Chapter - Sutra 23: The soul that is present everywhere within the body does not occupy a specific location; as the mind's activity regarding all objects perceived through the different locations of the body cannot occur without acknowledgment throughout the entire body. Therefore, it is said, "The wind passes through all." Now, the master of the senses states: "There is one sense of the living beings up to the level of air." Among microorganisms, ants, bees, and humans, each has progressively more senses. Those with a mind are considered sentient. In the twelfth and fourteenth sutras, the worldly souls are divided into two categories: stationary and mobile, which consist of nine types. For example, there are five types: earth beings, water beings, plant beings, fire beings, and air beings, along with four types of dual beings. Among these, the five from the air category have only one sense, and that is the sense of touch. 1. This is the view of the Shwetambara tradition; according to the Digambara tradition, the position of the substance-mind is not the whole body, but merely the soul.
