LIVING BEINGS
Lesson 9-Living Beings
I am a living being. I breathe, I eat, and I drink. I see and I hear. I feel happy and I feel sad. My nature is to know and feel.
There are two kinds of living beings.
The first kind of living beings is the enlightened beings. Arihantas (Tirthankars or Jinas) and Siddhas are enlightened beings. They are happy or blissful forever. Arihantas are human beings and after their death they will attain Moksha (liberation). Siddhas have attained Moksha. They are pure souls. They do not go through the cycle of birth and death.
