2. There is a rule that dev and narak jiva’s leshya does not change and they die when one antarmuhurt remains at the end of its leshya. Does this mean that the lifespan of antarmuhurt remain unexperienced? (Kyã antarmuhurt ki ãyu unki binã bhoge hi raha j

Nahi, iska arth yeh nahi hai ki unki bachi hui antarmuhurt ki āyu “bhoge bina” reh jati hai.

Jain siddhant ke anusār:

• Ayu karma jīva ko jitne samay tak sharīr me rakhta hai, utni avadhi bhogī hui āyu hoti hai.
• Deva aur narak jīvon me leshya ka parivartan nahi hota, isliye unka antar-bhāv bahut sthir hota hai.
• Jab antarmuhurt mātra āyu shesh reh jati hai, tab yeh us jīva ki antim avadhi hoti hai. Iske baad mrityu avashya hoti hai.

Isliye yeh “unused time” nahi hai. Woh antarmuhurt bhi unki nāzhuk antim jīvan-avadhī hi hoti hai, jo pāchle karma ke anusār chal rahi hoti hai. Bas is samay me naya parivartan ya badlav ka avakāsh nahi hota, kyunki mrityu nikat hoti hai.

Saral shabdon me: Bachi hui antarmuhurt unki āyu ka hi antim bhāg hai; woh alag se bachi hui aur anubhavit na hui āyu nahi hai.

Agar aap chahein, main isko digambar aur shwetāmbara drishti se aur bhi spasht kar sakta hoon.
