Answer

Antagad Sutra ke according bahut se bhavya aatmao ko upsarg aaye, lekin iska ek simple fixed number “itne hi” ke roop mein dena uchit nahi hoga.

Antagad Dasao Sutra mein un mahaan sadhako ka varnan aata hai jinhone kathin upsarg, parishah aur kashton ko samta se saha aur ant mein moksha prapt kiya.

Explanation

Jain Dharma mein upsarg ka arth hota hai:

• bahari badha,
• sharirik ya mansik kasht,
• dev, manushya, tiryanch ya anya karanon se aane wali peeda,
• jo sadhak ki samta aur dharm-nishtha ki pariksha leti hai.

Antagad Sutra mein aise bhavya jeevo ka charitra bataya gaya hai jo:

• vairagya se dikshit hue,
• tapasya aur sanyam mein sthir rahe,
• upsarg aane par bhi krodh, maan, maya, lobh mein nahi aaye,
• aur ant mein karmon ka kshay karke siddha gati ko prapt hue.

Spiritual Understanding

Antagad Sutra ka mukhya sandesh number ya ginti se adhik samta, sahanshilta aur moksha-marg ki dradhata par hai.

Upsarg aane par bhi jo aatma:

• dharm se nahi hatti,
• raag-dvesh nahi karti,
• shuddh upayog mein sthir rehti hai,

vah apne karmon ko nirjara karke moksha ki aur badhti hai.

Takeaway

Antagad Sutra humein sikhata hai ki bhavya aatma upsarg se ghabrati nahi, balki samta aur sanyam se use moksha ka sadhan bana leti hai.
