Answer

Mahavir Prabhu ke shashan mein jeev ka arth hai — atma, yani living soul.

Jain Dharma ke anusaar jeev mukhya roop se do prakaar ke hote hain:

• Sthavar jeev – jo ek-indriya hote hain
• Tras jeev – jo do se paanch indriya wale hote hain

Explanation

Jain Dharma mein har jeev mein atma hoti hai. Jeev chhota ho ya bada, dikhai de ya na de, sabhi mein chetna hoti hai.

1. Sthavar Jeev
Ye ek-indriya jeev hote hain. Inmein keval sparsh indriya hoti hai.

Udaharan:

• Prithvikay jeev – mitti, pathar adi mein jeev
• Apkay jeev – paani mein jeev
• Teukay jeev – agni mein jeev
• Vayukay jeev – hawa mein jeev
• Vanaspati-kay jeev – vanaspati, paudhe adi

2. Tras Jeev
Ye chalne-phirne wale jeev hote hain. Inmein do se paanch indriya tak hoti hain.

• Be-indriya jeev – sparsh aur ras indriya
• Tran-indriya jeev – sparsh, ras, gandh
• Chaur-indriya jeev – sparsh, ras, gandh, drashti
• Panch-indriya jeev – sparsh, ras, gandh, drashti, shravan

Panch-indriya jeevon mein manushya, dev, naraki, pashu-pakshi adi aate hain.

Spiritual Understanding

Bhagwan Mahavir ne sikhaya ki har jeev jeena chahta hai, dukh se bachna chahta hai. Isliye Jain Dharma ka mool siddhant hai:

Ahimsa Parmo Dharma

Yani kisi bhi jeev ko jaan-bujhkar dukh, kasht ya hani nahi pahunchani chahiye.

Takeaway

Mahavir Prabhu ke shashan mein jeev ka arth sirf manushya ya pashu nahi, balki har chetansheel atma hai. Is samajh se daya, karuna aur ahimsa ka bhav majboot hota hai.
