## Introduction

In scriptures, attaining human birth is said to be extremely rare. While the state of being a god is considered abundant with happiness and material possessions, it is not considered rare. However, human birth is considered rare because it is the only path to the highest state - liberation (moksha). This birth allows for the attainment of all stages of self-development and virtues. Gods and hell beings cannot progress beyond the four and five stages of virtues respectively. They lack the means for wisdom, penance, sacrifice, and self-improvement. Hell beings are bound by the suffering caused by their actions and karmic seeds, leaving no room for self-improvement. The state of being a hell being is a life of dependence and devoid of wisdom. This makes their state of self-development inferior. Human birth is the only birth where all possibilities for favorable conditions exist.

Even in human birth, due to the influence of environment and karmic impressions, there are many obstacles to self-development. Extremely hot regions, forests, mountainous areas, coastal regions, and islands all have their own unique challenges in terms of food, shelter, and lifestyle, making self-development a distant thought. These areas devoid of self-development are called "Anarya" regions in scriptures.

Attaining human birth is one of the rarest things in life. Similarly, a region where the principles of religion and ethics are prevalent, and the environment is conducive to self-development, is called an "Arya" region. Attaining such a region is also one of the rarest things in life. India is an Arya region. From its forests, mountains, valleys, villages, and cities, one can see the influence of religion and ethics in every aspect. The worship of the Supreme Being, fear of the afterlife, the impermanence of human life, and the worship of any principle worthy of worship are deeply ingrained in every corner of India. Every village, forest, and mountain in India expresses its impermanence through songs, stones, trees, and the application of vermillion, and worships deities.

For millions of years, this land has been immersed in religious principles. Saints, ascetics, and powerful individuals have left their mark on every corner of this land, ensuring the continuation of these principles. This is why India has always been the land of saints. Kings, emperors, merchants, and scholars, despite enjoying all the comforts of life, have always pondered the afterlife. This is why India has produced many kings who renounced their kingdoms and sought refuge in the forest. It has produced many merchants who donated their millions of wealth. It has produced many scholars who traveled far and wide in search of truth. India is not just concerned with material happiness but also with the pursuit of spiritual happiness.

This pursuit of spiritual happiness has led to the emergence of many religions in India. Each religion has established its own principles and created a framework for conduct and thought.

The classification of these diverse religions and thoughts is called "Shatdarshan" (Six Schools of Philosophy). The synthesis of these six schools of philosophy, or the synthesis of all religions, is Jainism. This is why Anandghanji Maharaj, in his praise of Lord Naminath, says that all philosophies are encompassed within Jainism. This synthesis is evident in the three verses "Uppenna E Va, Vigame E Va, Dhume E Va" spoken by Lord Mahavira, which were expanded upon by Ganadhar Bhagwan in the form of "Dwadashanga" (Twelve Angas).

These twelve Angas are divided into four "Anuyog" (Categories): Dravyanuyog, Ganitanuyog, Kathanyog, and Charan-Karananuyog.

Dravyanuyog deals with the nature of karma, its classification, bondage, emergence, liberation, existence, causes, and other subtle aspects of the six substances.
