Answer

Yes, your Maharaj Saheb is teaching a very important Jain principle: Jain Dharma does not give spiritual value based on caste, birth, wealth, or social status.

In Jainism, a soul is judged by its karma, conduct, purity, restraint, and spiritual effort — not by caste.

Explanation

Jain Dharma teaches that every living being has a soul, and every soul has the potential to attain liberation. Birth in a particular family or community does not make a soul higher or lower.

The example of Harikesh Muni is often remembered in Jain tradition to show that true greatness comes from:

• renunciation,
• right faith,
• right knowledge,
• right conduct,
• and inner purity.

He is respected as a great saint, not because of birth, but because of his spiritual qualities.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, the real identity of a person is not caste, body, family, or status. The real identity is the atma — the soul.

A person born in any background can become spiritually great through:

• ahimsa,
• satya,
• brahmacharya,
• aparigraha,
• tapasya,
• and self-discipline.

This is why Jainism honors saints, sadhus, sadhvis, shravaks, and shravikas for their virtues, not for their caste.

Takeaway

Your Maharaj Saheb’s message is fully aligned with the spirit of Jain Dharma: there is no spiritual superiority by caste in Jainism; the path to moksha is open to every soul through right conduct and purity.
