T ruth, emancipation, the nature of substance, the highest reality, the supreme pure goal, all these words convey the same meaning. quote 6220 | Jinendra Varni Saman Suttam, 34/590 share
A soul is characterised by consciousness; is eternal, immortal, different from the body (in which it is embodied), formless, an agent, and the door and enjoyer of his own Karmas (i.e., fruits of his actions). quote 6221 | Jinendra Varni Saman Suttam, 34/592 share
T he soul is not perceptible to the senses as it has no corporal form; it is eternal since it has no corporal form; due to internal activities like the passions, Karma binds the soul; and it is said that bondage is the cause of mundane existence. quote 6222 | Jinendra Varni Saman Suttam, 34/595 share
A ttachment binds the soul (with Karmas); a soul, which is free from attachments, becomes liberated from Karmas. Know that this surely is briefly (the nature of) the Karmic bondage of souls. quote 6223 | Jinendra Varni Saman Suttam, 34/596 share
A lways speak words which are dear (to others), even those wicked men who use harsh words ought to be forgiven; one must take the best from all people, these are illustrative of persons possessed of subdued passions. quote 6224 | Jinendra Varni Saman Suttam, 34/599 share

A person, having lost his selfawareness due to attachment and aversion, remains enslaved by the senses. His doors of karmic influx being open, he commits Karmas continuously through three fold means, i.e., mind, body and speech. quote 6226 | Jinendra Varni Saman Suttam, 34/601 share
T here is a continuous inflow of the Karmas through the doors of influx, i.e., violence etc., just as a boat with holes sinks in the sea due to the inflow of water, so does the soul. quote 6227 | Jinendra Varni Saman Suttam, 34/602 share
J ust as the water of a huge pond gradually dries by blocking the way of the inlet of water, drawing out its previous water and by sun heat, in the same way, the Karmas of the self-restrained, accumulated during crores of births, get destroyed by blocking the entrance of sinful deeds and by austerities. quote 6228 | Jinendra Varni Saman Suttam, 34/609 & 610 share
I t has been asserted by the Jinas that one who has not controlled the influx of the Karmas, does not achieve liberation by practising austerities only; just as the water of a pond does not dry completely, if the sources of the inlet of water are kept open. quote 6229 | Jinendra Varni Saman Suttam, 34/611 share
T he soul , l iberated from the Karmic pollution, ascends the top of the Universe and there enjoys transcendental infinite bliss, possessing all knowledge and all perception (i. e., being omniscient). quote 6230 | Jinendra Varni Saman Suttam, 34/614 share

A n atom is unextended. Due to its being unextended, it is devoid of sound, and it is either smooth or rough, i.e., with positive or negative charges. When the atoms are conjoined, they become subject to experience. quote 6235 | Jinendra Varni Saman Suttam, 36/652 share
