there is no place where jeev are not there? is a black hole in space a tye of jeev with a kaay?
Answer
In Jain Dharma, not every space is full of jeev. There are jeev in the lokakash (the universe), but alukākāsh / alokakash is devoid of jeev and matter.A black hole in space is not considered a jeev or a kaay in Jain philosophy. It is best understood as pudgal (matter), not as a living soul.
Explanation
In Jainism:- Jeev means soul / living being
- Ajiv means non-living substance
- Kaay means a body-category of living beings, such as:
A black hole is a modern astronomical object. Jain scriptures do not describe it as a special kind of jeev. So we should not label it as a soul with a body.
If you are asking more generally whether life exists everywhere in the universe, Jain philosophy says the loka is full of innumerable living beings in many forms. But that does not mean every physical object is alive.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma teaches us to see the difference between:- Jeev — the conscious soul
- Ajiv — non-conscious matter, space, time, motion, and rest
This distinction is very important. Not everything powerful, mysterious, or vast in the universe is a living being.
Takeaway
So, in short:- Jeev are found throughout loka, but not in alokakash
- A black hole is not described in Jainism as a jeev or a kaay
- It is better understood as ajiv pudgal, not a living soul
