few get moksha. - But in the vast infinite time, the bhavya jīva will definitely get the right conditions and reach liberation.

1. A bhavya jīva can:

- fall, rise, do sins, do punya, go to hell, heaven, human, tiryañch, etc. - But somewhere in the long journey, true samyak-darshan definitely arises. - After that, if the path is completed, that soul becomes a siddha.

So, in short:

• Every bhavya jīva = guaranteed potential moksha.
• When? – depends on:

- its own effort, - intensity of passions, - karmic load, - satsang, right guru, right śāstra, etc.

Small summary

1. Abhavya jīva and karuṇā

- They can have some mercy and do good deeds. - But because samyak-darshan never arises, their compassion never becomes the full, moksha-path-leading anukampā of a true dharmī.

1. Bhavya vs abhavya ratio

- Both are infinite in number. - No percentage or ratio is given in Jain scriptures. - Only Kevalī knows the exact distribution.

1. Will every bhavya jīva attain moksha?

- Yes, eventually every bhavya jīva will attain moksha, - though not necessarily in this birth or this time-cycle. - “Bhavya” itself means “moksha is possible and will surely happen sometime.”

Practical message of Jain dharma:

• Never worry “Am I abhavya?”
• Always live and practice as a bhavya jīva:

- strengthen right belief in tattvas, - reduce anger, pride, deceit, greed, - practice ahiṁsā, forgiveness, and self-discipline. This is the safest and truest Jain way.
