Jeev ka swabhav (Jain drishtikon)

• Jeev ya jiva kya hai: Jeev chetna se sampann akhand ashwasth (anadi-abhav) tattva hai. Matlab ki jiva nitya (amar), sakshi (chetna) hai, jo dharma, adharma, gyaan, darshan, bhavna jaise gunon se paripurn hota hai.
• Gyaan-darshan-bhav (madhya) ki sthiti: Jeev ki prakriti keval gyaan, darshan, vedna aur bhav se banisaha hoti hai. Parantu karma ki bandhan se in gunon ki vyavastha dhimi pad jati hai. Is bandh ko kholne par jiva ke paas kevala jnana (keval jnana) ya moksha mil sakta hai.
• Karma ka prabhav: Jiva karma ke granthon se dhire-dhire bandha jata hai, jisse jiva ki chetna aur anubhog ghatte hain. Karma ko pāk karne se aur punah prāpti (rebirth) hota hai; karma mukti milne par jiva ko paramanand (anant sukh) prapt hota hai.
• Ahdar austav (ahimsa) ki pratipada: Jain dharma ke anusar jeev doosre jeevon ki ahimsa se jeena chahiye. Ahimsa, sachchai, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha jaise yuktin se jiva ki bandhan kam hoti hai aur moksha ki aur pragati hoti hai.
• Digambar vs. Shwetambar me antar (sankshipt): Dono sampradayo ka mool drishti yahi hai ki jiva chetna hai, anadi hai, karm se bandh hota hai aur moksha hi uddeshya hai. Kuch vyakhya ya vyavaharik vichar mein dono dharmo ke beech thode bahut sankhya ya siddhantik vivad milte hain (jaise keval jnana ki prakriya, kevala ke phal ko lekar vishesh vistar), lekin mool swabhav par dono sehmat hain.

Aap chahen to main is vishay par Digambar aur Shwetambar ki pavitra sutra-samsamyik arth se jyada vistrit arth (arthavivek) de sakta/ sakti hoon.
